Live Query Critique with Natalie Fischer

**Update**

Natalie has been kind enough to donate a query critique to one lucky winner. To enter, leave a comment on this post by 11:59 pm eastern on April 14th. We’ll draw one winner and announce their name on Friday, April 15th.*

*If your query was part of the event, we won’t restrict you from entering. You might, however, want to consider letting someone win who hasn’t had a chance to get feedback from Natalie. Up to you. We won’t judge either way.

    Thanks for your comment on my query. I’d still love to know if the premise would grab you if I wasn’t an Aussie.

    Count me in, a critique from you would make my whole year! :-)

    My critique was one of the deleted few due to technical problems. I was unable to repost at 12:00 the following day due to a prior engagement. I would love to have my query critiqued. It is posted on the writing boards under YA Query Critiques.

    This was a fantastic event. I am trying to access the transcript so I can link to a blog post and can’t. Maybe it’s not up for some reason yet?

  19. SuzeW on Tuesday 12, 2011

    Awesome! I’ve ogt my wine, it’s 9pm, I’ve just got back to work and I’ve settled in to replay the live chat! Thanks SO much for giving back, all of you. You rock :) Count me in on the query contest!

    I’m so bummed to keep missing these due to conflicting schedules, but I always come back and read through and it’ s been so great getting agents initial responses. But wow! It also makes it seem ever tougher to get requests. Thanks for doing these, ladies!!! :)

    Thank goodness for transcripts because I wasn’t able to go. Really enjoyed reading the show.
