Query Critique #1 from Agent Suzie Townsend of Nancy Coffey Literary

Win a query critique from Suzie Townsend!

If you're not familiar with uber-agent Suzie Townsend, here's a little bit about her and her book tastes:



". . . she represents adult and children's fiction. She is actively looking to build her list.


In adult, she's specifically looking for romance (historical and paranormal), and fantasy (urban fantasy, science fiction, steampunk, epic fantasy). In Childrens' she loves YA (all subgenres) and is dying to find great Middle Grade projects (especially something akin to the recent movie SUPER 8). She's an active member of AAR, RWA, and SCBWI.

. . . She’s interested in strong characters and voice driven stories: she’s particularly keen on strong female protagonists, complex plot lines with underlying political, moral, or philosophical issues, and stories which break out of the typical tropes of their genre. Some of her favorites are When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead, How I Live Now by Meg Rosoff, The Time Traveler’s Wife by Audrey Niffenegger, Anne Bishop’s Black Jewels series, and Jacqueline Carey’s Kushiel series."


Suzie has generously put up FIVE query critiques, which will be posting separately (this post is for one query critique only)--so if you miss out on this one, try again on one of the others! This item will close on May 9, 2012, at 11:00 PM EST. Any bids placed after that time stamp will not be honored. Once the auction closes and payment from the highest bidder is confirmed, instructions on how to send your pages to Suzie will be emailed to the winner. Since the files will be submitted electronically, this item is open internationally.
