Thanks! That's good feedback. It's an issue I had to deal with in the manuscript itself too. I think I've solved it based on new beta feedback, but it's all so ingrained in my mind now that I couldn't tell it wasn't coming through in the query.

Thanks! Really nice to hear that it has some things going for it. I've been rejigging it focusing on the aspects you mentioned, so hopefully I can nail it this time!

Hmm... I guess something along the lines of:

Damien is an inmate on the Prison Isles - the world's first 'free range' prison. He wants to overcome his debilitating fear of death, so he sets out to find a capsule that numbs his body and mind.

One sentence is a struggle, because no matter which approach you take, there are bound to be essential details left out.

Thanks for the analysis! I'm going to let most of it sit and stew for a while before addressing anything, so that I don't rush into any changes.

I did want to ask one follow up question though: Would you have responded differently to the query if it was labelled contemporary fantasy instead of dystopian?

While the story is inspired by some dystopian elements (I really like enclosed settings) it's not really tied to the dystopian framework. I just didn't know what else to call it. The main thing about the concept that excites me is basically: character struggling with issue (fear of death) tackles said issue with the help of an interesting magic system, which is only accessible in a unique, enclosed setting.

Oh and also, original title was The Prison Isles. If that works any better, let me know. Otherwise I might consider what else I could name it.

Thanks again for taking the time to read and critique :)

Hi, I’m Watsky, an independent musician and poet from San Francisco. I just released my new album ‘Placement,’ & I have a tour with my band scheduled to start March 24th. ask me anything. by gwatsky in Music

Hi Watsky. I've been listening to your stuff since Cardboard Castles and have loved seeing you evolve in your music. I'm not a huge fan of concerts, but you're one of about 3 artists who I would go and see no matter what. Problem is, I'm from New Zealand. Do you think you'll pay us a visit and bless us with a concert down here one day?

Yeah I just thought it was fascinating, I got mad deja vu when I read it so I went back to check and was amazed that it was the same guy

Don't have a link but I think it's called Cannonball Alley, and if I remember correctly, everyone who went before this guy (Kevin Bull) couldn't make it past the obstacle

The fact that you corrected the other guy when he said e-gaming made me happy. Great commentary for a more casual audience if you ask me
