I also think she was saying I played the romance part up TOO much, so it was hard to tell if it was UF or PR. Something else to keep in mind when I'm tinkering with my query.

Its so hard because the majority of UFs also have romantic subplots. Heck, I was told that I didn't have enough romance pre-revision.

Hi! I'm usually in the writing for kids area, but I moseyed over here when I saw people were talking pitch-fest. It looks like a lot of us AWs entered. Anybody else still waiting?
I'm on page 5 of Elana's, and I think she's only asked to see one. Doesn't look good. |

I queried Elana. Interested to see her response.

Why does the vocabulary machine inside my brain break down every time I try to write?

Blogged about my week. So... not a totally useless day.

Anyone want to slaughter my query before it takes a slot in QLH?

I think Elana's actually emailing people vs. telling them to mail her, so I'm not sure we know how many she's requested.
Sarah, I can take a look, if you like. Thanks, guys---I guess I'll live. Lol. Messing with my query still, sigh.

I was just going to offer that. Be aware though that I am GOD AWFUL at query critique.
