Crapometer reopens on Dec 15th

Sometime after the 15th, rather

I love reading Miss Snark! Almost makes me wish I had something to sacrifice, uh, I mean send.

It's also best to put on a fake nose and funny glasses when you do it.

I'll enter with an unfinished novel Just to see how good I am in the query department.

Perhaps we need a "hook me in 100 words or less" thread to practice.

Good idea expat. I'm contemplating sacrificing, I mean, sending in a submission. I'm sort of intimidated which makes no sense. I'm a pro at getting rejected.

Hmmmm....

Do I dare to eat a peach?

ETA: I'm gonna go to Share Your Work and open a thread in the query section for us to polish those 100 word hooks.

I saved the page with the instructions... Ooooh! I'm excited!

Judging from the 20 words or less thread, that's a scary prospect.

Ain't that the truth! I doubt I could stand 100 words about yaks, ducks and tuna sandwiches.

Does anyone know which genres she prefers?? I'm curious to see if any of my work fits into that.

She'll critique anything in the crapometer I think. She said she doesn't represent sci-fi or fantasy, but she's addressed those genres.

Thanks for the info, I think I'll pass one of my thrillers between her claws and see if it comes out shredded.

The last Crapometer had quite a few, too.

I was in the last crapometer (#99 plus one) and it was an awesome experience, not only for Miss Snark's comments, but also for the comment trail. If you have something you can send, I'd say go for it.
