Hey #RevPitWaiting friends! Reducing a massive manuscript down to one or two sentences is not easy! I want to share with y'all a cheat-sheet I saw from #BluePit that was INCREDIBLY helpful to me. The anatomy of a pitch:

Multiple #RevPit editors can post #10Queries feedback about the same submissions. We're not that organized to check with each other, especially because all of the editors are posting about at least 20 of their subs. So even if you think you saw feedback from one of the editors, stay tuned.

Hi #RevPit community! Welcome to my first #10Queries session. Before we begin, here's some shortcuts I'll be using: MG=middle grade YA=Young adult A=adult MC=Main character #RevPitWaiting

I'm working on my first set of #RevPit #10Queries. I hope you'll join me on Tuesday, March 31 at 11:00 am (ET).

Hi #RevPit friends. Today, I’m going to share a thread on what I think is a lesser-known querying tip. An agent friend told me about this a while ago, and it makes absolute sense, so I’m going to spill the tea with you guys. #RevPitWaiting 💜💎

The title bracket continues with round 19: ⦁ Macarons and Monsters ⦁ Bite Shift Cast your vote here: forms.gle/REVeNqM8Jvpk... #RevPit #RevPitWaiting #RevPitBracket2026

We've let our #WIPs rest (or not) for a bit now, have you been hit with any inspiration for revision during #RevPitWaiting?

Kaden turned, aware how coated in blood he was. Aware that these people now gaped at him, not with disdain but undisguised fear. “Kaden…” Shock tainted Wilona’s voice. She raced to him, eyes wild with fear. Her #trembling hands grasped his blood soaked sleeve. “What have you done?” #revpitwaiting

A sampling of lucky items I have on my desk when I submitted to #RevPit — My grandfathers clock. Wednesday Addams mug. Lemon 🍋 coaster. Sticker from my cousin. Cute little mice. Crystal tulips. And a Mon Cheri dish — Yes they are lucky. No I cannot explain with this character limit. #RevPitWaiting

Wondering, whether your a plotter or pantser or in between (like me), how your characters have surprised you? #revpitwaiting #booksky

Here's round 18 in the title bracket: - Love and Other Commodities - A Feast for Lambs Cast your vote here: forms.gle/nxdjFwNuEJhm... #RevPit #RevPitWaiting #RevPitBracket2026

Such a good question! Watch new book deal announcements on Publishers Marketplace and Publishers Weekly, etc. Pay attention for patterns in agent MSWLs (so, MSWL, Query Tracker, socials). It's not looking for one factor but rather more like tracking the stock market over time #RevPit

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

Ok, here we are #revpitwaiting! My first #10queries for #Revpit 2026 will be this Monday, March 30! 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

New goal, starting a bit late, but how many books can I read/listen during #revpitwaiting? So far: Thrashers / Soto Dating Dragons / Boyce

A few #WIPs. 1. YA Near-future SciFi/mystery/thriller (on hold at 25%) 2. YA Contemporary Fantasy/Horror (shelving) 3. MG Contemporary Fantasy/horror (polishing) 4. 90s YA Mystery (planning to revise into a supernatural thriller) #RevPitWaiting

Jen brings the atmosphere and viceral horror to this book, so much talent. So deserved! And such a wonderful person as well. #gumiho

One thing I love about #revpit is it forces me to stop messing with my #WIP and just let it stew for a bit. I write down my ideas for revision and let them simmer so when it's time to jump back in again I'll have fresh eyes and a mind to figure out if the ideas work or not.

The title bracket continues with round 14 - Keeper of Nowhere - One Night at the Bottom of the Lake Cast your vote here: forms.gle/cwNM2Fq9TnWn... #RevPit #RevPitWaiting #RevPitBracket2026

I want to emphasize: trust your reader!! If you've left enough crumbs to lead them to a conclusion, trust that they will arrive there. As a writer, you have to strike the balance between clarity & intrigue. And trust yourself that you've left enough for them to grasp. #revpitteasers

Here's round 13! We're almost to the point where all the edges of the bracket will be filled in. - Dreaming of Amethyst and Obsidian - The Peculiar Love of Eccentric Creatures Cast your vote here: forms.gle/sgSND3aGvPeb... #RevPit #RevPitWaiting #RevPitBracket2026

#RevPitTeaser #TeamAmethyst 💜💎 Good morning, I’m reading! to make my next teasers extra fun, I’m not going to tell you the age category or genre. It can be any of your books. 🥰 I’ll probably drop age category and genre again sometime this weekend, but I love my plot twists, so there you go. ✨

Sooo hard, here are a few, narrowing down to kidlit. YA (overall): suzanne collins YA spec: kelly andrew YA contemp: jenny han YA thriller: natalie richards Classics: L.M. Montgomery MG: katherine applegate YA SFF.... i dont think i can choose. #revpitwaiting

#RevPitTeasers insatiable bloodlust in THIS economy???

Hi #RevPit friends, I’m going to share some general pieces of advice for queries and opening pages ahead of my 10 Queries session. This thread is the first one. Let’s talk about the character’s internal journey in the query letter. #RevPitWaiting

Here's round 11 of the bracket: - Fine Means Stop Asking - Bones of Jade Cast your vote here: forms.gle/8XuXBPrE5JTC... #RevPit #RevPitWaiting #RevPitBracket2026

Even if you didn't sub to Madelyn, this info is definitely golden to see where us author's are trending. Horror is no surprise. Portal though? Do I spy a possible revival of it?

Here for the adorable cat pic. And the speculating, always the speculating.🔍

There are so many scenes I love my #RevPit sub, though I know there is still a long way to go to make the story really shine. #WipSnips

Round 10 of the title bracket! Which one's your favourite? - Maybe Today, Satan - The Henry Haters Cast your vote here: forms.gle/49NRUZS94F6o... #RevPit #RevPitWaiting #RevPitBracket2026

We're halfway through the initial rounds and have moved to the right side of the bracket! Up against each other today in round 9: - The Necromancer's Wife - Mouth Piece Cast your vote here: forms.gle/h78rVwu1vbau... #RevPit #RevPitWaiting #RevPitBracket2026

Alright, home with sickies and time to jump back into my read through of my #MG Contempt #Fantasy re-read through and polish. Throwback #PosterPit pitch from last year.

Sigh... and here I thought there would be drama, aggression, the start of a few blood feuds, maybe some punches thrown...ect. But alas... #revpit

Let's talk a little bit about how I go through my #RevPit subs, shall we? I've been doing some version of this since 2014, so you'd think I have my process down to a science. BUT I am used to seeing the potential in every story, and that makes this hard. Reason 298758 I'd make a terrible agent

#RevPitTeaser #TeamAmethyst 💜💎 I’m at my desk and ready to read ✨ query letters! ✨ And if you hook me, I’m going to read your ✨ first five pages! ✨ #RevPit

This is a fun one. “Walking with a Ghost” By Tegan and Sara is definitely the perfect soundtrack for my MG Paranormal. #mg #revpitwaiting youtu.be/jtCGODjuRq0
