I entered the contest with my genre/drug of choice, urban
fantasy. But I am conflicted. From what I read, agents don’t want adult urban
fantasy/magical realism/paranormal/contemporary fantasy. The genre is slipping
out of favor.
*shocked face*
The only genre I read consistently - epic fantasy is a close
second - becoming like so much doggie doo doo? This is a bit hard to believe.
*gritting my teeth and snarling*
And my logline:
No one tells Shamira how to live her life. Not her friends and family after they deserted her. Or the ancient relic that would make her its newest acolyte.
I’d love any comments or crits.

Oh, no! I'm horrified that Adult UF is falling out of favor! It must be a lie! How will I survive if they stop putting out good UF?! Not to mention, it's what I write... Ack!
but...but...but...my WIP is a paranormal mystery
Add some werewolves and vampires. They're sure to snap it up. :P
Sucks to be us.
I emailed my twitter pitch yesterday morning to
beccoff@nwmo.net
and I just got a notification that email is being delayed?
Is there some other way i can get my pitch to you?
Thanks,

Thanks!! I just sent it to you again:)
This sentence is worded a little strangely in my opinion. Not her friends and family after they deserted her. Perhaps try: Not the friends and family who deserted her.
My suggestion:
No one tells Shamira how to live her life. Not her friends and family who deserted her. Or the ancient relic that wants to make her its newest acolyte.
Sounds awesome and I would ask to read it if given the chance!
Oh the trends the trends! Publishing is rife with them. All you adult urban fantasy writers need to shift gears and start writing mermaid stories pronto!
*whine*
But I don't know any mermaids. Know plenty of dragons tho.
-Michael, you absolutely crack me up-
*face palm*
Ditto the above reply. Are you two related? LOL
Anyway, thank you, thank you. Now I must go bang my head against the wall for a few minutes.
good call.
