  3. This is the author of Lifeweaver (entry #16). I just wanted to thank everyone who commented on my query, both for being so postive and for giving me valuable insight on how to improve it (even if you said 'Yes'!) Having dozens of people critique my query over the span of 24 hours has been amazing. To quote the Authoress, you all are the BESTEST.

    And Authoress, I can't thank you enough for hosting this contest, and all the others you have gifted us with. I'm a new reader of your blog, but I can already tell you are truly an angel to aspiring authors. I hope the kindness, encouragement, and opportunity you've given away freely is returned a thousand-fold.
