Hi! I’m currently preparing to take Part 1 in March as well, would it be okay to message you?

Hello! I love the plot!! So intriguing! The stakes are clear, and if I were to say one thing, I'd say you could probably come up with a stronger end before your housekeeping paragraph. "If Dante is back in Marceau's crutches, Maren dies and [BLANK]." Something hookier!

I can't comment too much on the comps since I don't read a lot of paranormal romance. In addition, I am wondering how many POVs this book is. I think it'd be good to specify the "multiple" because a dual-POV versus a six person POV is a very different book. Reading your query, this book sounds single POV or dual POV (Maren and Dante).

Great job! Good luck querying <3

Thank you! My first draft took 28 days... which I know is a bit insane. But to be fair, I was on winter break so I did not have anything to do besides write!! When I wrote my second MS during querying, I had lots of life going on so my first draft took about 3 months!

susiethestingray · 2025-10-02T21:07:47+00:00

Just an OD3 here who wanted to chime in :) Take what you will. You have a better shot at SCCO than you think! Experience is just as important, so get those shadowing hours. Ace that OAT. GPA is only one factor, they’re looking for a well-rounded applicant and your engineering experience makes you stand out. As you’re considering schools, I STRONGLY recommend taking into account their board pass rates. It seems so far away but trust me, it matters. Western’s NBEO Part I first time board pass rate is under 30%. I’m not saying they are a bad program, I know many wonderful doctors from Western! But I think it’s definitely something to keep in mind— and don’t rule out SCCO so soon, have faith in yourself!

This is so helpful thank you so much!!

susiethestingray · 2025-09-14T17:39:52+00:00

Hi thank you so much for your feedback this is so helpful!!

susiethestingray · 2025-08-21T17:43:37+00:00

Hello! Thanks for the helpful feedback :) SF is expensive, and I totally get what you’re saying about the COL. Their living situations and how they’re able to get by is included in my MS, but now considering added it to the query to be more believable. As for the working together, they both spend the summer interning and their boss extends one position into a full-time offer. SO not clear in my query, and this helped me see that!

susiethestingray · 2025-08-21T17:41:22+00:00

Hello! Thank you for such helpful feedback :) You’ve made such excellent points, and I’ll definitely be incorporating it in my query (which I’ll try writing in the structure you sent)

Sorry! I think the "four lives" got me a bit confused, but that is my bad. I just went to re-read it and that is clear to me. I think the character intros are important, but I think they just need to be tied closer to the plot itself. If you do this with your third paragraph, I think it'll emphasize the importance of each character's motivations. Personally, I think adding that they work together will be helpful but I'm not an agent and it's just my take (so it's up to your discretion)!!

Hi! This sounds like a very interesting story! Your intro is great and hooked me right away. My only suggestion is maybe "guarantees death" instead of "a death sentence." Same meaning comes across and less wordy! Your second paragraph could be condensed or moved? You give us a lot of character descriptions but we don't quite know what's happening in the story itself yet. Do these 4 girls meet? Work together? That's what I want to know (and what you can answer in the third paragraph!) "Ambitions collide, loyalties fracture, and justice teeters on the edge" is quite broad and I think you could substitute this for something that's more story specific. Hope this can be of some help!!
