Hi 😊
Well, I have to admit I haven’t had time to prioritize my English book lately, which is really stupid I know…. because there really is no reason to not have queries out there at all times. However, I do tend to change my query and then I worry that I have spelled something wrong or done something grammatically stupid since I’m a Norwegian writing English… and worst of all I worry that I might not notice it at all, and that the literary agents are just thinking … what? (Like that cat… 😊).
So, I just wanted to ask if someone wanted to give feedback on my query and the first 10 pages of my manuscript? The book is called Sunflower Land it is a young adult novel with a dark theme.
It could be feedback on spelling or grammar or any other things that you might think are strange ( for example if things can be misunderstood, if it is interesting, do I repeat myself, is it too long… etc … )
I promise that I have no problems being critiqued and I won’t be offended…
So, let me know if this is something you would want to do 😊 and then I could email you the query and the first 10 pages.
I’ll end this post with this beautiful photo that I have no good excuse for including in this post other than the fact that I just thought it was stunning. 😊
If you like the images that have been used to illustrate post, they are all from morguefile.com. All the photos have been edited, but the first photo is by LoriMcConnell, the second photo is by joycecarr7, the third photo is by jadrankamamic and the last photo is by watchthebirdy.

good luck with your book. It might be more productive to develop a professional relationship with an editor.

I agree that would be helpful, but I get the feeling that I probably can’t afford the best editors and then too be honest I am not sure I would trust the others more than I would trust other writers 😊

I do love this post! Feedbacks are really good, doing it like the second pics just doesn’t do it.
I love the photos used! 😊.

do you have a deadline? I know how much it matters. I mean feedback. I’ve heard your songs. And I could have never guessed you were Norwegian.

Thank you, we have a lot of English in school and we tend to watch a lot of English TV-shows/series 😝. No deadline, it is just a query for literary agents 🙂.

I see you already have volunteers. If you don’t have immediate deadline I can help. But I’m no expert.

This is the cutest post I ever read! Good luck for your book, I would love to help you on the overall look of it, did you chose a book cover? I would love to be part of the “artistic” part of your “new baby book” 😍🎨💝
