Just been reading a few posts about agents not reading queries. The assumption for this is based on fast deletion rates on QM. I just wanted to give some context to this because it’s unlikely to be that the agent isn’t reading.

Two hooded figures with lamps approach a moonlit, isolated cottage. A woman answers the door. We have come for the child, says the hooded figure So soon? she asks It is time, says the hooded figure. The woman is distraught. We should never have got him a library card! What is done cannot be undone, says the hooded figure We couldn’t see the harm! We just wanted him to enjoy reading! For most, it ends there, says the hooded figure, turning away and walking into the wilderness Oh lord, What have I done! says the woman, the child walks past her and out into the darkness with them. Do not cry mother. I am a writer now.

A photo of a dramatically lit city street contained within the shoulders-up silhouette of a woman with long hair, split by bars leading to the word SIRENSONG below. Above the picture, the tagline reads "The line between right and wrong is always blurrier behind a mask." To the left, text in laurels reads 113,000 words. To the right, the same laurels read "New-Adult Sci-fi Romance." Below, text reads: "Coming Soon to Query Inboxes."
