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 💜💎

I am planning to do three #10Queries sessions. First up is Tuesday at 2:00 PM! #RevPit #RevPitWaiting

I have 3, one is a secret I’m not ready to share. But here are the other 2 A Malignant Game: a witch chooses to pursue Frankenstein’s radical electro-therapy science to cure magical ailments, betraying her coven’s conventional alchemy Echoes & Embers: romantasy, comp Knight & the Moth #revpit

Ah, I almost forgot to do this. Marry Shelley and Suzanne Collins are my favorite authors. T Kingfisher is 🤏🏻 this close to joining them. I love their dark hooky concepts, but not too grim where it’s depressing (to me, Hunger Games is more inspiring and empowering than depressing)

When a witch learns the radical science she betrayed her coven to study is at risk of being abolished, she reluctantly plays a malignant game to ensure its survival—if only to finish the forbidden research that led her there in the first place A Malignant Game #W #A #Spec

My query is definitely outside the 350 word count 🥲

My supervisors 🐈🐈‍⬛ Goose (orange tabby) Sadie/Nugget (calico tabby) Oliver (grey tabby) Gatsby (Siamese) They must inspect every little thing I do. Loudly #RevPit #RevPitWaiting

#RevPit #RevPitWaiting I cannot pick a singular theme song, but these are the songs I have on repeat as I read/write Nefarious Enterprises 🎃 (This is a graphic btw. My playlist is on YouTube)

We have our first winners! Moving on in the bracket from rounds 1-4: The House That Built Us I Still Dream in Indigo Love and Other Commodities A Feast for Lambs Congratulations! #RevPit #RevPitWaiting #RevPitBracket2026

✨ welcome to my #RevPitTeasers thread ✨ nothing to see here unless you like unhinged teaser posts from an absolutely feral #RevPit editor 😅 I'll keep vague, non-constructive posts on this thread for all you #writingcommunity friends - remember that #10Queries will get separate threads later on 😉

#RevPit #RevPitWaiting My favorite books of all time are Frankenstein and Hunger Games. I love their atmospheric vibes, I love how evocative they are, and I love that they’re both written by women ♥️ These other books are a few that have helped me grow as a writer and deserve mentioning🥰

#RevPit #RevPitWaiting These 😌 🔮Narissa’s growth 🎭A snippet of humor ❤️‍🔥The moment Narissa acknowledges her feelings for Devereux 🤝🏼& when Narissa and the Overlord officially join forces 😈

#RevPit #RevPitWaiting This was a perfect reason to post my latest book trailer🎃 Although this feels very gothic, I actually envision a more “Series of Unfortunate Events” aesthetics vibe, with the dark humor to match, except there’s carriages and raven parcel service www.tiktok.com/t/ZTho88Aqx/

Hey querying writers, check out my bio for a fun update 👀

I am overjoyed to announce that I have joined @metamorphlitag.bsky.social as an Assistant Literary Agent! I look forward to continuing my career and championing authors’ books with Metamorphosis Literary Agency. Stay tuned for my query announcement! #literaryagent #publishing #writingcommunity

🍀 Good afternoon, #RevPit Crew! It's time for my #AskEditor session! I'll be on for the next hour answering questions about writing, editing, querying, you name it! 💫 If you see this later and have a Q, just pop it below! I'll also be Quote-Reposting some early Qs I saw come through 😊

Our one-hour #AskEditor sessions continue today! Pop on with any of your questions. They can be related to #revpit or they can be more general editing/publishing questions. Tuesday's sessions are: @azali-avenger.bsky.social @kelleyeditorial.bsky.social @raqueledits.bsky.social

Yay love talking about my book! Nefarious Enterprises was originally a short story I submitted for a contest. It lost, but I was so so glad because that meant I could turn it into a novel It’s grim-cozy, like Nightmare Before Christmas. There’s mundane magic. Criminal Overlords are the “rulers”

Hi #RevPit fam. You have all read my MSWL by now & I'm sure you have some questions. Let's talk a bit more about what I mean when I say I work with safe-for-work fiction for all ages. I work with books written for #Adults, #NewAdults, #YoungAdults (teenagers), #MiddleGrade, and younger.

Hey, Revelers, the submission window has reached its final twenty-four hours. Tick-tock! #RevPit 🕰️

I’m just gonna post all my favorite graphics for my cozy fantasy during #RevPitWaiting #RevPit 😌 Here’s a Comp Map to start off with (I also comp Swordheart ⚔️ and Violet Thistlewaite is not a Villain Anymore, but I couldn’t fit them in)

So many adult and fantasy submissions. Let’s see if our #RevPit peeps can raise those #MiddleGrade and #YoungAdult numbers.

Done! I submitted my adult cozy fantasy into #RevPit 🙈 Now we wait 👀

I am officially OPEN TO QUERIES!! And I'm back on QueryManager 😍

It looks like it might be early May before I reopen to queries. While you wait, I've updated my Manuscript Wishlist & included tools I hope will help you as you polish off your projects for me or other agents. www.tinyurl.com/cathiesmswl

Oh I love this! Meet the Writers of #RevPit I write adult SFF in both the quirky and the macabre, inspired by the quiet, cryptic, and forgotten🖤 For #RevPit I’ll be entering my Cozy Fantasy, which I’d describe as Nightmare Before Christmas meets Assistant to the Villain

Finished this audiobook on my drive home last night (it ruined me 😭). It is now the main comp title for A Malignant Game, just add body horror from magical ailments and other magical beings.

The #revpit sub window opens TOMORROW, so let's take a look at what's ahead. This year (our 10th!), we have 16 participating editors, which means: GRAND PRIZE: 16 free developmental edits RUNNERS-UP PRIZE: 16 free 1-on-1 coaching sessions with Jennifer Conoley of @thececoaches.bsky.social 1/3

Hi #RevPit! Do you have an agent’s guide or an aesthetic? I’d love to see it 👀

“Devereux perched on the edge of a leather bench in front of the massive organ. Head thrown back, eyes closed as his long fingers glided across the keys. He’d rolled his sleeves up to his elbows, revealing his sinewy forearms. I couldn’t tear my gaze away from him.” Nefarious Enterprises

Writers beware!

Oh no 😭💔
