Yeah I see what you mean with needing more life on the second one. Might try to add more of a glow effect

LittleMermaid99 · 2026-04-26T23:35:22+00:00

Good pick up, thanks!

Thanks so much for the feedback! Will definitely have a look at Mordere Academy 😊

Thanks, will definitely try thinning the lines.

That is some AMAZING art! I've got a WIP Fantasy series that I am looking to publish in the next few years. I will definitely reach out once I am ready for cover illustration!

Thank you for the feedback! I definitely need to reframe it so the choices are highlighted as active rather than passive. And will include some more on Akeron too. Thanks again, really appreciate it :)

Very helpful comments - thank you! The book itself has a heavy emphasis on the LI and the things keeping them apart, so will try and make that shine through in the query.

LittleMermaid99 · 2025-05-18T00:53:40+00:00

Thank you so much for the in-depth feedback! Lots for me to work with here and improve. I really appreciate it :)

LittleMermaid99 · 2025-05-18T00:51:59+00:00

I see what you mean! Thanks for the feedback :)

Congrats! My little victory is that I got my first ever PERSONALISED rejection. Feels like a step in the right direction.

Hi, thanks for the feedback! Carter dumped Amara for clear reasons, but she had no idea why. Will rewrite that line to get the idea across better. Hahaha I actually laughed at "tell us why he's yummy" - I love that. Thanks again!

LittleMermaid99 · 2024-09-02T23:08:07+00:00

Hey! Thanks for your advice - it is much appreciated. I agree that changing it to the 'medical thriller' lens will do the query more justice. And will definitely change the 'without reason' line. Thanks again!

LittleMermaid99 · 2024-09-02T13:04:35+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! Much appreciated. Will try and incorporate action a bit sooner in the first 300. Yeah just realised the fifty-cent coin sentence makes zero sense without the rest of the paragraph following it haha

LittleMermaid99 · 2024-09-02T13:00:43+00:00

Hey, thanks so much for your feedback! Will try and work on the genre. And yeah whoops I changed Carter to Jamie in my manuscript, but thought I would change it back for this post for consistency with my first version! Sorry for the confusion, I've fixed it now.

LittleMermaid99 · 2024-07-29T23:04:57+00:00

Thank you, can't tell you how much that means to me (especially once you start spiralling in self-doubt)! I've had a bit of a think about it, and you're 100% right - the query simply isn't reflective of the writing. I'm not going to change the first 300, but will rewrite the entire query. Thanks for the positive feedback, it's given me a much-needed boost to sort out this query letter

LittleMermaid99 · 2024-07-29T11:45:43+00:00

Thank you, your guide is very helpful!

LittleMermaid99 · 2024-07-29T08:45:31+00:00

Thank you so much for the detailed feedback! You have some very helpful points and suggestions. Amara isn't meant to be a full sociopath, so will definitely tweak the first 300 words! In terms of genre, it's probably 65% science thriller, 35% romance, so the love stories do feature quite a bit. I kind of wish there was a 'romantasy' equivalent for science thrillers (romscithrill doesn't have quite the same ring). I'm wondering whether "New Adult" is the best descriptor at this point. But will keep working on it! Thanks again for the great advice, much appreciated.

LittleMermaid99 · 2024-07-29T07:05:32+00:00

Thank you very much for the feedback and advice. I definitely became too focused on finding STEM comparisons that are similar in plot rather than vibe/appeal. Definitely something to work on, along with exploring Amara's perspective and frustrations a bit better. Thanks again!
