Hello #revpit lovelies! I'm here for my #MeetTheEditor! I see some of you have already left me questions so I will make my way through those after a little introduction. @reviseresub.bsky.social

Today on #RevPit’s #MeetTheEditors Natasha Hanova: @natashahanova.bsky.social Ash P (Me at 3 p.m. Eastern): @ashpreads.bsky.social Megan Records: @meganrecords.bsky.social Come chat with us about your #manuscripts. #WritingCommunity #Authors #Writers #AmQuerying @reviseresub.bsky.social

I am an introvert who will be extroverting today. Wish me luck! I’ll start my #RevPit #MeetTheEditor in about an hour and will be checking throughout the day. I look forward to meeting my BlueSky friends.

During #RevPit, I get a lot of, "Is this concept something you might be interested in?" I respect storytelling in all its forms--every genre, age level, POV, mood, and form. There's nothing I won't at least consider, but I won't know how I feel about it until I see the sub package.

For those of you who missed my "Meet the Mentor" sesh yesterday:

My "set way to handle them" is to read them and try to give the authors good advice about whether it's truly necessary. There are so many ways to write a good book (with and without prologues!), but the word "Prologue" is a red flag for many agents. If you've got it, just make sure it matters!

Alright, Revelers, it's time for my #RevPit Meet the Mentor session! Consider this the start of the thread. I'll RT the questions in here and answer them as I go. Let's get to it!

Listen to Angelica! She was amazing to work with and is already on her way to big things :)

I'll be around this afternoon to answer questions! I've got a million things to do between now and then, but I'm looking forward to chatting with you all in a few hours!

Good morning, Revelers! I'll be doing my #RevPit Meet the Editor session later this afternoon. It's your opportunity to get to know me a little better. Please leave me some questions so I don't look like the dorky kid at the dance without any friends. Thanks! Love you all!

Announcing our 2025 annual contest editors!! 😍 #RevPit Check out each editor's #MSWL and the contest schedule! Submissions open March 13th 🥳 reviseresub.com/editors

Dear Writer, Your words will touch someone’s heart. Love, Kayleigh

I've been too busy to really focus on just how excited I am about #RevPit. This is my third year doing it, and the authors I worked with in the first two years landed agents. This is because I happened to choose already-great books, not because I had anything to do with it. But still 😁

Can't wait to RevPit party with y'all!

Have you signed up for the #RevPit Substack yet? It's the best way to get updates on the annual contest. Editors for this year's contest are being announced on February 21st, so watch for that! Substack: https://buff.ly/3X98fxg Bsky: https://buff.ly/4b4cO1s #writingcommunity

This weekend.... 👀 #RevPit #writingcommunity #writersofbluesky

It's a good day in editing when I get to research the 1943 MLB season to make sure my author's throwaway line about the Yankees and Red Sox would've been historically accurate.
