My newborn has this special ability where he can sense the exact moment I open my document to write, and will wake up in a fit of rage

Lyric's red flags:
obsessed with her best friend
in the midst of a coming of rage
Eleanor's red flags:
will ditch you for boys
possibly a cult member
the last person said boys were seen with before disappearing

[Grace Demyan @gracedemyan]

As a heads up, I’ll be closing to queries on October 1st. My inbox is overflowing with goodness, and I’m so grateful to have received so many amazing submissions :)

@RowanBrightonB These are my two favorites *after* the first draft is written and it’s time for edits ☺️

[Rowan Brighton Brown @RowanBrightonB]

"Why do you share pitch tips and query critique with your competition?"

No, you don't get it—we compete against the system, not each other! The better our pitches, the more industry participation we attract. The stronger our writing, the more readers pick up the next book. See?
