Charlotte Brontë’s query letter for her first book - she got a lot of rejections and one ‘send us your next one.’ The next one was Jane Eyre! #amquerying

📜a brainy rather than brawny #YA heroine
🤔 choosing between two very bad things
💎where magic meets science,
💪🏽siblings go to bat for each other,
💔and we secretly root for the antagonist.
#amquerying
I love this. So many agents now doing their best to give us #amquerying authors a glimpse behind the scenes.
#amquerying authors: agents do their best to provide actionable feedback most times (not all) with their query or full response. A few things about this 🧵

#questpit #ya #f #q To save her brothers, 16y/o blacksmith Kaisi agrees to build a weapon to enhance the magic of the slaves-turned-rebels who killed her father. But when she learns their motives&her people's sordid past,the choice becomes let her brothers die, or doom the world.
ALT Collage of images around the words 'Save her brothers - Doom the world'. Clockwise images are: an antique ledger, a young blacksmith, a torque forged from steel, a young red-haired girl, a hammer hitting a piece of hot steel with sparks flying off, a boy and girl kissing, tongs lying in a forge fire, and a young dark-haired girl.

This is brilliant for all my #amquerying writers out there.
And also: 350 words. 😳 excuse me while I try to cut 50 words...
You know how you've heard a million things you "shouldn't do" in query letters? Well I compiled them into one place and ripped off Kate Hudson and Matthew Mcconaughey while doing it. 👇

We lost a legend today.
With a heavy heart, I tell you that my father, Donald Sutherland, has passed away. I personally think one of the most important actors in the history of film. Never daunted by a role, good, bad or ugly. He loved what he did and did what he loved, and one can never ask for more than that. A life well lived.
