Aspiring Author...scratch that, definite author of the future. YA fantasy is my jam! Writing is hard, the end. Mom 24/7. Perpetuator of kindness. Christian.

Being a 17yr old queen is a challenge. Forced into human form is peculiar. But nothing is as grim as being the cursed unicorn whose reign has brought dragon fire to her kind— Now Fermel must fight or be the cause of a unicorn extinction #SFFpit #YA #MH

Down to single digits! The wait is almost over...

@tamarranicole Makes you what would happen if we broke his arm and said “Sorry, no pain medicine for you…but here is some lavender to make you feel more calm.”
Seriously, double middle fingers to this individual.

I found this to be a very helpful thread. Always wondering what is going through an agents mind when they open my query.

@Maria_Tureaud So relieving when you find lost writing material.

I recently saw a person’s Twitter photo—a selfie taken in a grocery store, adult diapers discreetly in the background—and I can’t help but think “Who stops mid shopping and says…now’s a good time for a selfie.”
No judgement, just thought it was funny

I knew this thread would come in handy. #RevPit hopefuls are discouraged after not being selected. Don’t give up writers. I’m sure the editors would have picked more, but the prize is their free time and we have to respect they’re day job. I for one will be paying for a critique.

[Cierra Shank 🫠⬅️ writing @cshank19]

The discouragement that can come from not being selected for #Revpit is very real.
You may think, “Dang, I thought I had such a strong MS.”
You may doubt your ability to catch the eye of an agent when your begin querying.
So I was wondering #editors can we make a thread?/

[Cierra Shank 🫠⬅️ writing @cshank19]

@alina_bacher Questioning yourself happens almost every time you face rejection. But the fact you submitted a COMPLETED manuscript already quantifies your passion.
But this #RevPit was not a rejection, just not chosen. It’s hard, I know. I went Twitter dark and cried. It’s okay. Don’t give up

[Ray Ukuame🇳🇬🍉 @raywrites_books]

OMG I GOT CHOSEN AS A #REVPIT RUNNER UP. ALL THE HAPPY TEARS RIGHT NOW 😭😭😭🥹🥹🥹.

[Cierra Shank 🫠⬅️ writing @cshank19]

@danaevyn @Maria_Tureaud Oh dang! I made a cake too. Carrot cake… with bunnies and sprinkles for grass. I don’t expect any celebration so it’s there to make me feel like a winner 🤣

[Cierra Shank 🫠⬅️ writing @cshank19]

@Maria_Tureaud Thanks for all this. Seriously so generous, it has been so fun being in your submission list this year and following all the fun tweets! 💜

[Carly Hayward, Editor @FromCarly]

Okay #RevPit fam. We're coming to the big announcement tomorrow.
I want you to remember:
-This isn't a reflection of you/your worth/your book's worth
-The best part is the community. So keep the friends and stick around (if your MH is up for it)! Keep learning with us!

[Cierra Shank 🫠⬅️ writing @cshank19]

Friends, let me make a public shout out to our #RevPit editors. They’re awesome! They give to this contest out of pure 💜 for helping writers and for those they can’t give the prize to, they leave nuggets of knowledge. I have thoroughly enjoyed this experience. #RevPitWaiting
