Can you let us know if your winner is one of your #10Queries? Either this one or the upcoming.

natashahanova.bsky.social•3 days ago

I don’t know yet😁 I’m still sorting my subs. So many options!

mnmsplinter.bsky.social•3 days ago

That's fair. 😁 I don't envy any of you at this stage. It must be so hard to choose! All the teasers and 10queries (or 13 ;) sound compelling.

mnmsplinter.bsky.social•3 days ago

You have so many SF subs...and they all sound so interesting.

natashahanova.bsky.social•3 days ago

I know! I'm so glad I put SF on my MSWL this year!!!

mnmsplinter.bsky.social•3 days ago

Lucky you! I want to read all of them now.

natashahanova.bsky.social•3 days ago

Me too! Makes me wish I had access to a T.A.R.D.I.S. so I have time to read them all. 💙

mnmsplinter.bsky.social•3 days ago

Brilliant. Got room for another reader in there? 😅

natashahanova.bsky.social•3 days ago

If you bring you own reading materials. My subs are for my eyes only (and the other editors these authors submitted to🤓)

Here’s the legend I’ll be using:

A – Adult
YA – Young Adult

C – Contemporary
F – Fantasy (+ all sub-genres)
H – Horror
R – Romance (+ all sub-genres)
SF – SciFi (+ all sub-genres)

Q1 - A R For dual POV stories, showcase each MC's goal, motivation + conflict. In Romance, the Love Interests' goals should conflict to ramp up tension + stakes & will force MCs to re-examine GMC. MOST importantly, keep focus on the story & what makes this manuscript stand out. #RevPit #10Queries

P1 - A R Nice job kicking off the story in an emotional place that speaks to the inner conflict that will impact the MC throughout the story. Great job showing what the POV MC wants and what they lack. This hints at opportunities for growth. #RevPit #10Queries

Q2 - A SF Great job revealing the hook in the opening paragraph and getting right into the conflict the MC faces. The stakes, conflict and cost to achieve the goal feels impossible to overcome. Well done! #RevPit #10Queries

P2- A SF The MC is already facing external conflict, but it's unclear how it may be connected to MC's goal (as opposed to other character's goals). Knowing what the MC is already working toward when story opens could make current conflict an obstacle rather than a distraction. #RevPit #10Queries

Q3 - A FR Fun opening line. MC's initial goal is mentioned, but not the BIG story worthy goal the query should focus on. There's no cause → effect connection between the MC's actions/decision and the mentioned conflict, which creates confusion, not curiosity. #RevPit #10Queries
