#RevPit was one of my very first mentorships I submitted to last year, and I was thrilled to be selected in the 10queries and have since learned so much because of it!!

I can’t wait to submit again with a new projectβ€”if I can manage to narrow down my editor choices from 6 to 3! πŸ‘€

Left to right. 

Top row: A foggy city with a spire in the background. The hands of a clock approaching 12. Smoke from an explosive in a building.

Middle row: A man in a waistcoat pointing at something. β€œTick… Tock…” A man in a waistcoat sitting down.

Bottom row: Silver coins covered in blood. A group of people standing inside a clock tower. Rain on a cobblestone street.

SIX OF CROWS X WHAT WAKES THE BELLS

After his sister is cursed by a vengeful goddess, a former pickpocket must steal a relic from the most powerful man in the city to save her. But he can’t pull it off alone, and not everyone in his ragtag crew can be trusted.

This is a flowery graphic with post-reincarnation Yoon on the left and pre-reincarnation Max on the right, but turned at an angle with their character artworks facing each other. Above fancy robe-wearing Yoon there are lines that read: In the stillness of death, he immortalized her as his ever-loving, ever-living flower. It would be an eternity of affection. Above florist-uniformed Max are the lines: It wouldn't be so bad if this were the end, he thought... In their family, inconvenient things were silently buried.
Especially death.

MARTYR! x THE NAMES but isekai

Max sees no future for himself until death reshapes him into a noble in an alternate ancient East Asia. As Yoon, he has it all: status, affection, & a prediction that his love is lethal. Is life worth living if it comes at others’ suffering?

Image of a woman’s face half displayed and cut away to reveal a skull. Floral vines frame the central image. The text reads β€˜Woodbine’ with the d and b forming a heart.

When a lonely stained-glass artist is invited to restore a set of windows depicting the haunting story of Tristram and Isolde, he must reassemble the fractured pieces of his memory before his own budding romance ends in tragedy.
