While there's still time to slide a few in under the wire, early #querystats for March put the total at 328 queries for the month!

I'm working on acknowledging receipt of full manuscripts, but my inbox be like Disneyland mid-summer. Plus 53 fulls. #querystats

Request pile: 32 partials, 19 fulls, 3 proposals, 2 picture books. Caught up to Feb 9 on query letters. #querystats

Even though I'm closed to regular queries, I am open to select queries via certain hashtags and contests, so here's an update! #QueryStats

I have responded to all queries sent! Hoping i can stay on top of them now. Percent requested in 2017: 4.84% #querystats

I have responded to all queries sent before I closed January 15th! Now I just have those sent since March 1st (all 206 of them!) #querystats

Update for Feb #querystats:
Responded to 200 of 400 queries
Requests: 2 (YA fantasy, YA sci-fi)
Total YA: 89
Total MG: 41
Total Adult: 70

Here's some #querystats: so far, of the 15 total MSs I've requested, 14 are YA and 1 is Adult (but could also probably be marketed as YA)

I have responded to all queries sent in 2016. (not requested materials, getting through all the queries first) #querystats

And here it is: #querystats (so far) for February. Will update as I go along. penandparsley.com/blog/2017/3/1/…

Final updated #querystats for January! penandparsley.com/blog/2017/2/1/…

Query update! I received 476 queries in January! Still have to respond to 280. Current breakdown here: penandparsley.com/blog/2017/2/1/… #querystats

Caught up on cold queries to Nov. 5. Have 45 full manuscripts under consideration. #querystats

Just deleted all 14,863 queries from 2016. Fresh start for 2017 when @PSLiterary opens to pitches again tomorrow. #querystats

So yes, we get 15k queries a year, but we DO sign clients. We ARE looking for new voices. Query well & query widely. #querystats

I also get 10-15 referrals a year from other clients & industry friends that go to the top of my list. #querystats

I request ~10-40 manuscripts a month via the slush pile. Which is about a 1-3% request rate via traditional queries #querystats

I signed 1 client from a @WritersDigest webinar, which is a first! #querystats

I think I made ~5-7 offers of representation via slush pile manuscripts--and signed 4 new authors via traditional queries #querystats
