Q3: YA urban fantasy. Really neat and original concept with some retelling elements. Writing didn't grab my attn in sample. Pass #tenqueries

Q2: YA dystopian. Pass. #tenqueries (sigh)

Q1: A. Claims to be contemporary fiction, then futuristic SF, then dystopian. Know your genre! Pass. #tenqueries

Q10: Adult romance. The query is long and tells far too much. I know entire story, and nothing makes me need to read more. Pass. #tenqueries

Q9: Women’s fiction. Really interesting concept til it turns into spiritual quest to find herself. It is just not for me. Pass. #tenqueries

Q8: YA fantasy. The query uses really good comps, but sounds derivative, not comparable. There's a lot like it in market. Pass. #tenqueries

Q7: Adult thriller. It is only 40K words long, which is much too short for genre. Includes pages, I only want query. Pass #tenqueries

Q6: Cozy. The query is very confusing. Over six characters named & a lot is revealed, still don't know what it's about. Pass #tenqueries

Q5: Adult fantasy. I only represent YA and crossover fantasy, and this is clearly for the adult market. Pass #tenqueries

Q4: Romantic suspense. Really great concept, but there is a mafia element which is not for me. Pass #tenqueries

Q3: MG fantasy. The idea is good, but the writing is clunky and too much is going on. It is all about the writing. Pass #tenqueries

Q2: YA fantasy. The main character is 21, so it isn’t YA. It also sounds like a lot of other manuscripts I get. Pass #tenqueries

Q1: MG steampunk. This is a really hard genre, but the writing is great, it's really creative & comps are fantastic. Request. #tenqueries

Q10: NA. Vampires. Stalker boyfriends. Not interested in any of this. Pass. #tenqueries

Q9: Counted 10 paragraphs about the author and 3 sentences on the book. Pass. #tenqueries

Q8: A Fantasy. The world felt rich & compelling, writing lush & accessible, dialogue convincing & realistic. Partial! #tenqueries

Q7: Loads of attachments. "Here's my book! Enjoy." Nope. Pass. #tenqueries

Q6: YA Fantasy. If I can think of what the ms sounds EXACTLY like before the comp title is mentioned, it's not unique. Pass. #tenqueries

Q5: YA contemp. Voice of the query & sample matched, writing style feels fresh AND reminiscent of Morgan Matson. Partial! #tenqueries

Q4: YA sci-fi. Aliens and Chosen One theme. Better suited for a sci-fi agent - there's a fine line between SF and Fantasy! Pass. #tenqueries
