Well, if this sounds like you, or if you're simply in the mood for some honest query feedback, then let me point you in the right direction.
My agent, Super-Suzie, is having a contest to celebrate settling in at Nancy Coffey.
Here are the details:
Can you handle the truth?
Many writers want to know what an agent is really thinking when they pass on a query, right? You want the truth...but can you handle the truth? Well next week I will respond to the queries I receive in complete honesty. You may see something as simple as "Not bad, but just not for me." or "I don't represent legal thrillers." OR you may see something like "I stopped reading when you mentioned that the mailman was a vampire space zombie who has come to deliver a message of PAIN. Because come on...seriously?"
The rules and whatnot are on Suzie's Confessions blog, so if you want to participate, pop on over there and find out what you need to do.
This is only valid for one short hour on Tuesday, so make sure you've got everything ready to go when the window opens.
Good luck!

Ha. I'm not sure I can HANDLE the truth! ;)
This sounds pretty cool. Thanks for posting it.
It's a VERY generous offer. But for what it's worth, those of us with day jobs who can't access personal email during business hours are locked out.
Sorry to complain. I just wanted to point it out.
What a fabulous contest--I've been on hiatus and might have missed it if you hadn't posted it. You've definitely got a super-star agent!
We are so entering this contest. Thanks to your query, we've already got bites, but it never hurts to get more feedback :) That and everyone knows how much Suzie rocks!
