ALT A mock query rejection email with a pearl bead background: Text: Dear Sara, Thank you for wasting my time with your query for THE PIRATE, THE PRINCESS, AND JOHN. For future reference, please note that I'm only open to multi-POV YA fantasy where the sapphic childhood-besties-turned-lovers don't get a happily-ever-after. Side note: A scorned ghost pirate trapped inside the head of a closeted princess until they both learn to help each other come out? How original.

ALT A mock query rejection email with a gold coin background. Text: Sara, Thank you for considering me for the most torturously feel-good, insufferably hopeful-even-in-its-bleakest-moments novel I've ever had the displeasure of reading. I suggest you jump ship on writing and take on a more practical hobby like swashbuckling, rum drinking, or breaking the curse that has me stuck inside the head of this whiny princess (thanks for that, by the way).

ALT A mock query rejection email with an ocean wave background. Text: Hi Sara, Thank you so much for your query for THE PIRATE, THE PRINCESS, AND JOHN. While I truly admired the 82,000 word count, non-Western fantasy setting, and LGBTQ+ representation, unfortunately, I will have to pass. I would, however, like to offer a minor suggestion to change the title to THE PIRATE, THE PRINCESS, AND JOHANNA, as I believe this better reflects the titular character's gender identity.

ALT A mock query rejection email with a bloody background. Text: Ms. Duran, The empire has scrupulously reviewed your query for THE PIRATE, THE PRINCESS, AND JOHN, and has found that beneath the lighthearted, adventurous story of queer joy and acceptance is a truly blasphemous critique of the colonization of the Global South. We will be passing, but please do keep us in mind for any future projects featuring white, male, cis-het protagonists, preferably in settings inspired by medieval Europe.
