Michelle Levy replied to Cate Hart's discussion Query : Bad Company(Revised) in the group Query Kick-Around"I agree with Alisha. I, too, was a bit overwhelmed by all the information. And I love the suggestions she offered, especially because it gets us right to Scarlett. The only suggestion I don't agree with Alisha on is the cutting of…"
Alisha Marie Klapheke replied to Cate Hart's discussion Query : Bad Company(Revised) in the group Query Kick-Around"Hi Cate! Your query is strong and clear and full of originality. It's just a lot to swallow. I'm going to trim some bits and you can do with that as you like. By the way, I may be a little confused on the plot--I read your ms in pieces so…"

Eliza Tilton replied to Cate Hart's discussion Query : Bad Company in the group Query Kick-Around"I got hung up on the first line, but only because I couldn't rationalize how a seventeen-year-old becomes a secret agent or the president-maybe add in a quick bit on why he's able to do that in the next line.
You have a lot of great…"
Melissa Shaw-Smith replied to Cate Hart's discussion Query : Bad Company in the group Query Kick-Around"Hey Cate:
Like the setting for this novel. Sounds like it's going to be a good read.
I got hung up on a few things that either need more explaining, or could be eliminated all together. Here's my take on how you could go about…"

Cate Hart replied to Cate Hart's discussion BROKEN synopsis in the group Synopsis Repair Shop"Thanks everyone.

"Cate, sorry my overall observation got cut off. You did really well on this for your first post. Just a little tightening is all you need. It rocks!"
Stephanie Wardrop replied to Cate Hart's discussion BROKEN synopsis in the group Synopsis Repair Shop"I think I'm with everyone else here and I envy your synopsis skills, believe me. I think this is quite clear and conveys what happens and what's at stake and all of that, but I think everyone has a point about the first…"
StaffLM Preston replied to Cate Hart's discussion BROKEN synopsis in the group Synopsis Repair Shop
"P1: Stick with main plot at least in the first paragraph. Is she delving into mom’s past or interested more in the boy with the secret? A stronger hook also is needed here to tie into next paragraph. Why would an ‘encounter’…"

- Thanks Georgia. I wasn't sure if I had posted before or after you announced you were caught up with commenting on queries. And then you had a little message for me and Paul, and I was like 'huh'? do I need to tweak again, remove this one and then repost. I think I got it now :)
