I can describe my novel's hook a million different ways, but if you want to know how it *feels*, these songs paint a picture of Phoebe's emotional journey. Also, it's got some real bangers. More at the link. open.spotify.com/playlist/4wP... #amquerying #writingcommunity #revpit

There are three types of voice in writing: author, narrator, and character. Author voice = writing style Narrator voice = the voice telling the story (i.e. POV) Character voice = the way your character thinks and speaks #WritingCommunity #AuthorServices #AuthorCommunity #Editor

Solid dark teal background. The main text says, “Disclaimer.” The body text says, “As always, general advice is complicated and hard. There are always exceptions and times when it isn’t applicable. This is why getting individual feedback can be so important. Remember: use the advice that works best for you and your writing!”

And that's all of them! If you think you saw yours, call out. ;) If you have any general questions about the querying process, please ask. I'll be here for a little while. Again, direct feedback (marked-up letters and pages) will be delivered to my #10queries authors next week. :)

Q20 YA C There’s a LOT of quick-moving dialogue in these pages without anything between. No movement, just back-and-forth. MC’s tone is juvenile & maybe a little unlikeable. This the best place to start? I want to see MC more settled & less at the start of this part of the story. #revpit #10queries

Nicole Frail, Book Editor @nicolefrailedits.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

Q20 YA C Based on MC’s age and university/college, this might be NA instead. Comps are getting “old" so keep an eye. I love this title; I think it really sets the tone of the story before even having to read it. I’m just not sure I can identify the stakes from this summary. #revpit #10queries

150 5

Nicole Frail, Book Editor @nicolefrailedits.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

P19 YA C Page 1 tells me there may be a love interest after all! I’d like to see that in the QL if it’s a big part of the story. A lot of backstory in the pages and I wonder if they’d be better elsewhere. I’d need to read more to determine. I do like MC’s voice. #revpit #10queries

130 3

Nicole Frail, Book Editor @nicolefrailedits.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

Q19 YA C Ooh, this one is for fans of Fault in Our Stars/Five Feet Apart, minus the romance? Lots of good stuff in the QL, but perhaps a bit too much about the author and not enough about what happens in the story. We have the why, but I’d like a few details for how/what. #revpit #10queries

130 3

Nicole Frail, Book Editor @nicolefrailedits.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

P18 MG C MR Really good pages! I love the bit of mystery/suspense they give, even though I know what should happen next. I just want to see the MC experience the moment. I also enjoyed the coping mechanism demonstrated on these pages; I think it’ll be useful for anxious readers. #revpit #10queries

230 3

Nicole Frail, Book Editor @nicolefrailedits.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

Q18 MG C MR Another good letter! Everything seems to be here, and I’d be very interested in seeing how the bit of magic mentioned is incorporated. I can see the journey in this MS being healing for the MC, and it makes me want to read on. #revpit #10queries

130 3

Nicole Frail, Book Editor @nicolefrailedits.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

P17 A R Pages are great. I don’t have anything to pick at. I love the suspense built in because of what the QL revealed and I’m just waiting for the MC to catch up and learn what I know. Good job! I’d absolutely read more. #revpit #10queries

240 4

Nicole Frail, Book Editor @nicolefrailedits.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

Q17 A R Great letter. It has everything it needs except one more comp. I do think it sounds more contemporary than romance, though. It feels like the romance is a subplot, from the summary, anyway. Either way, I’m eager to read these pages. #revpit #10queries

150 5

Nicole Frail, Book Editor @nicolefrailedits.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

P16 YA M Love the opening line. I don’t love the omni pov. There’s a decent amount of head-hopping in these opening pages, and even though I really like the content, it’s difficult (for me) to read. This could be entertaining (the QL definitely is)! #revpit #10queries

140 4

Nicole Frail, Book Editor @nicolefrailedits.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

Q16 YA M This letter is great! I would request one more book comp, but structure is great. Characters-check. Conflict. Stakes. Word count should be good. I thought, perhaps, this would be dual pov but I snuck a peek at the pages and that’s not the case. Still sounds good, though! #revpit #10queries

230 3

Nicole Frail, Book Editor @nicolefrailedits.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

P15 A C Pages were excellent! In addition to amusing one-liners and a quick meet-cute, I also really like the insight into this industry that we’re delivered. I don’t think I’ve read anything with an MC in this position before, so this was fresh for me. Good work! #revpit #10queries

150 5

Nicole Frail, Book Editor @nicolefrailedits.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

