Yesterday was my queryversary…one month since I sent my first queries. I’ve sent more since then, but I’ve had enough rejections already to fall off my initial I’m-subbing! high.
On her blog today Kristin Nelson gave a brief list of what children’s editors are looking for right now. This was the very first thing she listed:
“Looking for contemporary stories with a paranormal element. Contemporary main story with just a touch of paranormal.”
NOTICE ME!!! NO-TICE MEEEEEEEE!!!

Maybe if we hold hand while jumping up and down and screaming, they will see us better, YES??

LOL! She rejected me in no time and my query states, “In a contemporary setting…blah, blah, paranormal…blah…blah.”
I never ever read agents lists anymore. I also don’t read about how so and so got their agent after ten queries! Blech. Don’t need the added stress of trying to keep up.

That’s a good strategy…I may have to try it. Stick my head firmly in the sand. *sigh*
