Thanks to everyone who participated in
#RevPit
and those who encouraged others to participated, as well as those who are cheerleading for other writers.
We had SO MANY entries this year. ✨
Thank you to all the authors who've submitted to
#RevPit
this year. We had an unprecedented and unanticipated number of entries, causing several editors to cap early. We're considering our options for next year to improve the experience for everyone.
I have something
#RevPit
shaped in my Inbox! I will post teasers eventually, but right now I just want to dive in a look around. I can already tell you all aren't going to make this easy on me.
There are already so many I want!!!!

I have my

You all are amazing! It's going to be hard to narrow these submissions down to one. I might need more chocolate.

Dropped my son off at the University of Iowa today. I’ll miss his bright smile. Yet I know he’s ready for this and look forward to hearing about his adventures.
You have no idea how hard this is! 🥹I've sorted through all my Maybe Yes cats and now have some more narrowing down to do on the remaining
#RevPit
subs. Feel free to post pics of pets or nature or whatever brings you joy.

It's so hard not to ❤️ these
#MoodPitch
since I'm not an agent. Still, I really enjoy seeing them.
They are distracting me from my
#RevPit
shortlist though & also helping me as I've seen some authors on my list posting their pitches.
Hey
#moodpitch
! I’m so excited to see all of the amazing mood boards today. If I ❤️ your pitch, please send query, synopsis, and first 50 pages to me here:
That feeling when you read the comp titles and are like, "YES Author, I get that vibe from your pages and I like!" 😃
and also TFW you see a comp title and think, "I know her! This Author has great taste in books." 🥰

I have my 100. Somehow, I'm supposed to narrow this down to one and after seeing what's in my inbox, it feels impossible. Too many awesome manuscripts. Wish me luck.

Almost half way through my
#RevPit
submissions. Sent a handful of requests with many more on my To Send list.
My eyes are tired. My soul is content. I've thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to read snippets of your work.
I had a dream about my grandma who passed away at age 103 from Covid in 2020.
She was happy and I got to hear her laughter. It was the best kind of dream. I’m starting today with joy in my heart. 💛
Tell or show me something you wish you could've added to your
#RevPit
submission. Inspiration pics of your characters... Book aesthetics... Favorite snack while writing... Music soundtrack...
#teaser
I'm stuck on these last three
#RevPit
subs. The characters are all interesting & fun. I want to be a personal cheerleader to all of them & want to protect them from what's heading their way. I won't, of course, because they'll need to suffer to grow. But still...
#RevPitTeasers
Thanks for trusting me with your manuscript baby. 🥰 It's clear, the dedication & love you put into your work. So many amazing characters and creative premises.
It made my job of only picking one almost impossible. 💛
That said, I have my winner! ✨

eve! I'm excited to dive into submissions tomorrow. Wishing you all the best of luck! It'll take me some time before I send requests. Your patience is appreciated. To those submitting to me, thank you for the opportunity to help make your work shine!
I’ve been baking again. Mini pies. Apple. Blueberry. Cherry. 😃
They turn out nice and crispy, with layers. And before you ask, yes I’ve been watching The Great British Baking Show. 😁
