NAME THAT JUDGE #7

This judge was correctly named! Check the comments for the answer. Stay tuned for another opportunity.


Ready for another of our little game of Name that Judge? Let's see if this one goes as quickly. There are 34 Query Kombat judges and are agented or published writers with experience in this business. 

Some have agreed to join me and give away a prize to whoever guesses their nickname. You can find their bios at Mike's blog, SC's blog, and my blog. (No, I'm not providing the links. Where's the fun in that? But look in the May archive.) I will provide the list of judge names. Guessed judges are marked off.

- First connected with her agent through Nightmare on Query Street in 2013.

- Taught Korean martial arts before teaching creative arts at "Hogwarts for Hackers."

- She's been preaching the same sermon all #QueryKombat: Tea > coffee. Writing > query. Solid 3rd POV > Tepid 1st POV.

- Describes grammar in terms of math, even though she doesn't "do" math at all.

- Has nailed entries mercilessly for inapt choice of words, and doesn't mind one bit nagging the author about why it doesn't work. (insert 

First one to correctly name this judge gets a first chapter critique! I'll put a time limit of five days on this, but hopefully we won't need to worry about such things.

Other rules. Let's see...
