@EKTwrites I’m a fellow NoVa mom (and aspiring YA fantasy writer) currently reading This Vicious Grace and absolutely loving it. Can’t wait to dive into the sequel when I finish!

[Lori Sullivan @lsullivanwrites]

@SpellmanEllie I’ve had it happen twice, and it’s gutting.

[Lori Sullivan @lsullivanwrites]

@megcasebolt What are you writing, Meg? I mostly do YA fantasy but have dabbled in historical in the past!

[Lori Sullivan @lsullivanwrites]

So proud of @StacieMWrites for the release of her second book! Atmospheric historic mystery at its best!

[Lori Sullivan @lsullivanwrites]

@cakrolik Testament of Youth is amazing! Love the recent movie adaptation too.

[Lori Sullivan @lsullivanwrites]

@cakrolik I like it! Be super detailed in the original profile you fill out and give a lot of feedback on what you like and don’t like to maximize effectiveness. I’ve had great luck over the years with it.

[Lori Sullivan @lsullivanwrites]

@cakrolik Omg apparently it’s been so long I forgot my own name. lsulliv08 lol

[Lori Sullivan @lsullivanwrites]

@cakrolik Oh me! I mean not that my 36 week pregnant self is riding at the moment, but I’ll be back eventually!! lsullivan08

[Lori Sullivan @lsullivanwrites]

@BeckyM9637 So hard though! Good luck to you as well!

My October goals:
-Beta read a friend’s ms
-Get back to a first draft I set aside during the #PitchWars editing crunch
-Stop refreshing inbox every thirty seconds….

Let’s say the last one is a stretch. #PWPoePrompts

@KatKnightley Working on a retelling of Cinderella as a spy, set in the same fantasy world as my Pitch Wars submission!

[Lori Sullivan @lsullivanwrites]

#PitchWars submission complete! So thrilled to send my impulsive horse mage and her very sassy equine partner out into the world. Good luck to everyone submitting this year!

[Lori Sullivan @lsullivanwrites]

@KristieSmeltzer As ready as I can be, I think? My writing group had 🔥suggestions to whip my synopsis and query into shape, so here’s hoping! Good luck to you!

How do you feel about bios in the query? Essential, nice to have, or unnecessary? I currently have one in mine but naturally I’m overthinking it! #AskMentor

[Lori Sullivan @lsullivanwrites]

Any thoughts on optimal word length for YA fantasy? Mine is clocking in at 94k and wondering if I need to make any cuts. #AskMentor
