If you could get clarification on anything to do with querying (through a blog or resource), what would it be? #amwriting #amquerying #RevPit

I didn’t think this needed to be said, but don’t share private discount codes or offers. We know what we sent to who. #RevPit

#CampRevPit is 1st page swaps, positivity passes, and community prompts. It’s all run by authors from the #RevPit community because the editors are all in our editing caves. It’s definitely a nice way to come down from the chaos of the annual contest + make some great connections with other writers

But that same ms got me an R&R which got me my FABULOUS agent. My debut, WHEN YOU WRITE BACK, is coming out with a trad publisher in less than a year. All this to say, keep at it! Keep writing, keep putting yourself out there, keep working on your craft & you'll get there! #RevPit #WritingCommunity

#CampRevPit: SIGN UP! Hello, campers! Claim your cabin spot and select the activities you'd like to join using the form below! The registration will remain open April 14 to April 16. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Inbox update: With the chaos of #RevPit winding down, I’ll be catching up on the queries in my inbox. I received over a thousand (!!!) queries in my first month, so thank you! But I may not open again until later this month until I’m caught up 💖 #agenting #writingcommunity

more pocket-sized books. more books that fit in coats like contraband and can be taken out to avoid eye contact in any situation.

I want to clarify that #RevPit #10Queries is not the same as the top 10. Editors pick subs for 10Queries based on feedback that can benefit any writer. There may be overlap with top picks, but it's necessarily not a direct correlation. Several of my shortlist were not in my 10Queries and vice versa.

reminder: #RevPit editors are: 1. professional editors 2. sad we only got to pick 1 winner 3. open for work, yall. the AC 1st place prize is a FREE full MS dev edit - but most of us offer discounts for all #RevPit participants & would be delighted to work with you on your amazing projects 💛 (1/2)

Sending out #10Queries today. Reminder that I picked these at random based on feedback I thought would be useful to everyone. There were a lot of great stories here, and not being chosen for #RevPit is not a reflection on you as a writer. To describe to you how hard it is to be chosen:

If you didn't win #RevPit, but you still need help with your query letter and/or manuscript, there are other ways to get support! Here are a few: • Hire a RevPit editor outside of the contest. Most have discounts available to participants!

A very important reminder. We were all in tears trying to pick our winners, constantly wanting to add more to our shortlists. Please don't give up. #RevPit

I’m so excited to help out with this year’s Camp RevPit! Sign up and we’ll have so much fun!

I just finished my first year as a First Reader for #RevPit! Two years ago I was on the other side. Entering, not getting shortlisted, not getting in. And again in 2025. Two times a "loser". Here's what I want every writer who didn't get in to know: 🧵

Congratulations to all the winners and runners-up!!✨️🎉 A huge thank you to everyone who submitted to #RevPit!! 💫👏💜 It's such an accomplishment to even FINISH a story, & the fact that you do the brave work of sharing it has me awestruck every year. YOU make this such a special experience—THANK YOU 💫✍️

Shouting into the writing void (because I'm never here -- usually on IG!) that #camprevpit '25 is where I found the writing community I talk to the most, & of our cabin who have stuck around, 5 of us now have agents and many others have had promising times in the trenches. So you should participate!

Words cannot describe how excited I am to work with @madelynknecht.bsky.social!! I try (and fail) every year not to get my hopes up, so you imagine my surprise seeing this notification 😭 I'm so so grateful for all the editors, and I'm beyond excited to share Portrait of a Fawn with everyone🤎

Congratulations to all the winners & runners-up! If you weren't pick please remember: none of this is a condemnation of your work. There were SO many amazing pieces. It often comes down to a gut call. Your words are still wonderful. Plus, the community is the most valuable thing here anyway #RevPit

Adored this one! 🍃

🦌 So excited for this one! 🦌🥰

It's finally here! Time to announce our 2026 #RevPit Annual Contest winners and runners-up! reviseresub.com/showcase/rev...

Winner locked in 😎 #RevPitTeasers

People saying a YA book is bad because it has a "childish" moment from a literal child protagonist is exactly why YA is such a struggle right now and teens can't find books to read, jsyk. #writingcommunity

me today in that editor chat... #RevPitTeasers

Easter with my boys 💖🥹 I love them so much 📸: my sister

Am I gonna see a brawl unfold? 👀 #RevPitTeasers

🦌🐊🧙🏼‍♀️🪏🌱🐦‍🔥🧟‍♀️ #RevPitTeasers

Kidlit authors especially 👀 When teens say the characters read like adults, this is what they mean. Most teens/kids don't have that level of introspection. Let them be messy. Let them make mistakes. Let them fall hard before they learn their lesson. #writingcommunity #RevPit

Zelda is actually the name of the princess. The character you control is Zelda's Monster.

I have worked with an editor and the best thing I learned is that everyone NEEDS an editor. Even the best of us need someone to (lovingly, constructively) rein them in & tell them no. There is a fine line between a complex vision & incomprehensible mush. It’s hard to know the difference alone.

I wonder if this author would be willing to make some of these changes... 🫣 #RevPitTeasers

Who’s up for some #RevPit #10Queries today? I’m going to walk the dog and caffeinate, and then I’ll get started

Hey #RevPit community! This is my second round of #10Queries posts. A reminder of shortcuts: MG middle grade YA young adult A adult MC main character Let's go! #RevPitWaiting

Some of these "why you chose this editor" responses make me so warm and fuzzy 🤭 #RevPit

Anyone up for my second round of #10Queries? 👀 #RevPit A=Adult YA=Young Adult MG=Middle Grade GMC: Goal, Motivation, Conflict F=Fantasy SF=SciFi M=Mystery H=Horror

Psst... Writers... Do a word search in your MS for feel/feels/felt I dare you #writingcommunity #RevPit

I just blew through these pages without even realizing it. Wow. What a strong start with a strong voice #RevPitTeasers

For anyone who's started any kind of event locally.... how did you get started? Any tips? 😁

One of the worst headlines I've ever seen

I think some general best practices have been lost. You should not be posting screenshots of *unredacted interactions/requests/etc. from agents on social media... #amquerying

Hey, #RevPit. Let's talk about wordcount. There are specific wordcount expectations that vary depending on your manuscript's age group and genre. It is better to be the *rule* rather than the *exception* here. I'll explain why:

I'm really happy to see some YA straying on the younger side with voices that feel fresh and genuinely like teens! #RevPitTeasers

Hey #RevPitWaiting! My #RevPit #10Queries are up! If you don't recognize your entry, hopefully the advice still resonates. Good luck everyone 👏

I just want to make another note: If you go through this thread, you'll notice that a lot of the issues present in the query letter also present themselves in the pages. Conversely, things that are great about the query carry over into the pages When we say the query matters, we mean it. #RevPit

SURPRISE #10Queries A= Adult YA= Young Adult MG= Middle Grade F= Fantasy SF= Science Fiction H= Horror M= Mystery Q= Query Letter P= Pages Let's get it 😎

I finished him! ☺️ Not sure what to name him 🤔

Crocheting this little guy a home while I go through subs this morning 😊 #RevPitTeasers
