I think they're important for building the feel of the worlds you create, but also giving your reader a feel for the type of writer you are. As an agent reading this, I'd already be getting the sense from your turns of phrase that you'd fit with a more literary imprint. As an editor, I'd be thinking that this story was going to be as much about beautiful writing as about events. I'd also be thinking that your world is likely to work, because fantasy worlds like this need to be backed up by beautiful writing if they're to seem realistic instead of ridiculous.<br /><br />Thanks for sharing another of your awesomely written queries!Rachel Starkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12888199803208394249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-109691713815569335.post-10755311040482704462010-03-24T11:25:34.829-07:002010-03-24T11:25:34.829-07:00wow, what a fun query.
