For sixteen-year old Wilona love is a curse that left her in poverty, so when she discovers she has magic and is offered a life of luxury, she accepts. Only, her deadly magic puts a target on her back and in order to survive, she’ll have to forsake her principles and marry or become a killer.

Essentials for Writers: Loglines In 2022, we started asking for loglines as part of the submission process for the RevPit Annual Contest. Because this was new to the contest and a lot of the authors in our community weren’t …

Hey #RevPit, have logline questions or want some feedback on your logline? Reply here, and I’ll get to as many as I can.

Logline explanation: www.jenichappelleeditorial.com/post/essenti...

Okay. I do have one question. This is my first dual POV (one fantasy, one horror) I'm assuming for the logline i should focus on just the main MC?

A water lily on a pond is centered around its reflection. The text above it says: Reflections one year after winning #RevPit 2025:
Below the water lily, the names "M" "Iris" "Marena" "Rakan" "Ree" "Nadine" and "Wera" float

When I submitted to #RevPit last year, I was curious about what happened to the previous year’s winners. In the comments below, a few folks from the 2025 cohort have reflected on their experience! We'd love to hear stories from others as well!

Not any particular ones, its an aspect of my writing I've started to work on more, incorporating themes and making sure they're clear in my WIP. I love the first one you mentioned, find what you love and let it kill you. πŸ˜†

#RevPit pro tip:

If you missed an editor's #MeetTheEditor chat, you can still @ them with questions about their MSWLs, RevPit, or whatever else

A tear traced down Mara’s gaunt face. β€œBut do you know what I remember #most?”

Kaden didn’t answer, his body limp on the downy grass.

Mara leaned in, close enough that her large black eyes filled his vision. β€œI remember how quickly all that wonder can rot under contempt and scorn.”

I am a plotter, but not hardcore. Sometime my characters decide to make new decisions, especially with any love interests.

I am participating this year, its just so fun! 3rd year now!

If you’re on the fence about #RevPit, I’m always tempted to say you have nothing to lose + everything to gain. Which is true.

But I also want to acknowledge that there are genuine reasons not to enter. So, I present you:
