Hi #CRPGlasswings! My name is Q’Zion, a fantasy writer who loves flirty banter, imaginary worlds, and the Black girls that live in them. I’m super excited to meet you all and looking forward to what my first #CampRevPit has in store!

I just went to this adorable, eco-friendly vintage boutique and thrifted two books. One is a craft book and the other is full of cute childhood stories from bestselling authors. I can’t wait to dive in! Have you heard of either of these? #WritingCommunity

I’m pleased to present the movie poster of the YA science fantasy novel that has received 10 full requests and indie press interest! Introducing THE ROOTS OF DESTINY, complete at 92k words. #PosterPit #PosterPitQ #YA #F #SF

I am seeing so many #RevPit tweets about people who made their editors’ shortlists and #10Queries! Congratulations to you all! 🥳

FULL REQUEST #8! 🩵

Reminder for all #amquerying authors: the moments you feel like giving up are the moments you push through. Every time my dream of being published feels further away, another request comes in. Don’t loose hope! Our ‘yes’ is right around the corner!

Congratulations to every single one of the winners of #RevPit! You deserve this more than you know. Over the next 8 weeks, me and the rest of the #WritingCommunity will be cheering you on! I hope I’ll be able to read every single one of your books, one day!

I know it’s cliche, but it’s cliche for a reason: we are all winners! We wrote a book—something that most people will only dream of doing. We are writers! Regardless of the results, I am thankful for the #RevPit community and the new virtual writer friends I’ve made in it! Cheers, everyone!

It’s such a privilege to be a part of the #RevPit #RevPitWaiting community! Regardless of whether I win, I’m so thankful for your support, awesome #10Queries feedback for other people’s stories, and (I suspect) my own. I will be cheering the winners as they make their stories even better!

As a first-time #amquerying writer, I was surprised with how many agents have went out of their way to personalize a response. Requests and even passes with a simple “I liked your voice/pages/concept,” make me feel so seen. It’s responses like this that keep me moving forward.

‘It took me sixteen years to find a bloom. Wrapped in darkness, breathing in the manufactured oxygen that rafts through the world. I cradle it close, its white limbs glowing beneath the moon that parts the trees.’ #1stLinePit #Q #YA #SF #F #SFF
