Jes, you said we could ask you follow-up questions. Re: I didn't realize that Query Tracker has an auto-close default. If a writer sends you something via query manager and it auto closes, is it officially closed on the agent's end, or just closed on the writer's QTracker?
Ann, would the Pixar Story Spine work?
It was awesome. Thank you for having this.
Perfect! Thank you
What word count range do you have in mind?
β€οΈ this! Thank you. Informative, and tickled my funny bone. "It can be your magnum opus, and Iβll still have to reject it."π
A great resource for those in the query trenches.
OMG, hilarious!!!!! Spilled my mushroom coffee. When I watched the original episodes on tv w/my mom (yes, I'm THAT old) I said, "Why does she hv friends? Everyone she knows dies. She is prob secretly always the killer so she has more material!" Obviously, didn't know the formula for cozy mysteries
And this..so many @matisyahu.bsky.social songs actually. Thank you for the anthem music and positivity youtu.be/p53pDNodxHE?...
Needed this today
Thank you so much for the response and for offering this Q&A, Michelle. Cried over this one. So close! A writer mentor said this process is like a marriage. Spot on! Better to get a nonproposal now than a divorce or unhappy marriage later, I guess. Onward π.
If an agent requests more work, then a rewrite of the orig. sub-which you do -but in the end gives a champagne rejection, should you send a 'thank you for the opportunity'? There was quite a bit of correspondence. Don't want to be rude, but also don't want them to hv an extra email to open.
I just wanted to say thank you for even having an "I only read your query form." It truly feels like a gift. It gives writers a bit of information without it hopefully being too much additional work for you.
A Castle for Christmas with Brooke Shields and Cary Elwes.
To escape a scandal, a bestselling author journeys to Scotland, where she falls in love with a castle -- and faces off with the grumpy duke who owns it.
If anyone is wondering if kidney donation is safe, I donated mine in 2023 and am living my life normally. Consider this request, or at least share?
Thank you for letting us know. Is there a limit to how many you can send? I have PB manuscripts about fractions, pi, and symmetry.
Just curious...if an agent says your writing is strong! (With an !), but it's not a fit for them, were they just trying to be nice?
This sounds so interesting!
Yes! Thanks for posting all the agent stuff on your feed as well. So helpful.
This sounds amazing!
Always a worthy topic. As a classroom teacher I would love to read this!
Thank you. I was so excited!
Yahoo! No A or E likes yet, but IT STARTS WITH A CIRCLE just earned a #sunwritefun AMA prize! Also this: "This is very well written. Your rhyme & meter are so strong. I love that it's a nonfiction piece written in rhyme. It combines the whimsy of poetry w/the knowledge building of nonfiction."
I would def this! Best of luck
Great premise! Good luck
This sounds awesome! Good luck
This is such a cool idea. Crossing my fingers for you!
Thank you. Ok, an another note. I just got off a zoom with a friend who has a picture book out next year. Did you have a book debut group for yours? How did you find one?
Such a fun contest! Thanks for donating #SunWriteFun! fingers crossed! #kidlit www.karengreenwald.com/sunwritefun-25
