Evil Editor has sent out the following request for queries:


Evil Editor is running low on query letters. If your query isn't getting results, run it by EE and his minions. Not only do you get a critique, readers get to play Guess the Plot with your title. Visit EvilEditor.net.

EE's comments to the query letters are very helpful and the feedback from the minions is generally pretty good too. Anyone who has a query letter they are ready to shop around or they have been shopping but hasn't been getting hits should take advantage of EE's services.

That's a coincidence. I've been thinking about proposing that HRWW allow posting of query letters, but I worried that many would be nervous about revealing too much about their stories to the public. I hadn't heard about evileditor.net, but I have a character in a YA novel who is called "Evil Editor" by another character.

Um, you can post queries here, WouldBe. Just go to the F&F area and put "Query" at the beginning of your post's title. However, Evil Editor is a real editor. His advice is invaluable, if you can take the humor that's included in his advice. You might want to spiffy your query letter up here before putting it up there, but I do recommend the Evil Editor experience for anyone having trouble with their query letters not getting them published.
