While waiting for Agent feedback, I thought I’d share some exciting news! I will be studying abroad as a Jeremy Bentham Scholar at Oxford University this fall 🇬🇧 #oxfordexchange #literature #classics #internationalrelations #studyabroad #oxford #academics #booksky #traveler #education #explorer

Anyone else in the same boat of emotional anxiety while writing??? #booksky #writersofbluesky #authorsofbluesky #writingcommunity #authorsky

Attended the Seattle Writing Conference, pitched 3 amazing agents & all 3 asked for pages of my adult fantasy manuscript!!!! #amquerying #writingcommunity #agentguide #writersofbluesky #writersky #authorsky #booksky

Welp back to querying. I’m grateful for #revpit offering a reprieve from the trenches & although I feel rejuvenated & confident in my edits, I am beyond ready to start writing my new WIP. MEDICI X BRIDGERTON in this 14th century Florentine-inspired romance. #writersky #writingcommunity #booksky

Marginalized creators! Polish up those manuscripts, #DVPit returns October 2025 on bluesky with over 40 participating agents and editors! #booksky #writersky

Are all the #revpit #10queries being sent out this week only?

Gentle reminder: when amidst writers block about pirates take yourself on a picnic to the closest body of water. #revpitwaiting #writingcommunity #fantasy #pirates #anthology #shortstory #onadeadline #sendhelp

#revpitwaiting Oh man, so many people. This community is so fun! @jenichappelle.bsky.social was SO helpful for me as a newbie with her patience and explanations, @racquel-sims.bsky.social for anxiety commiseration and #10queries analysis, and @ambucsaru.bsky.social for THIS post schedule! 🥰 TY!

Today editors will be sending over their winner, and runner up, making the ending of #revpit this weekend much more surreal. It's been a hoot, and I don't think I've ever obsessed over social media updates as much as I have with this contest. Thank you for increasing my #writingcommunity 🫶🫶🫶

Excuse me while I go swoon over Perrin Aybara being the absolute leader he is! ❤️‍🔥🫶🏾 #thewheeloftime season 7 slappppped!!! The Battle of Two Rivers was perfect inspiration before I dive into some edits this weekend. #writingcommunity #wheeloftime #fantasy #writersky #booksky

#revpit #revpitwaiting

Curiously wondering how #revpit winners are announced. Is there a post first, does the winner get a quick email prior or should we be obsessing over the refresh button on Monday? @reviseresub.bsky.social This has been an epic contest and I’m so sad it’s close to ending!! ❤️‍🩹

With #RevPit announcements coming up, I NEED to stress this: you're amazing. You wrote an entire book. A book readers will eventually love. And not being selected does not change either of those things. I touched on it yesterday, but I want to emphasize what us editors are looking for:

Do I want a PhD or am I just bored ??? #writingcommunity #continuededucation #booksky #writersofbluesky

Me trying to solve every #10queries from one of my chosen editors! 😂 #revpit

When it’s your turn to read through one of your chosen editors #10queries and dissect each word, hunting for clues. ATP #revpitwaiting has us writers acting like CIA agents 😂

A part of me is squealing with joy over each #revpit editor pie chart because us fantasy writers showed up & showed out!!! 🗡️❤️‍🔥✨🗝️📚 The other part of me is realizing that the FANTASY WRITERS SHOWED UP & SHOWED OUT 🪦 #writingcommunity #booksky #revpitteasers #fantasywriters #authorsky

I hope everyone can hear King Julian's voice because that is my only thought at the moment. #revpitwaiting #revpitteasers #revpitteaser #10queries #writingcommunity #booksky #authorsky #writersky

Ah, today I worked on my short story, unpacked my house, and painted/put together a DIY coffee bar. I finally decided to relax and reward my #revpitwaiting just to see if there were any new #revpitteasers or #revpitteaser or #10queries. Looks like the editors are deep in our worlds! *sigh*

Lord! If this is what #10Queries will be like with ALL the editors, us authors are in for some lessonssss!!!! Thank you so much @jenichappelle.bsky.social 🫶🫶🫶 Super informative and certainly makes you think of your own pages and what to change or if you're spot on! #revpitwaiting #revpit #queries

Another day of refreshing my feed often for #revpitteasers and #10queries

I’m absolutely thrilled to reveal the cover of THE KING MUST DIE, my new science fantasy novel about found family, revolution, and second chances. The incredible artist, Eleonor Piteira, included so many little details from the book! Out from @sagapressbooks.bsky.social this October!

Forcing myself to close out my BlueSky tab for the next two hours to get some writing done on this short story is one of the hardest things I've done today. 😂 #revpitwaiting #RevPitTeasers #writingcommunity

How am I supposed to grade papers when #RevPitTeaser & #RevPitTeasers are dropping delicious golden teasers from their #revpit submissions??? Annnndddd this will last for hooooow long again? 🫠🫠🫠 #revpitwaiting

The sad end of my travels means I’m back hungrily devouring all the posts and comments for the #askeditor Thanks to my fellow writers for asking all the question I had as well && thank you editors for all the amazing answers!!! #revpit #booksky #writingcommunity #writerspfbluesky

Amsterdam to Belgium - a city as sweet as their chocolate. I explored 12th and 13th century cathedrals, palaces, cobblestone streets & generational stores. Storing away the pictures, history and memories for some much needed inspiration! #revpitwaiting #writingcommunity #booksky #travel #writers

From Iceland to Amsterdam 🇳🇱 gathering some interesting ideas for a new WIP. Think heists, diverse cast of characters, Six of Crows type 🔑🪙 #revpitwaiting #writersofbluesky #booksky #writingcommunity #writingbluesky

