Interested in learning more about me and my MSWL for this year’s #RevPit? Tune in for my #MeetTheEditor session on Monday, March 3! I look forward to spending time with you and answering your questions! #WritingCommunity #WritersofBluesky

Thrilled to be a 2025 #RevPit Annual Contest editor! 🎉 As a RevPit board member & founder of Concise Fiction Academy, I love helping writers refine their stories. Open to YA, Adult & select MG! 📚 Submissions open March 13—check out my MSWL & details: reviseresub.com/editors/miranda-darrow

I’m due for an intro! Hi, I’m Tiffany (she/they)! 👻 #amwriting a queer gothic horror 🐈🐈‍⬛ wrangled by two chaotic tabbies 📺 current tv obsessions: XO, Kitty | White Lotus | Sex Lives of College Girls 📖 current read: Blood Like Magic (a 2018 #RevPit winner!) #writingcommunity #amediting #queerwriter

I’m so excited to be a #RevPit editor again this year, and to see what you’ve been writing #WritingCommunity #WritersofBluesky! I’m Leah, speculative fiction editor and author, manga/anime and LEGO fan. Check out my #MSWL below ⬇️

RevPit is an amazing opportunity to work with a developmental editor! It's also a great place for building community. (I never won RevPit. I got shortlisted 2x. But RevPit connected me to my writing group & having them radically changed my writer life for the better🧡🥖) #AmQuerying #WritingCommunity

I know I bang on about this contest a lot, but #RevPit was the very first competition I entered with a MS that no one else had seen at the time. If I hadn’t received the wonderful feedback I did, I don’t know whether I would’ve had the confidence to pursue writing. Take a chance and enter! ❤️

I am currently: ♡Reading♡ - The Last Dragon on Mars by Scott Reintgen ♡Watching♡ - Dr. Stone Season 4 - YouTube. So much YouTube ♡Playing♡ - Stardew Valley - The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword ♡Listening to♡ - Kendrick Lamar - Chappell Roan (I know I'm basic have mercy) And you?

Aaand here it is! The lineup of 2025 #RevPit editors! If you’re thinking about or planning to participate in the annual contest this year, make sure to check out this thread ⬇️ #WritingCommunity #AuthorsofBluesky

A movie you’ve watched more than six times

#AuthorsofBluesky it’s almost that time! The #RevPit annual contest is your chance to win a full dev edit from a professional editor. ✨ I’m excited to see what the #writingcommunity has in store this year. Your manuscript needs to be completed but doesn’t need to be polished. 📝

#RevPit is almost here! #WritingCommunity and #AuthorsOfBluesky, this is your chance to win a free developmental edit on a completed manuscript. Check out the editors participating below!

✨Feature Friday!✨ On Fridays, I'd like to highlight the accomplishments of my bookish friends and acquaintances—those I admire but haven't necessarily worked for/with. If you have a new release (or a backlist title that needs some love!), feel free to send it my way. ☺️ #booksky #writersky

Such a great line up of editors for #RevPit. They drop so much wisdom throughout the contest, and the community is great. I adore this contest and recommend any querying-stage authors check it out!

Hint on comp titles: You don't want your comps ONLY to be books with similar plots. Comp titles should also speak to characters, writing style, atmosphere, tropes, etc. #writersofbluesky #writingcommunity

One of the biggest tips I can give querying authors is not to be arrogant in your letters. The line between arrogance and confidence is very fine. And although confidence is a great thing, demonstrating that isn't required in a query letter either. All you need to aim for is professional and polite

A quick reminder of what I love to edit and what's on my no-fly list 💖 If you have any questions, just ask! #writersofbluesky #amwriting #amediting #amquerying

It's gloomy today, which makes it perfect for holing up to edit 💖✨

The YA publishing crisis isn’t that we need more mature YA books or a Mature YA label, it’s that we need more YA books published for teens of all ages and less YA books published as YA but also wanting to reach Adult audiences. Adults have plenty of books published for them.

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

I’m putting together a team lol….no but for real I’m gathering a few black authors together to work on an anthology about a magical hair salon. I have 4 writers now but would love 6 (8 if i can write the barber or nail tech). This is an unpaid passion project, but feel free to DM for details.

Just know that if I don't see posts uplifting Black voices on your page, I'm judging you. 👩🏻‍⚖️ You should be reading books by #Blackauthors year round but ESPECIALLY during #BlackHistoryMonth. Sharing lists and reposting #Blackbooksky creators' content is not hard. #blacksky 🖤🤎 go.bsky.app/E53tMV9

It's the start of #BlackHistoryMonth! Share these stories by and about Black joy, excellence, and history in your class or library! #EduSky #BookSky Download the booklist: penguinschoollibrary.com/BlackVoicesB...

I'm in print!

I dragged my body over gravel and glass and burning coals to build the life I live today. If you took it all away from me tomorrow, I'd go back to crawling through that fire the very next day, and every day after that, until I'm back here.
