Re: Prologue Blood of Idhun

Revision The cloaked figure moved through the twilight paths of Liberty Park, just another shadow, blending among the gloom of early evening. With little effort, he slipped unnoticed by the addicts and dealers skulking along the walks. Barong felt at ease here, no one ever noticed him, too absorbed ...

Re: Query "Blood of Ihdun' YA Urban Fantasy

How does this query sound instead? Dear Agent, Seventeen year old Kat is haunted by dreams of people she's never met. Well maybe "people" isn't the right word, a small boy with wings, psychotic goblins and a drop dead, gorgeous elven prince! BLOOD OF IHDUN is a Young Adult/Urban Fantasy. I...

Re: Query: VALENTINE

rainbow, if the sister is a major player in the book, maybe up the stakes as to her part. eg. Nineteen year-old Adam owes his sister. Big time. The five year-old saved his life when she found him lying in a pool of blood after he tried to commit suicide. He swore he'd make it up to her! Something li...

Re: New Manuscript - What do you think of this style?

Blanche, not all 14 and 15 year olds are such. my 14 year old son is actually quite innocent. I suppose we have tried to keep him rather protected from some of the harsher realities of the world.(he believed that you couldn't have children unless you were married until my daycare girl informed him o...

Re: New Manuscript - What do you think of this style?

Hi Blanche, I'm not a pro or anything, my novel hasn't published yet, but I have read a lot. :) The premise sounds good but I found the story rather confusing. You need more details, it seemed rather rushed and there are a few grammar mistakes. (nothing stops the flow of a story for me like grammar ...

Re: MG Novel Query

The revised query sounds good to me, I have a nine year old and I think she'll like it. :)
maybe instead of tea you could put in time to do her homework or some such thing.
keep up the good work!
