This is how you become a writer: just pick one of the things that is deeply wrong with you. Make it a character. Now send it on a self-help journey or try to kill it. Now call it a book.

LAOC helps improve access for lit agents of historically marginalized backgrounds 💚 Querying writers should never feel pressured to "pay-to-play," but if you already planned on paying for query letter support, this is a great way to support a good cause 💙 www.32auctions.com/organization...

Hope all of #CampRevPit enjoyed their #CRPCabinRaids yesterday? #CRPDryads Let's play Filler Word Bingo! Filler words are a part of writing, but when they're overused they become a problem. The bingo card below isn't exhaustive, and there is NO hard limit on the exact amount that's acceptable

#CRPnessie Prompt Day 6 (4/25): If your characters were pulled into a portal that sent them to the world of a different fantasy novel (or any alternative reality!), where would you send them and why? Also, check the main #CampRevPit feed for info about CABIN RAIDS! 👀

This adult cozy fantasy is so charming, and Nefer's writing really brings the world to life. I can't wait to share this story with y'all! #RevPit @neferdoane.bsky.social

As winners are going to be announced this afternoon, I want to take a minute to talk about losing a contest like #RevPit. Real talk—the majority of people who submit will not win an edit, because there are many more subs than editors. 1/7

WELCOME TO PREVIEW WEEK! While we're waiting for our winners, let's go over what you need for camp. 1st- What is #CampRevPit? #CampRevPit came out of the 2020 Annual Contest when mental health was suffering and was an idea for how to help writers cope with rejection after winners were announced.

📣 #CampRevPit is back Get & give feedback! Make new writer friends! Continue #RevPit prompts & games! April 21-May 4 Signups and preview week starting April 14

Worried about what happens after #RevPit? We've got you covered. ⛺ 👀👀👀 #RevPitWaiting #DifferentKindOfTeaser

Alright #RevPit fam, I'm sorry for the wait! But guess what? My first #10Queries will be tomorrow at 3pm ET! Is it to spread out the 10queries? Is it because I was slow going through my subs? Is it because I like to keep you in suspense and I'm evil? No one can know for certain! See you then!

Greetings, Revelers, and welcome to my 2026 #RevPit #10Queries thread. I'm kicking off my first session now, but will attempt to thread my future sessions so people can find all of my posts together - that's my plan 🤷‍♀️ First, some hashtag shortcuts #MG = Middle Grades #YA = Young Adult #A = Adult
