Cannot emphasize enough: what I’m looking for in queries are *stakes*. Why is this happening? What if it goes off the rails? Why care? What’s at risk? Everyone’s queries have themes. Themes alone don’t sell agents, editors, publishers, or the reading public. 1/2

@writerickallden A pass from me means neither necessarily—only that I don’t know of the ideal editor to whom I’d submit your manuscript.

@author_clentz I’m gonna be honest, I don’t really care where you put plot details as long as I can tell you put together a complete story with a beginning, middle, and ending + change + stakes which is satisfying to genre reader expectations. I want to know you can land the plane. Period.

@RandyZabel When I’m reading a query, I’m looking to understand what the main character stands to lose and why and how they’re compelled to move the plot forward. I’m not sure how those stakes shift. But it’s something to make sure the author can identify, amplify, and answer with action.
