I got an agent rejection because my word count was too high. It currently stands at 61K but for MG the typical range is 30-50K. I don’t think it’s too much over the limit, but should I rework to fit in the typical range? 🤔

Querying is a numbers game. You need an agent who loves your work so much they will read it countless times and to find that person takes time. The more you send, the better your chances. Small batches didn’t work for me I needed to machine gun spray my queries. Keep sending. Don’t quit. Your yes is out there
Totally dropped the ball on #UnhingedPit, but as a thank you for 400 followers, here’s what I would have posted….
My book as dumb poptart flavors.

After revising my query letter, I sent out five queries today! Already got one rejection back, but I’m choosing to focus on how she said it was a textbook example of a query 😊
Hi everyone! Apologies while I was MIA for a while. Was adjusting to some new life changes, but I'm back and determined to jump headfirst into the query trenches again!
...or maybe self-publishing is the way to go at this point 😅

All her life, Maggie Sanchez has felt invisible. The real world doesn’t want her, and the magic other world she discovers on the subway doesn’t either. But maybe if she saves them from the big bad evil star demon guys, they might? maybe? hopefully? please???

If TWISTER had a major hurricane and sweltering scenes that have nothing to do with the outdoor temperature.
