Christine Kuehn Kelly replied to Helene Dunbar's discussion Ghostlight (revised) - Helene Dunbar in the group First Pages (Crit Group)"Okay, here are my comments on the prologue. I love the story line, and you write well. Overall, however, I feel the prologue (and you've probably read a lot about whether prologues are good ideas or not, especially when sending first 5 pages to…"
Christine Kuehn Kelly replied to Brandi Kosiner's discussion Query Help"Hi,
Sounds like a good story. For the query, however, you are starting with the back story rather than the inciting incident. What is making this story unique? So far I only see her problems--what does she do to resolve them? It's all…"

Jay Eckert replied to Christine Kuehn Kelly's discussion query for HARP-BROKEN/rev 1 in the group Query Kick-Around"Hi Christine -
The premise sounds interesting, but the query is a bit overwhelming. In your second query you tried to summarize things in the opening paragraph, then went right on into the meat of book. I think you went into too much detail,…"

Helene Dunbar said… Hi Chris!
Harp sounds fascinating would love to read some/all.
My first WIP was an urban YA fantasy about Trad playing faeries in NYC. Someday I'll go back and revise the heck out it and try to get it out there but am working on something else at the moment.
I have a great Crit partner too but am looking to add one. Doesn't sound like you're in the market but always happy to exchange chapters and see what happens.
Solas is DEFINITELY still around although they've cycled through a few lead singers in the past few years. ALWAYS happy to share Trad recommendations if you're looking for them. :-)-Helene

Nazarea Andrews said… I'm so sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you! It's been a crazy few days. Anyway, I'd love to exchange some pages and get a feel for each other's work--see if we'd be a good crit fit :) Email me at nazareanandrews@gmail.com and we'll talk more, k? (I promise to respond faster--I'm usually on top of that kind of thing.)
