Query Swap

Whether you are getting ready for the madness of Pitch Wars, or querying agents directly... it is always good to have an extra set of eyes (or two, or ten) on your query. We all know the saying about first impressions.

To that end...I thought it might be helpful to have a place to to critique queries for each other. The only request is that you find something positive to say about any query you critique along with your suggestions on how to make it even more sparkly.

If you would like me to post your query on this page for critique, please email me at jodieandrefski (at) gmail (dot) com, and put "Blog Query Critique" in the subject line. If you have a blog, please link to thispost to get the word out. The more people that see it, the more feedback we will all get. I will start posting received queries tomorrow. You do not have to include your name, but please format it as follows:

MS Title
Genre
Word Count

Query. (it's up to you if you want to include your bio)

Also, I've started an "Ask a Teen" section on my blog. If you have a specific question that you want to ask a teen (I have girls and guys helping!), be sure to check out the tab at the top of my page.
