@SRaeEvans I don't write YA but happy to look at your query letter if you think it would be helpful

I’m not getting any agent requests for my YA contemporary and I’ve been querying for more than 6 months. Any suggestions to help with query packages? I’ve already hired an editor and made heavy revisions, so I don’t think it’s the story. I’d like to think it’s not my writing 🫠

@ninamanninguk Absolutely

@LauraPAuthor I loved it - yes had moments of ‘oh my god’ but bloody hell she got everything spot on and it was sad and funny and pure and raw

#HalfHisAge made me horribly uncomfortable, which is a sign of how well it’s written. Waldo is seventeen and full of need. She lives with her mother, who is barely around, and she endlessly buys cheap crap online in an unsuccessful attempt to fill the void inside her.

@SueWallman I loved the ending!

@LauraPAuthor Me too, Laura. It was a mesmerising read with truly authentic characters. I liked the ending

Hall is excellent on character and plotting and subverting your presumptions. I loved her last novel #OneoftheGoodGuys and I loved this one equally. @panmacmillan

a live-in secretary for novelist Ambrose Glencourt. The rest is set ten years later, when Hope and police officer Nat are trying desperately to unravel the truth of what happened that summer. Is it Hope’s account, or the one Glencourt has published to great acclaim?

Well, it turns out I learned nothing from Gone Girl because I still find it really hard to distrust or even question a character’s diary. The first part of @AramintaHall’s brilliant #UnreliableNarrator is Hope’s diary, kept during the summer she was twenty-three and worked as…

The two central characters here are Marilyn Monroe in 1960s America and Flora in 2010s Hull. They’re linked by the fact that they’ve both been visited by the Virgin Mary, and by something else that’s revealed as the story unfolds. It’s tender, frank, and beautiful.

The brilliant @LouiseWriter is a great one for a quirky premise, and I think #Wonderful might be her quirkiest yet. As always, though, the whimsical is nailed down with real, down-to-earth characters, and the combination is intoxicating.
