Hi, happy #RevPit week. For me, the first readers play a huge role in helping me do my first pass through my spreadsheet. Each sub basically gets scores, and since the contest is a dev edit, I look for certain scores for books I’m considering choosing as a winner. 1/2

Agents have so many things on their desk to wade through that aren’t queries. Assuming an agent is on top of their queue on a week may be overestimating a bit. Of course there are exceptions, but I would not give up so easily! Good luck!

Hi #WritingCommunity! Welcome to my #RevPit #MeetTheEditor thread. Feel free to ask questions at any time (if I don't get to them today, I will tomorrow). I had a computer incident earlier (OneDrive deleted my Documents & it took my hubby hours to fix), so I lost my prep time & this may be choppy.

Hello, Authors, and welcome to my favorite season of the year – #RevPit Season!
Spring (in the Northern Hemisphere) is, IMHO, the best of all seasons, especially after the winter we’ve endured in Minnesota.
And the RevPit 2025 Annual Contest is Spring’s highlight.

Woods Book 1 in the Sea of Sorrows Duology Romantic Pirate Fantasy Over a background with a pink octopus and curling tentacles in dark blue water. The four backgrounds of each picture come together to show one image. To the left in white text: Pitch When Minna is offered a place weaving the winds—and protecting the ship from monsters—on one of the largest ships in the Fleet, it comes with a catch: her betrothal to the Deckmistress’ son. Bullied by her mother, Minna takes the deal, surprised to find that her betrothed and her new Deckmistress are actually quite tolerable. But when they capture one of the monsters terrorizing the Sea of Sorrows, Minna is forced into the role of jailer while they interrogate the monster, trying to force her to give up the location of the monsters’ lair. But as Minna’s monstrous prisoner proves herself to be surprisingly human, Minna becomes intent on saving her from her inevitable execution, going against her Deckmistress, her betrothed, and the entire crew. But the other monsters are drawn to their own. And they are coming.

Thick veins of black ran underneath the dark skin, branching out and away from the missing chunk of flesh in the dead man’s shoulder. “Fucking seas,” Minna muttered. “Washing in or out, do you figure?” Her father grunted, reaching down to pluck at the torn and bloody pants, dislodging them from the rock keeping the body anchored to the shoreline. The next wave rushed in to claim its prize, sucking the body back down the beach as it withdrew. “I suppose we’ll see.” Her father shielded his eyes with a hand, silver hairs shining in the sun as he squinted inland. “Body can’t be too old. Tide would have taken it.”

On a background of a foggy coniferous forest. The background of the four images fit together to show a stream with rocks working its way between two hills in the forest, both covered with trees. In white text: An Editor’s Guide To The Land of Undying Summer by Ivy T. Woods Adult Romantic Fantasy 108,000 words On a background of a foggy coniferous forest. The background of the four images fit together to show a stream with rocks working its way between two hills in the forest, both covered with trees. On the left side of the picture is an ink drawn map of a continent. In white text: Pitch When a half-dead priestess is forced to work with a wandering mage to figure out why mages are dwindling among her people, they develop a reluctant camaraderie. But when he kills a guard, her people’s distrust escalates into a full-scale uprising, leaving the two loners to save the living, the dead, and each other. Though not necessarily in that order. On a background of a foggy coniferous forest. The background of the four images fit together to show a stream with rocks working its way between two hills in the forest, both covered with trees. In white text: Comps The atmosphere and vibes of: - The Gilded Crown by Marianne Gordon - Blood Over Bright Haven by M. L. Wang The Humour Of: - Nettle & Bone by T. Kingfisher On a background of a foggy coniferous forest. The background of the four images fit together to show a stream with rocks working its way between two hills in the forest, both covered with trees. In white text Chapter One - The End of Darkness No Guide could resist the Call of Return forever. But this time, when Tilaani’s trembling hands closed on the spiked rocks of the Wolf’s Fangs, the agonizing need for the missing part of herself had dulled to an aching throb. The Call would take her eventually. But not today. Today, she was already running late. “Shit!” Tilaani snatched her cloak from the icy stalagmite she had been using as a hanger and staggered to a slim crack in the cliff face. It had been a century since the passage had opened in one of El’Drek’s rages but the frozen stone was still jagged, tugging at her shirt as she sidled through, thin cloak clutched in one hand. Wind whistled through the crevice, peppering her exposed skin with hard snow. It melted, steaming as it touched her. Time within the cavern had always been malleable, misaligned with the world outside. Shinac had always claimed the shifts were random but Tilaani had her doubts. It always seemed to stretch whenever she was in a hurry. She wouldn’t put it past any of the dead—either Blessed or Barred—to extend time merely to inconvenience her. And now, backing up this theory, the sun was high overhead and the few hours she had spent being lectured by the Ancients had become nearly an entire night and day in the land of the living. Allak would be insufferable if she was late.

Gothic mood board for a fiction novel featuring a skull, medieval Irish imagery, catholic symbolism, and gothic horror romance vibes. Text in the center reads "The Banshee of Clan Murtagh, 80,000 word gothic horror, SmoochPit 2025" The Pitch: When Ciarán Murtagh hears the cry of his family’s eternally young banshee, he hunts her down to learn who in his family is fated to die. In the struggle, his touch triggers memories of the banshee’s previous life as a servant of his household—and she demands to know more. They meet by moonlight searching for answers in the banshee’s memories, and Ciarán’s growing attraction sets him on a path of macabre desire. But as the devastating bubonic plague closes in, Ciarán must decide whether to stay by his dying family or succumb to the seduction of the death-bringer.

HAMNET x NOSFERATU

The black sheep of a powerful 14th-century Irish family pursues a forbidden romance with the eternally young banshee who’s haunted his estate for generations, but as the bubonic plague closes in he must choose between the living and the dead.
