I love this idea, thanks for sharing!

My earliest revisions look like the darkest timeline 🤣😅

Can I just say #revpit editors emailing those of us that didn't make it are wonderful angels? When I wasn't picked it was easy to stop believing in my writing/book. Validation should come from within and all but alas I am human. Then to find out I made a longlist and 2 shortlists?? HUGE THANK YOU 😭❤️

My camp revpit book is a low fantasy set in the real world, no fantasy map for me 😅

I'm more than halfway through my second to last edit before querying! i.e. I'm on my way down the mountain and the finish line is in sight if you squint. I'll have to double back around with my weedwhacker to cut a bunch of unnecessary words though 😅

Oh nice! And awesome, I'll dm you ☺️

Thanks!

Ah cool! And mkay, I'll DM you 🙂

Aw thanks, I'm always looking for CPs! I like a mix of cozy games (on switch) and simulation games. I just got INZOI and have been playing that like crazy. Also the occasional single player RPG, like Dragon's Age. What about you?

Ahh thanks so much! I'm always on the lookout for CPs too. ☺️ I took huge break from crocheting but just recently picked it up again. I've got so many projects to finish!

Hey #CRPfireflies, I'm Abby! I'll be working on my revpit entry, a diverse dark fantasy reimagining of Alice in Wonderland meets Kill Bill: a black Alice is after revenge on the characters of wonderland who are mushroom drug lords. I'm from NY, living in Houston. I WFH, garden, game, & crochet!

Oh nice, I had no idea!

Same! Yeah I saw that series too, she covered the different types of outliners so everyone could find a system they liked!

And last but not least, a nice resource on specificity in writing! Good for underwriters or anyone who wants to punch some more juicy detail into their prose!

I’m a mix of both, a plantser! I like to get going with a light outline to start. It’s very general with not much detail, more of a guideline to follow that is very flexible. Then I discovery write on the many parts the outline doesn’t cover

Ah okay, keep me updated!

Hey, I can't dm you!

I'm looking for CPs!

Wow congrats! Can't wait to read this!

Thank you 😭💕

Awesome, I'll dm you in a bit

#revpitwaiting

I sadly don't have any CPs, but am on the lookout for some! If anyone also writes SFF/H and wants to swap pages, hit me up!

HUGE shoutout to my Pitch War's Class & their annual trash swap for all the query letter help and book feedback. Without ya'll my Alice in Wonderland x Kill Bill book would not be what it is today. Thank you to my alpha reader @jaqevans.com and my beta reader Suzy Darlington!

Oh okay, thanks for clarifying. I knew this was a thing forever ago but I've been in my writerly cave for so long I didn't know it was still going on! Super unfortunate, considering my current book 🙃 (also invite me to that rant if you ever get to it lol)

I think I'm more confused now (which may just be my sick brain lol). You're saying trad pub rejects A crossover for YA crossover? If a book is solidly adult (in themes, content, and MC age) but reads fast paced and "vibey" like YA, how would an author market that in a query?

saaame doesn't my immune system know I'm trying to wait for revpit in peace 😭

haha thank you! 😀
