Hello, the YA board

[Mr Moe]

I'm a first time poster, long time browser. Recently realized my finished 80K novel was YA. I didn't set out to write YA, but such was the nature of the beast--it chronicles a 10 year MFM love triangle between three rural children. Geez, that sounds dull. Sigh, pitch teaser, I choose you:

What if the only way to lure your love was offer your ass on a platter to local canine chompers. Would you sacrifice the proverbial pound of flesh? Cujo meets Romeo and Juliet!

See, I'd want to read that, but I'm biased. Time to mail another round of agent queries from my little hole in Texas.

Nice to meet you all.

Sincerely,
Mr. Moe

Nice to meet you, too. :D

Like your Never Ending Story picture. That's my favourite film :D

Hi Mr. Moe! I'm knee deep in query letter hell with ya! Your MS sounds awesome!

[Mr Moe]

Thanks Ugawa! Though truth be told, that turtle always scared the heck out of me as a kid--and right after the sad horse drowned, too--so I'd always fast forward through that part.

I like your nod to Cowboy Bebop. Go, Radical Edward!

What's your book like?

Sincerely,
Mr. Moe

Don't call your stuff boring. I'd read "A Guy Sits in a Chair" it if was a good book.

Nah, that sounds too literary for me, really.

Hi Mr. Moe! Your pitch sounds crazy - I like it!
