Where can I get a query critiqued? I have read all there is on writing one but still do not feel comfortable with mine for either of two books. The critues say don;t use parantehiticals but my quuery is much stornger with one or two since one ois a comic mystery.

The board is on Share Your Work (often called SYW) and it's called Query Letter Hell, because they're that much fun.

Like all the SYW boards, all members may give feedback, but only those with 50 posts may seek feedback. And moderators watch for those making a hurried 50 posts lacking content, since what we hope for is that the writer engage with the community before asking for its collective expertise.

So go forth and engage, okay?

Maryn, engaging

A recommendation: get the rest of your 50 posts by critting in SYW. Look forward to seeing you there!

ditto: hike up your count critting. It's a fast way to learn when out of the hot seat.
