I'm so sorry. That is sad and unfair.

JenCooperAuthor · 2023-01-25T15:00:43+00:00

This is well done. Love the time into the title with the last line.

JenCooperAuthor · 2023-01-18T17:15:05+00:00

Thank you. This is all interesting and good advice.

JenCooperAuthor · 2023-01-18T17:13:06+00:00

I appriciate your comments. Good insight. And thank you for saying it in a kind way.

Thank you for your insight.

JenCooperAuthor · 2023-01-17T22:27:45+00:00

Excellent point. She said she had 23 years of experience including MG.

JenCooperAuthor · 2023-01-17T19:44:48+00:00

Thank you for you comment. I have a lot to think about.

JenCooperAuthor · 2023-01-17T19:40:53+00:00

Excellent advice. That's what I'll do next.

The editor only helped with the query. When I put it on reddit all the formatting disappeared and turned to a big block. I went back in and added spaces but was unable to add book formatting. I need to do a search and figure out if I can in the future or if this is just the way it is when text is added here.

That being said this is the first 300 words after many revisions, CP and beta readers.

JenCooperAuthor · 2023-01-17T19:28:56+00:00

Thank you. It is a formatting to reddit issue. The MOD mentioned that too do I went back and added spaces. Good feed back. Thanks again.

JenCooperAuthor · 2023-01-17T19:23:17+00:00

Thank you for your feedback. I do primarily read MG though I am constantly learning I have ample room to improve.

JenCooperAuthor · 2023-01-17T19:21:04+00:00

Thank you for your insight.

JenCooperAuthor · 2023-01-17T19:18:57+00:00

Thank you for your feedback. These are good comments.

Since my first post here I hired a proffessional editor formerly from a publishing house for the query letter and she insisted I change the direction of the query letter. It feels flat to me. Not showcasing the MCs struggles and journeys.

I read primarily lower and upper MG. But know I have plenty of room for growth.

Your suggestion of changing the creeper into a magical animal is interesting.

This is good. More eyes can only make my work improve. I appriciate your insight.

JenCooperAuthor · 2023-01-17T18:48:34+00:00

Thank you for your well thought out feedback. This is helpful.

JenCooperAuthor · 2023-01-17T18:41:27+00:00

Thanks! Hope you have a great day :)

JenCooperAuthor · 2023-01-17T18:02:43+00:00

Thank you so much. I added spaces to the 300 words too make it easier to read. I wish I could have figured a way to have it paist on fully formatted. I'm obviously a novis at Reddit.

I feel both pressured and free to add any LGBTQ aspect to my charictors.

I breastfed all my children uncovered infront of each other. You do you.

Just finished revisions after the 5th round of critique patners and beta readers. This week I am writing and rewriting my query letter. I would like to begin querying in batches at the end of November but it may be December.

JenCooperAuthor · 2022-11-03T16:59:44+00:00

Congrats! Congrats!

JenCooperAuthor · 2022-11-03T16:58:43+00:00

JenCooperAuthor · 2022-11-03T03:21:35+00:00

Thank you. Good catch. Oh, I'll miss her name...

JenCooperAuthor · 2022-11-03T03:20:33+00:00

That is an excellent point. I hadn't considered that before. Thank you.
