I can't say this is really my genre, but the idea is intriguing. I'd definitely read a page or two to see if I liked the story.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26791026.post-38755816153544221602007-05-09T09:19:00.000-04:002007-05-09T09:19:00.000-04:00If the tone of the book matched your letter, I'd l...If the tone of the book matched your letter, I'd love to read it.

A spark of humanity. If not, they could easily sound cartoonish and your satire like jealousy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26791026.post-20095135041733545462007-05-08T16:15:00.000-04:002007-05-08T16:15:00.000-04:00This sounds like fun.

(It's reminiscent of The Devil in the Junior League / Lee, which I liked.)<BR/><BR/>I agree with EE's recommendations. Also, if you're short on space, you could cut from the second paragraph the word "sweet" and change the second sentence to "their traditional Wednesday liquid luncheon." But those are itty bitty things in a good query.<BR/><BR/>pulpAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26791026.post-67384126226314511352007-05-08T15:36:00.000-04:002007-05-08T15:36:00.000-04:00Ditto to EE's notes.

I think you are pitching the story you wrote quite well, and it makes me want to take a glance at the writing to see what you've done with the idea. My only negative thought in reading was what EE said about dropping the lines about being poor and it's the least they could do. Seem a bit overstated for the wry humor you have going, and the point has already been made.<BR/><BR/>Tell us how the partial requests go.
