Hey guys,
I sent my query letter off last night and today I got a reply from the agent saying that my book isn’t really her type.
But! I’m wondering if it has anything to do with my query? A friend of mine showed me how to write one but i got refused by two agents, hmmm…..
I’m going to paste the first chapter of my query and if you guys could give me an honest opinion and some suggestions, that would make my day! This is my first time and I really need some help :/
Dear Mrs ??????,
May I please send you my novel, The Freak in Me, for your consideration? It’s approximately 55,814 words and it’s an occurring story, telling the story of a seventeen year old girl who believed she was kidnapped but thanks to her trauma her mind had blocked everything. One day a striking young man walks into her life and she quickly falls in love but little does she know, her life is going to get a lot worse and later discovers a hidden dark secret she never knew she had. This novel has a mixture of thriller/drama/comedy and it’s aimed it at the young adult market.
Thank you so much for your time! 🙂

Lets just say, a young guy with autism, is struggling a bit, he has anxiety and depressed, his autism is just apsergers syndrome.
He tried college, had a panic attack for a week.
He now is unsure wether to go back, it’s a course he really wanted to do. His dad tells him that he won’t cope, and that he should do charity work.
His mum tells him jobs are hard to come by and he will be constantly rejected all the time by paid work.
His dad wants him to attend a scheme for people with disabilities.
He phones his mum and dad up and explains to them that he is confused with his life. He wants to go back to college, he feels like a failure, he also wants to do what they don’t want him to do. He feels controlled and manipulated. He doesn’t want to follow their advice.
He has a holiday booked with his father next week, which his dad has already paid for which he would have to cancel and lose the money if he went back to college.
The young man is getting text messages from the college who are concerned he has dropped out, even though the father has phoned up explaining he won’t be coming in anymore.
He young man is worried that he will be controlled more and more and he is desperate to find independance, find his niche in life, and be happy and confident. His parents make this increasingly hard for him, he doesn’t know wether to trust them or not.
Is he being manipulated here. If he is being manipulated, why is he being so? Is this fair, or are their excuses, valid reasons?
What does he do in this situation? What avenue does he take, how does he become confident and happy, what is he doing wrong?
Please answer honestly, and give your opinions.
Thankyo

I’m really thinking about becoming a teacher. I use to think that teachers were under-payed and that was the main reason why I didn’t want to become one in the past. But, as I’ve grown into a young man whose about to graduate this year, I find that teaching may be the perfect niche for me. Of course the pay isn’t that well, but I would have great benefits, all weekends off, no night shifts, all when I am 22 years old (if I graduated college on time). I plan on majoring in Middle Level Education which focuses on grades 4th thru 8th grade and I would prefer teaching either Math or Science since those are my two favorite subjects. I’d just like to know how other teacher felt about their job. Do you enjoy teaching? Share your thoughts or experiences, it’ll be very helpful towards me! Thanks for your time!
