Have you spotted your query from any editors you submitted to yet?

We seem to be in the minority-a lot of fantasy submitted. Do you think you spotted your query yet?

Andrea Miles @andreamiles.bsky.social · 31/03/2025
What about if the pages have the first chapter in present day, and the second chapter goes back in time? Is it okay to have the query & synopsis just begin with the beginning of the MC's timeline?

Thank you for the feedback Joel! You editors are doing such a great job being vague- & yet specific-really makes us authors think carefully about what could be our work!

That’s great! In my group, each of us has different strengths so feedback is helpful. The problem w our schedule can be that we forget plot details sometimes 😅 And the whole slow pace as I mentioned. I’m thankful for them though!

My group meets every 2-3 weeks depending on people’s schedules. 4 of us, so 2 share about 25 pages each time. It’s great when working on a first draft, but too slow when we have a finished draft.

Ooh, can you tell me about your swapping…protocol I guess you’d say? My writing group has been discussing a different way of sharing w each other & so far we haven’t settled on anything.

Anyone reading anything good while #revpitwaiting for more #10queries? I’m enjoying The Collected Regrets of Clover by Mikki Brammer.

I heard an agent say that if a book opens with a young MC (under 18), the book is YA. My MC is 17, but the book covers 10 years. My beta readers suggested I pull a chapter from later (present day) for ch 1, then chapter 2 starts w her at 17, follows her to motherhood. Would that make it new adult?
