Somehow, I will get through this weekend—which includes my debut’s launch event at B&N Americana 🥳🔥 (shameless self-promo here, if you’re in LA, come say hi on Sunday!) and brace myself for the inevitable rush drop on Monday when #RevPit winners are announced 🫠

Aaaand that’s a wrap! I did not see my submission show up in any of my chosen editors’ #10queries ! 🫨 #RevPit, you sneaky minx. I had no idea the rollercoaster of suspense I was in for! WHAT DOES THIS MEAN THOUGH 🫨

I'm curious if the authors of these super popular manuscripts will be notified if it was theirs 👀

I keep hearing this too. If your work is too polished, it won’t get chosen. Makes me wonder if these manuscripts that made it onto multiple shortlists or made it to all three editors’ top three are either too good to win or if there’s like a common thread among the editors’ editorial visions.

I’m so curious too esp after Jeni said multiple manuscripts made it onto multiple shortlists 👀

Same, every single one has something that excludes my entry very clearly. I keep trying to see if maybe I’m misunderstanding and it actually is mine but nope!

moodboard layout with 9 squares 3 x 3, 6 have over the top terrified men (the dads), along the top and bottom 3 squares. Blood decal drips from top squares through the middle to the bottom ones. A Victorian mansion silhouette sits in the middle most left square, the title DAD BODIES in the middle, and right of that is the silhouette of a d20 with a skull icon showing.

"Fuck me, Troy."
“That’s a bit inappropriate, Dave, considering the situation.”
Dave averted his gaze from the bloodied corpse of their friend to face him.
“Really, Troy? Now?”
Troy shrugged. “Marv would’ve laughed.” The grin on his face faltered. Marv was lying in a pool of his own blood. The cause of death was clear, the hilt of the murder weapon protruding from his back. Since Marv was stiff as a board—not much different from his current state—they could rule out suicide. Marv was also more inclined to stab others in the back instead of himself.

Purple stained the lips of the girl paled by death. As if she had taken a sumptuous bite of a delectable fruit before drowning.

Being summoned by Vanessa Vine was a privilege most witches would gouge their neighbor’s eye for. Since Brisa received the official summons five days ago, there was no excitement, only the type of anxiety that sows its seeds into the folds of your brain. #1stlinepit #WIP #F #R #H

Pitch: Danake
Blessed be the Rich, for Heaven has been privatized. 
Sixteen-year-old Ollie's fate was sealed the moment he died too broke to afford Heaven. Now, freshly dead and stuck in Hell, he's determined to rewrite it. When he discovers that he possesses reality bending abilities, he allies himself with a silver-tongued revolutionary to start a war and bring down Heaven.
