Ooh thanks! That helps a lot. I do write YA but I am working on a New Adult and it would be perfect.

Sage said:

If you sign into the forums, you'll see an area for NA crits.

Thanks!

YAY, they're open! I'm Undercover over there too.
There's a lot of great stuff already.

How do you find out what agents and publishers are attending?

Here ya go.

Is it just me, or do a whole lot of people seem to be querying books about aliens/other planets?

I'm Porshia on there by the way

Disclosure is imminent. Sorry couldn't resist.

Sage said:

Wow, that must have just gone up in the last couple hours.

Yep, they just tweeted it a couple of hours ago.

Well, just signed up to this because of all the positive feedback here. I don't have anything fully complete yet, but it sounds like fun!

You can still post WIP to be critiqued.

I joined
Now I must write a query 0:

Ninja agents are already on the forums. I've seen a couple of comments on queries so far and some lurking.

I joined as well- I'm starrynight56 on there.

Also, how can you tell who the ninjas are? I'm a newbie at this!

I rewrote my query based on some of the crits and posted a revision- are we allowed to do that?

I didn't realize the sub-forums were nested so I assumed they weren't up yet. Going over to check things out. Hope to see you all there!

Their user names are Ninja Agent [Whatever], and you can check the "who's online" feature to see if they're lurking. You'll see more posts cropping up as things go on.

I'm addicted to critting. haha. It's so fun. I did this last year and it was a blast. Didn't get any bites, but it was definitely still fun. It's really cool to see what new writing is out there. Some really great stuff.

This sounds like fun! I'm BekkahSmith over there too. I only have my WIP, but will give it a try.

I'm thinking of joining, even though I only have a couple chapters in my two YA WIP's that are critable. Hmm.

Sage said:

Totally addicted to critting queries, but it's very different there from QLH. I think that's good because you get some different perspectives, but I was the first one to mention questions for a certain query, and that was surprising.

Yeah, definitely a much more polite and cheerleading audience over there. But there's also a lot of quality writing (in my opinion), and some folks have good, insightful points to share. I'd really like to get some feedback from a Ninja this time around.

I have a hard time not going into the lbl and chewing things up. Just force myself to be a little more positive and supporting, since in a sense it's a bunch of strangers

I posted my WIP of which I have only 4 chapters. I think it's okay as long as you don't query the piece.

I'm sorry, what list now Netz? If it's not Undercover than yes, it would be LMCronkhite. Sorry for the mix up. I just created a new user name since I couldn't figure out the old one.
