[Hope Bolinger- WHY THE SPARROW CRIES OUT NOW @HopeBolinger]

FULL REQUEST FROM A DREAM PUBLISHER!!! 🎉 🎉

[Wainani @Wainani6]

@karenjoe93 Me too! Except eating and drinking wine.

[Wainani @Wainani6]

@TiannaClore Aww these are so hard! But you've learned two really useful things:
1) your query is working (that's a HUGE win)
2) the pages might need another look
I had a similar response – it helped me stop fiddling with the query to focus on the pages, which was a turning point. Good luck!

[Wainani @Wainani6]

@LorraineAmbers I think @Janet_Reid said if you start just moving commas around, you're probably done. That really stuck with me!

So excited to announce that I'm now represented by @jennadol of The Unter Agency! And massive thanks to #PitDark for bringing us together. It's a step closer to seeing my YA thriller out in the world, and I couldn't be happier. 😊

[Wainani @Wainani6]

@Laura_E_Foley I've seen it done well where the name of the POV is in the chapter title. Unwind by Neal Shusterman comes to mind if you want to read something that uses this... there's more than 2 POV but seems to work well. 😊
