Maybe this can help others, too! And might I recommend watching her other vids? Yes, I might. And I am.

For a good while, all the way up 5 hours before the request window would close, I thought #SmallPitch was a bust this time around.

Then two(!) surprise requests for DAD BODIES ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

#WIPSnips from MARK OF THE JESTER!

Potley stands face to face with a half-giant. He is about to discover they aren't as savage as what he read. Maybe.

The violence escalates with every chapter. So do the consequences.

#WIPSnips from MARK OF THE JESTER!

Only one instance of the word 'transfer' so far. Potley's Masks play a big role.

DAD BODIES

When their detective is murdered during their annual gaming retreat, five dads must rely on years of TTRPG experienceโ€”and punsโ€”to solve the crime before they're all killed off like NPCs in a badly written supernatural campaign. But survival means more than just staying alive, as their very identity and sense of self are in play, as well.

Novel, Commercial fiction, Horror, adult, Disabled writers, English as a Second Language

Participating in #SmallPitch! And if I don't finish my current wip MARK OF THE JESTER on time, I'll also enter #RevPit with it ๐Ÿ˜„

Assuming I don't land representation by #litagents or sell it first ๐Ÿ˜ (which, let's be honest, is always the safest to assume)

#SmallPitch begins in only 6 hours! It will remain open for 48 hours, so there's no rush to submit.

Double-check that pitch and your submission before hitting the submit button.

Pitches are displayed randomly to editors, so again, no need to rush. Just don't miss the deadline ๐Ÿ˜Š

Open request to change the meaning of 'CNR' to 'Closed, No Rejection', to keep a positive spin on things? #querying is rough enough! ๐Ÿ˜

I've heard some fellow #writers asking about finding beta readers and critique partners. I recommend @writehive.bsky.social as a free, supportive group & great place to start. Also check out @dreamfoundry.bsky.social if you do SFF! Both have discords you can join.
