Roja Rhys (she/her) @rojarhys.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Yeah - fast is good in some ways but also hurts. Good luck! 010
Roja Rhys (she/her) @rojarhys.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Yes, there seems to be much more cross-genre interest. 13 at the moment. I polished up my query again before sending out the last one, as I'd had a handful of form rejections. 110
Roja Rhys (she/her) @rojarhys.bsky.social · 07/10/2026You are so right. It's a historical fantasy romance about a secret lesbian lieutenant and an Indian scholar trying to tame a rogue magical ship. 120
Roja Rhys (she/her) @rojarhys.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I sent one traditional query tonight just to get back on the horse, as you say. Good luck! 040
Roja Rhys (she/her) @rojarhys.bsky.social · 06/10/2026I hope so, but it feels slower than a snail right now. Good luck! 010
Roja Rhys (she/her) @rojarhys.bsky.social · 06/10/2026My one #DVPit like is now a form rejection. Back to basics, I guess. #AmQuerying 6250

Roja Rhys (she/her) @rojarhys.bsky.social · 29/09/2026#DVParty Working on some writing for TV and audio formats at the moment. But I am tempted to dust off one of my old queried-out novels from ten years ago and give it another revision. 050

Roja Rhys (she/her) @rojarhys.bsky.social · 26/09/2026#DVParty HER LADY SHIP MCs: Lieutenant Lord Henry Tudur - Secret lesbian. Stole her twin brother's life. Fighting self-doubt. Mrs Ann Ashley - Desi scholar. Admiral's wife (it's a long story). Plagued by indecision HMS Godiva - Royal Navy ship. Definitely just a ship. Nothing to see here. 👀 070
Roja Rhys (she/her) @rojarhys.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I accidentally renamed it just before querying and I love this title so much more, so glad you like it. And thank you! ❤️ 010

Roja Rhys (she/her) @rojarhys.bsky.social · 24/09/2026#AmQuerying I love adding new comments on QueryTracker and seeing the same author and MS just ahead of me. I wish both of our sapphic historical fantasies go far, babe. 010
Roja Rhys (she/her) @rojarhys.bsky.social · 23/09/2026#AmQuerying and it is so much slower than when I was last in the query trenches. But we move. 050
