@QueryShark Your stellar input on my query for #LovelyRita was transformative. I now have an agent @WordJourneys & my revised query made it into his pitch to top pub houses. We got 5 full requests in ONE day! THX for taking those brutal chomps 🙃

Revising is not the time to be an over achiever! Revisions need a lot of lying around, doing "nothing" (thinking, dreaming, letting your lizard brain out for a stroll) time. #querytip

One of the major problems in pages with a query is the story starting in the wrong place, most often too early. Where does the story start? If you use the "stranger arrives" motif, the story does not start

Too much detail in a query is like too much perfume.
