Congrats! This sounds so good!

I can finally shout about how wonderful this year’s #RevPit submissions were! I had SO much fun as a first reader and there were more than a few entries where I was disappointed I couldn’t read the rest of the book. Can’t wait to see everyone’s books in the store one day!!!

Let’s talk about #CampRevPit! 🏕️

Camp RevPit came out of the 2020 Annual Contest when everyone's mental health was seriously suffering, and a big conversation happened about what would help writers cope with the feelings of rejection after the winners were announced.

Good Material by Dolly Alderton

I would never have gotten my agent or book deal without @joelbrigham.bsky.social and @reviseresub.bsky.social. Joel’s revisions were so succinct and on-point, whoever he chooses this year as his #RevPit winner is a lucky writer!

A List of Publishers and Services That ALL Authors Should AVOID AT ALL COSTS! You’re not going to BELIEVE the dots we’ve connected!!!

#writingcommunity there are a lot of unscrupulous people out there looking to steal from you, from pirating your work or taking money services you'll never get. Do your due diligence. This article has good tips as well as names of known bad actors. 💙📚✍️

I’m here too!

Good point, open now!

3/3 happy to help where I can, DM me anytime

2/3 even if you don’t partake in the #meettheeditor sessions, read up on the Q&A! So much is relevant advice for querying and revising and general industry/craft knowledge! Same thing goes for #10queries, even for editors you didn’t submit to!

1/3 I hope this doesn’t sound generic, but definitely focus on putting together the best submission pack you can—a QL that has clear stakes, hooky logline, and as strong of a manuscript as you can (strong ≠perfect—my QL and manuscript both got 100x better with @joelbrigham.bsky.social’s suggestions)

Can confirm @joelbrigham.bsky.social really is fantastic! He LOVES sports so if you have a story in that realm definitely submit to him! Otherwise you’ll prbly get the most bang for your buck on time focusing on query and logline (tho full disclosure I edited my manuscript up to the last minute 😂)

✨Last, Current, Next Reads✨
(I clearly like to multi-task)

⏮️Last: This Place is Still Beautiful, A Song to Drown Rivers
▶️Current: Homeseeking, London Calling, Pole Position
⏭️Next: The No-Girlfriend Rule, Babylonia
