Hi! First of all, TQR was amazing! I'm wondering what your revision process was like before you began querying. Did you have critique partners? Any advice you found particularly helpful?

Hi! Thank you so much :)

So I went through several rounds of edits before I queried TQR. My main focus was to get the story down to a reasonable length, because it was way too long. I did have a few beta readers, but I honestly did not have a dedicated critique partner to help me at this point. Most of my edits were self fueled. The advice I found the most helpful was this: make sure every scene moves the plot along, and to also make sure my book begins at the right place. Because those first 5 pages are so important when you are querying. That’s what an agent is going to look at and decide if they want to request.