Q15 A C Great metadata para, except one comp is 6yo now. Break up the summary para; long paras can be difficult to follow. There’s mention of family issues but I don’t see how they’re relevant to the story. Spend more time on that point so we understand what it means to the MC. #revpit #10queries

240 4

Nicole Frail, Book Editor @nicolefrailedits.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

P14 YA F I really enjoyed these! We learn so much re: setting and the MC in the first few pages, and I appreciate getting to experience an important custom. Perhaps a lot of names dropped in here, but they’re spread out so it doesn’t feel like too many. I’d keep reading. #revpit #10queries

150 5

Nicole Frail, Book Editor @nicolefrailedits.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

Q14 YA F Great letter. Good comps, structure, details. I only hesitated because it was seems like this book wouldn't have closure, that the story would continue into book 2. Advice is usually to make sure Book 1 can stand alone, as multi-book offers aren’t too common for debuts. #revpit #10queries

250 5

Nicole Frail, Book Editor @nicolefrailedits.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

A13 MG F Minus opening paras, we’re into the adventure! Action is fun and easy to follow. I’m not sure I 100% understand the “magic” of what may or may not be happening in this moment. Can’t tell if the moment in the QL is happening here or if this is a tease of some kind. #revpit #10queries

130 3

Nicole Frail, Book Editor @nicolefrailedits.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

Q13 MG F I’ve worked on books like this one before, so I know the concept can work if it’s done well. The MC is a little too old for MG, and I can’t identify what’s at stake or what the character truly wants from the summary provided. #revpit #10queries

130 3

Nicole Frail, Book Editor @nicolefrailedits.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

P12 A R Loved these! Introduces conflict, MCs, LI: everything we need to know. Especially clear what’s at stake if the MC can’t reach her goal. There’s a nice balance in the pages between the LI and the MC’s goal, which is not exactly to pursue the LI. He seems to be an aside. More pages needed!

120 2

Nicole Frail, Book Editor @nicolefrailedits.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

Q12 A R I like this one! Reads like a summary for a Hallmark movie. The question is whether it’s R or BC, and the QL definitely sets it up to be R. Good structure, summary. I see characters, conflict, and stakes. I like the bio too. Really not much to do here. Good work! #revpit #10queries

Nicole Frail, Book Editor @nicolefrailedits.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

Part 2 starts here. Didn't realize it was going to be such a challenge to find among the replies. 😅

Nicole Frail, Book Editor @nicolefrailedits.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

P11 A H I do like this, but it reads summer sleepaway camp over 20s-with-jobs. Feels young for adult audience. Lots of names dropped and fast conversation. I would need to read more and I almost wonder if page 1 is necessary. #revpit #10queries

140 4

Nicole Frail, Book Editor @nicolefrailedits.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

Q11 A H Definitely something I’d read for funsies. QL needs a bit of rearranging, just moving the paragraphs around to allow the reader to fully understand the story and vibes. Bio looks good, and I appreciate that the humor alluded to stretches to the bio para, too. Good work! #revpit #10queries

Just another reason to do market, agent, and publisher research while writing!

010 1

Nicole Frail, Book Editor @nicolefrailedits.bsky.social · 08/04/2026

It's something librarians and educators have been very vocal about lately. There's "upper YA" which is 16-18. So younger would be 12-14. It's not something I've seen on the back of a book yet, but I have seen 14+ and Upper YA. Will depend on publisher how they market it.

130 3

Nicole Frail, Book Editor @nicolefrailedits.bsky.social · 08/04/2026

2023 is fine! Three years old is good, 4 years is okay, 5 years is max. But the more recent the pub, the better, as it'll show agents/editors how your book compares to today's market rather than the market five years ago.

020 2

Nicole Frail, Book Editor @nicolefrailedits.bsky.social · 08/04/2026

I'd suggest an omni or collective or unnamed narrator/voice for that prologue rather than putting all 4 voices in one section. I think that'd be a lot for readers to digest before the story "technically" starts.

Nicole Frail, Book Editor @nicolefrailedits.bsky.social · 08/04/2026

And that’s all for this first set! If you have questions about any of these (even if you don’t think they’re yours), please ask. These are not private events because we want to educate as many writers as possible (for free!). So if anything inspires you, please ask. #revpit #10queries

P10 A R Big fan of the first line! And the conflict is right up front, so easy, so instant. Love that. These tropes work together really well, and the first five pages are such an easy read. I could’ve kept going with this one. If the rest is this good, may not need a dev edit. #revpit #10queries
