I’m submitting Regardless to Query Kombat tomorrow and I am nerrrrrvousss!!! Here’s hoping the karma I’ve been getting lately extends itself to my children and I won’t get knocked out the first round of the tournament... 😬
So i officially got axed from Query Kombat’s third round today, which meant my agent post was unlockeD AND I HAD TWO AGENT REQUESTS. I’M GONNA VOMIT.
hey....hey hey...what's QKSlush? (i'm ur fellow clueless writeblr aka atelierwriting)
It’s part of Query Kombat, one of numerous query tournament/competitions that happen online. If you’ve got a full manuscript ready to go, and a polished query to boot, you can send it in today and tomorrow (the 17th of May) to be considered for the tournament. There are 4(?) agent judges that get to pick a certain amount of queries each to go forward. Altogether, those 64 in total go through to fight it out for Glory. If you make it past the first round, you get agent critiques, and can start amassing manuscript requests from agents interested in seeing more of your novel.
A lot of these pitch wars takes place on twitter, so the agents have a couple hashtags for advice. They’ll live critique the submissions as they read through them, which is under #QKSlush (slush for slush pile, which is where your queries go if you’ve sent a publisher/agent an unsolicited submission while if they’re not currently accepting new stuff!)
I know I just said a lot of publishing industry Words at you, so if that still doesn’t make any sense, let me know, and I can break it down. I know the novel query process is a big Mystery to many of us. ;)
...and off she goes! We’ll see how my angry magic daughter does!🙌🏻🎉✍️
i got into Query Kombat and I’m lowkey freaking the fuck out.
I’ve got 4 more days until I find out whether I’ve made it into Query Kombat... 😬 I know for sure I have at least one judge in my corner who has been eating up all my Regardless teasers. We’ll see if it’s enough to push me over the edge...
so i made it through the first round of query kombat. i’m still in shock. i’m revising my materials because they need to be in by 8 AM tomorrow. my brain is literally eating itself.
so round one of query kombat is currently underway and i have scored two out of three votes so far.
