A shout out to my #RevPit #10Queries fam. Thank you for your kindness and patience with me for these last few weeks. I’m happy to say that all feedback emails have been sent. If you have any questions feel free to reach out. I’m just an email away.

What agents, editors, and book buyers all have in common is that they are all readers. You have to think like a reader to catch one’s attention. Get to know reader expectations—aka TROPES, and then you can either meet or subvert them. TVtropes.com has a comprehensive list. #authorthreads

Let’s talk about #CampRevPit! 🏕️ Camp RevPit came out of the 2020 Annual Contest when everyone's mental health was seriously suffering, and a big conversation happened about what would help writers cope with the feelings of rejection after the winners were announced. A #RevPitWaiting 🧵

Just updated! But also, all the #RevPit #10Queries threads will be posted on our substack soon (and go out to subscribers’ emails) substack.com/@reviseresub

We start tomorrow! Sign up & immediately get your prompts to start planning. (It's free!) #booksky

One thing I've been noticing a lot with my submissions is that some authors have done so much work and listened to so much advice, that they are forgetting the basics. Story structure may not be a glamorous fix, but it is the foundation that everything hangs on. #RevPit

Your #RevPit surprise is here! #CampRevPit is back. Read 👇 for more.

I a ubmitted my #RevPit2025 winner and runner-up form last night. It’s been a challenging few weeks, first making a long list then narrowing it down to a short list. My runner-up I pretty much knew from the start who it would be. I wish we could pick 2 winners though. It was torture letting go.

It's time for my first round of #RevPit #10Queries, writers. Do you spot your story? 👀 QL= Query Letter P= Pages @reviseresub.bsky.social

Here's a thread of the top issues I saw will doing #10Queries. These are opportunities for improvement that I noticed in multiple subs, so consider whether your query letter could use revisions in these areas, too! #RevPit
