Now in the stage of querying where I rethink my ENTIRE novel. Good time, good time. 🫠

Had another agent who requested more sample pages after the initial query. Just got the rejection today. They liked my story but have to be really selective. So, a good rejection.

That’s 31 out of 95. 63 more to go!

Such great #revpit #10queries advice for other MG Contemporary writers below from @leahrambadt.bsky.social! MG seems tough right now, so hopefully this is helpful. I've reposted my feedback here as well. [FP/QL8]. :) 😍 #iamquerying

Got a rejection bc high word count, BUT they’re open to review it if lower to industry standard for a debut. Only idk if Adult Fantasy standard is 115k or 120k.😬

120k from 128k is already daunting. I’ve managed to cut 1.5k already. 🫠🫠 #querying #iamquerying #query #querytrenches

If I have a great idea for an #ICE themed #horror #movie who should I query? I guess I could write it as a story but I think it should be a movie.

But I don't really know any good agents to approach, also because normally what I would be thinking to write would be Science Fiction / Fantasy genres.

But any suggestions?

It is not possible to will literary agents to respond to your query.

I have tried that strategy before.

received a very kind rejection from an agency I was feeling optimistic about.

“This was a hard decision as I enjoyed what I read, but the current market is very difficult for Middle Grade Fantasy”

keeping my chin up as the feedback was positive! one step closer… #iamquerying #booksky

When the past is so deeply rooted, can you truly change the branches of the future?

#1stlinepit on insta today, I’m excited to share the first two lines of Daughter of the Eyolas Tree.

#pitch #pitchevent #adult #fantasy #querying #Q #F #A #iamquerying #agents #litagents #editors #adultfiction
Graphic with the words: First Lines of Daughter of the Eyolas Tree Without looking up from reading her textbook, Alina Kavenaugh reached forward and lifted her open water bottle into the air, just seconds before a pair of trays landed on the dining hall table in front of her. Unfazed by the loud entrance, she finished reading the sentence before turning her violet eyes to look up at her room-mate, raising an eyebrow as she did. Graphic with the words: Between attending pre-med class. diving practice, and completing course work, Alina Kavenaugh doesn't have time to decipher the meaning behind her reoccurring dream of a strange places and mysterious people. But after she is accidentally pulled into the university diving pool, Allie finds herself in Uain — a different world where her violet eyes identify her as a Seer, a dangerous race of individuals that can see the past, present and future. And who haven't been seen for the past 200 year. Now in the custody of the handsome young King DeVon, she must search for a way home while also unraveling i mysterious threat to the crown, and the history of her own lineage. Graphic with images of a sword against a trees, flowers framing a castle in the distance and a sketch pad. Surrounded by the words: Featuring: Portal Fantasy Slow burn Last of her kind Royal Secrets Banter Grumpy Vs SmartAss Enemies to something Fights Secret Powers Ball Room Dance One horse Hidden Past Graphic with the image of the chronical of narnia book cover with the words portal fantasy under it The night Hunt book cover with the words last of her kind under it Anime characters with the words anime vibes above it 10 things I hate about you movie poster with the words character banter above it

Wondering how life is out here in Queryland? I've lost track of so many of its denizens, here at the nice place.

Are you out there? Keep querying. Keep revising and sending.

One step closer to the YES.

But it's not as bad as it sounds: Reese still doesn't realize it, the demons gave him a job and he might like his boss, who just happens to be named Luc
