Looking for CP for Query Package (Adult Contemporary Fantasy; romantic subplot)

[Bridget R]

Hi!

I've been querying my manuscript for a couple of months, and have had some manuscript requests, but not as many as I'd like. I'm hoping to find someone familiar with the traditional publishing side of things (no offense meant to the self-publishing crowd!) who also reads in the fantasy/urban fantasy/romantasy genres, and who may be able to lend some insight into what is or isn't working. A few comp authors include Ilona Andrews, Benedict Jacka, Holly Black, and Naomi Novik.

I'd love to exchange query packages (query, 1st 10-50pgs, synopsis) or if you aren't yet to the querying phase, I'm likewise happy to look at your manuscript. I lean toward the more editorial side when I provide critiques, with an eye toward the trad pub market.

If interested, feel free to send me a message! The blurb from my query is pasted below.

Warm regards,

Bridget

BLURB :

Former Olympic archer and office workaholic Kellyn Rourke is turning into a vampire, but with all of the downsides and none of the perks. Sun-sickness from hell? Check. Supernatural strength and speed? Not so much. Worse, when Kell fought off the guy that derailed her comeback tournament by chomping on her jugular, she unknowingly killed an undead general. Now his political syndicate wants revenge, and the promotion that comes with her bloody demise.

But an ancient king's secret organization of peacekeeping vampires is watching. They have sworn to counter the syndicate, and when they offer protection, Kell accepts. With no prior knowledge of the supernatural world, she needs a crash course in Vampire 101 and someone to watch her back if she's going to hold down her day job—and her lunch—much less train for her next archery competition. It also doesn't hurt that the head of her security detail, knight commander Roy MacGregor, is a quiet kind of handsome.

Except Roy's team is already stretched thin in their struggle against the syndicate, who want to dismantle their organization and kill their king, and the precision of each new attack suggests the enemy has eyes on the inside. With Kell's lackluster vampire abilities, she'll need every skill honed on the archery field to defend herself while rooting out the spy. And if she breaks her human cover, more than her career is at stake. Because Kell has learned that her irregular transformation means she'll develop extra powers in another hundred years. Growth is slow when you've got all of eternity. If the syndicate finds out, they'll threaten whoever they can to coerce Kell onto their side—or redouble their efforts to kill her, before she can choose to give up the human life she's built and swear an oath to the king's cause.
