Just to clarify, this is a GIVEAWAY. Repost for a free query critique! Or, repost to let others know about it even if you're not interested. So far, no takers. And I don't know if it's due to lack of interest or because no one has seen the post.
Happy New Year! If you're planning to send your work out & would like some eyes on your query, please repost this message! I'm a published author and developmental editor and would love to help before we go back to school next week! #MG #YA #writing

On Election Day, Biden will be 29,936 days old.

Trump will be 28,634 days old.

Biden will be ~4% older than Trump.

Is Biden at least 4% more honest?
4% more intelligent?
4% more experienced?
4% more stable?
4% more qualified to be president?

Many, many times that, folks.

Dozens of Arab and Muslim leaders met in Riyadh to discuss the plight of Palestinians in Gaza. None of them agreed to open their borders and accept Palestinian refugees.