The best way to fix the anxious tick while #revpitwaiting is just leave the country entirely 😂😂😂 Just landed in Iceland! 🇮🇸 hoping to get some writing done instead of doom scrolling for updates. #revpit #writingcommunity #booksky #travelers #writersky

I know this has probably been answered but I’ve been traveling and moving all weekend so I might have missed the answer. What exactly are the First Readers? #RevPitWaiting and why do the editors have to wait for them again? @reviseresub.bsky.social #writingcommunity #revpit #writersofbluesky

CHILDREN OF BLOOD & BONE x SERPENT & DOVE Four individuals must stop the King of Arkan from unleashing Ukoron, the god of chaos, and ensure The Great Rise does not tear their country in two. 🗡️ enemies to lovers 🖤 found families 🔒 forced proximity 🎭 secret identities #LuckyPit #PopUpPitA #A #F

The fun isn’t over! #AskEditor sessions start TOMORROW! Have burning questions about picking subs, editing, revising, or something else? Watch the #AskEditor hashtag tomorrow and follow our editors 👇🏻 #RevPit #writingcommunity #writersky

Parent/Teacher conferences all day at school means writing breaks in between meetings. I'm in a 17-day time crunch to submit my pirate short story to a Dragon Soul Press anthology publishing in June!!! #writingcommunity #blueskywriters #fantasy

I’ve officially submitted to #RevPit & I now can tell my students how excited and terrifyingly nervous I am before we dive into Composition II. Where they are equally as nervous about their research papers due to me very soon 😈 at least I get some fun out of their anxiety! @reviseresub.bsky.social

I’m focusing on two short stories I plan on submitting this month. One is to the exciting anthology @demimschwartz.bsky.social (fellow editor) is working on. Kaleidoscope Quill: An Inspiring Butterfly Anthology. Definitely check out her page for submissions fellow writers!!! 🦋🦋

I’m moving into a new house this weekend & started bringing over the essentials to unpack. *cough cough* these ARE the essentials 📚📚📚 Did I say yes to the house for the built in bookshelves and fire place … yes, yes I did 🤭 #readers #writersofbluesky #fiction #books

Give me all the adventures, romance, friendships and found families with a heavy dose of unique magic systems! 🖤 #fantasy However, historical fiction also intrigues me. One of my WIP is a 14th century Florentine-Inspired romance. ❤️‍🔥Enemies to lovers 💍Marriage of convenience 🗡️Find the killer

How I’m waiting for the #RevPit submissions to open after an exciting week of #MeetTheEditor. @reviseresub.bsky.social Thank you to all the editors involved & who answered so many questions with excitement 😊🫶🏾📚 #epicfantasy #writingcommunity #querying #reviseandresub #bookskywriters

So excited for #MeetTheEditors this week! It'll be my first time submitting to #RevPit and I've heard so many great testimonies & stories! @reviseresub.bsky.social #blueskywriters #fantasy #writingcommunity #editingtips #bookcommunity

I am so excited to announce that I will be participating as an editor for the #revpit writing contest for the 3rd year in a row!!! ✨✨✨ Tune in on #Bluesky this Tuesday @4:30 pm EST for my #MeettheEditors event. Make sure to check out our other awesome #reviseresub editors too! Happy writing!

🚨 New Interview! 🚨 I chatted with 2024 RevPit Winner Kelly Malacko about her experience in the Revise & Resub annual novel revision contest! 🏆📖 Want to know how she prepared, what she learned, and her advice for future contestants? Watch now! 🎥👇 📺 youtu.be/EDTu8FUeqM8 #RevPit

Listen, I love all the mainstream and NYT best sellers. Give me the Batboys, dragon riders, royal tournaments etc any day. But, my soul is craving to see & read about novels or series from amazing underrated authors who are perhaps not as active on SM or have the largest fan base. They’re treasures💛

A question for agents, editors & all who received their own feedback. @bsky.app What are your thoughts on multiple POVs? I’m in the middle of developmental revisions & I’m contemplating on taking my manuscript from 4 to 3 POVs. #newadult #fantasy #querying #revisions #lineedits #pacing #plotting

Every new query is a beginning—one brimming with infinite potential. No matter how rough the trenches have been, you could be a submission away from the email that changes your life, so don't you DARE stop now.

I just received some amazing feedback form an agent! Now, it's time to revise and fix the holes in my manuscript. Rejection only makes your story stronger! 😅

Tigest Girma’s debut IMMORTAL DARK has me in an absolute chokehold!!! What’s not to love?? 🖤 Black characters ❤️‍🔥forced proximity 🗡️ Enemies to lovers 🩸Vampirreeeesss 📚 Dark Academia ❤️‍🩹 Complex FMC Nooooo questions on how it’s become a NYT so quickly! Give me book 2 NOW!!!

HEIR OF NIGHT #agentsguide tropes: 💖 Adult Romantasy 👩‍❤️‍👨 Dual POV 🖤 Rivals to lovers 🫂 Found family 🏠 Forced proximity 📖 Buried history 🤬 Feminine rage 👑 Disguised royalty 🗡️ Touch her and die 🦅 Sidekicks with MC energy 🐦‍🔥 Mythology ☠️ A deadly competition 🏜️ Non-Euro-style setting 🙃 Trope flipping 💍 HEA

According to a 2023 survey, only 5.3% of published authors are Black. So reading, buying, borrowing, and chatting about Black books is super important! Here’s a stack of all the Black-authored books I physically own. #booksky #diversebooksky
