Five more agents queried. Twenty more to get to 30 which is my initial batch goal. Then three more times. 1 out of 90's gotta want to rep me right?
Right? Lol.

I have finally achieved nirvana.
Heard back from an agent I thought was a great fit. And wasn't devastated by the response.
Not bad.

'Recommend' appears exactly once across my two current edited manuscripts. Yes, I checked to make sure I spelled it right (I most often write without spellcheck, and 'recommend' always gets me loooollll). Here it is :-) From my #querying NA SFF, 'Obedi Corpus' #WIPSnips #WriteSky #BookSky 💙🪐 🪐📚

We used to fight about boundaries. Or more, I would state my boundaries and she would cross them. When I inevitably got angry, she would dismiss my concerns or tell me to “get over it.”

In which two writers in the querying trenches decide to tell literary agents what it is exactly about the cuts of their various jibs that we think need improvement. We 💯knew what we were doing when we came up with this idea, yes, yes, oh yes. #writingcommunity #booksky #podcast #writesky #querying

I have query rejection punch cards to make querying a little less miserable.
Did I get rejected? Yes.
Will I get a little treat when it happens a few more times? Also yes.

Do agents actually hate prologues? 🤔
Agent Eric Smith @ericsmithrocks.bsky.social sets the record straight--and the real answer is much more nuanced than the advice you've been hearing.

Curious how other #querying writers handle sending batch queries? I sent 6 or so about 6 weeks ago, and I’m debating sending another batch here soon. I prefer smaller batches, but interested in everyone’s process! #WritingCommunity #amquerying

Text reads "The Forest Between Us. An Urban Fantasy Novel, complete at 95,000 words"
Text: Pitch - When a group of teens are targeted by a malevolent entity emanating from the forest, demanding their help, they must decide what they’re willing to sacrifice to keep their friends safe from the hungry being that lurks beyond the trees.
Text: Themes - Grief/loss, The thing in the forest is hungry, Queer friendship/romance, Small town coming-of-age mystery, promise vs. duty
Text: "This close to Ofern Forest, the cool dampness of the trees normally sapped the heat from the air, but that summer had been a stubborn one." "...she was more worried that the meteor would land in the wrong place, that it wouldn’t find its home here on earth because it belonged in space."
Currently #querying my YA urban fantasy that follows a group of teens as they attempt to unravel the mystery buried deep in the forest.
