After a several month absence, I'm back! Did anything interesting happen in the world?

Just finished line editing chapter 27 of Everloop, almost halfway there! It’s 3 am. I guess I should sleep. #Booksky #Writers #Iamquerying
#Iamquerying So, have finished to my satisfaction a work that does a few new twists on The Tragedy of Pudd'nhead Wilson, now I don't know who I should try to send it to. It is of a quality I feel warrants publication, but is somewhat outside of my usual genres and comfort zones.

The Goddess Mari is a nature goddess & head of the pantheon in Basque mythology. She doesn’t meddle in mortal affairs & brings storms where she goes. The Sorginak are her followers who guard the realms, she hates blood offerings, takes what is denied, spins gold thread, and loves rams. #iamquerying
“Wind scuttled the docked boats, whipping through her thin tunic. She cupped her hands for warmth before recalling her nails were still stained with coal and blood and shoved them in her pockets.” #iamquerying #WioSnips #writesky #writingcommunity #basquemythology #querying #q #a #f #write
An idea that’s been half formed in my brain for years. Would you read this book? #kidlit #writingcommunity #Iamquerying
Now in the stage of querying where I rethink my ENTIRE novel. Good time, good time. 🫠

Had another agent who requested more sample pages after the initial query. Just got the rejection today. They liked my story but have to be really selective. So, a good rejection.
That’s 31 out of 95. 63 more to go!

Such great #revpit #10queries advice for other MG Contemporary writers below from @leahrambadt.bsky.social! MG seems tough right now, so hopefully this is helpful. I've reposted my feedback here as well. [FP/QL8]. :) 😍 #iamquerying
Got a rejection bc high word count, BUT they’re open to review it if lower to industry standard for a debut. Only idk if Adult Fantasy standard is 115k or 120k.😬
120k from 128k is already daunting. I’ve managed to cut 1.5k already. 🫠🫠 #querying #iamquerying #query #querytrenches
Put on your running shoes and dart on over to #seasonsofkidlit for an unbelievable submission opportunity. Time is running out, so head on over - NOW! #iamquerying www.seasonsofkidlit.com/post/trick-o...
If you cannot prevent being underestimated, make sure they regret it.

If I have a great idea for an #ICE themed #horror #movie who should I query? I guess I could write it as a story but I think it should be a movie.

But I don't really know any good agents to approach, also because normally what I would be thinking to write would be Science Fiction / Fantasy genres.
But any suggestions?

How many queries is too many? I’ve sent out 34 in 2 months and have gotten 7 responses/rejections. #iamquerying #querytrenches #querying #writing #query
It is not possible to will literary agents to respond to your query.
I have tried that strategy before.

received a very kind rejection from an agency I was feeling optimistic about.
“This was a hard decision as I enjoyed what I read, but the current market is very difficult for Middle Grade Fantasy”
keeping my chin up as the feedback was positive! one step closer… #iamquerying #booksky
