This week is Jen Daiker week on The QQQE. Okay, no. It's not actually going to last all week, but I will be featuring Jen, and her query, for a few days, and I won't be blogging this Friday (my sister will be in town, yay) so Jen will be making up three out of four posts this week.
It's awesome, I know.
So before we get started, I just want to make sure you all know who she is. I know she's one of the most popular bloggers on the internet, so I realize that the chances that you know me, and don't know her, are very slim, but you never know. Man, that's a lot of knowing.
Jen is the charming young lady and wonderful writer who runs the blog Unedited. Please go there and make sure you're following her. You won't be disappointed.
She and I started blogging around the same time last year, yet she has more than twice the followers I do. That's because Jen is one of the most giving and supportive bloggers out there.
Anyway, she's at the point where she is nearly ready to begin querying her novel. Jen has asked me to feature her query here, on the QQQE, to see if we can't all help her polish it until it shines. I have to say her query is quite good already, but I think we can get it a little bit better.
I'll be sharing her query tomorrow, in its current format. Then on Wednesday I'll be giving Jen some feedback, and asking you all to do the same. For now, just make sure you follow her blog, and let us know if you have any questions.

I'm looking forward to this query! Go, Jen, Go!
Wow Matt! This is the sweetest thing ever! A whole blog post just about me?! Then a whole two extra blog posts for my query! I'm flattered, and also feel a little bad for taking up all this time!
I love the blogosphere and all the amazing people who I meet! You are one that I've been more than happy to know and over the moon to have met before I became a serious writer!
I look forward to your thoughts as well as others are this query awesomeness... let the nerves begin!
Can't wait! Jen is extremely supportive and fun! Yay for Jen Daiker week. :)
Jen's awesome~ this'll be great!
Oooh! I love helping people dig into their queries, so I'm game! It's one of the things I miss most about my regular days over at the Brans forums.
I must do this thing you have where you get other people to take over your blog for you for nearly a week at a time. How very clever.
I went over there and followed--so now I'm looking forward to seeing Jen's query!
lol I'm one who's been following but not her. I've fixed that. Thanks!
Looking forward to reading your query, Jen!
Jen is awesome!
And I see you're also closing in on 600 followers.
Well I was one of those people, but because of your blog I now know of her. Ouch, that hurt my head. Thanks for the low down and I look forward to this. Thanks.
Love Jen! She has so much energy and enthusiasm. Looking forward to it all!
Looking forward to it - and who wouldn't love a week of Jen.

Looking forward to the query! I hope I can learn something. I need to query in the next few months, ugh.
Aw, I love Jen! She's such a sweetie, and like you said, giving and supportive. I have a feeling she's going to be super successful very soon.

Can't wait to read your query, Jen!
Yay Jen! She's so lovely and so suppportive. Can't wait to see her query!
This is great! Love her and can't wait to see the query!
Awesome! I don't think I have much to offer advice-wise on queries (SO not my strong suit) but I bet I'll learn a lot. ;)
ooooh! can't wait :) I can tell by Jen's blog that she's a good writer, so I bet her query is fabulous!
Sounds great!
Sounds like a great week.
ooo... love me some Jen Daiker. I think I've seen her query. I'm sure she's been tinkering w/it, but when I saw it last week I said, "Uhh... write mine now?" :D She's a natural. *heart* you guys~
Looking forward to it!
I love that you focus on queries and that this is a writing-focused journal. I've just started adding the writing element to my book blog.
Thanks for finding me via Elana! Your blog seems really interesting and I'm so glad to have found it through your comment. *follows back*
Off to check out Jen's blog now!
