I told my CP all of my ideas that I wanted to tackle but couldn’t decide which one. She helped me make them work together. A speculative romance, set at the lake where the drowned town is, story with a short timeline, etc #crpnightcrawlers #camprevpit

The drowned town is based on a real place The demon blacksmith is inspired by my ancestor The story has a 24 hour timeline #crpnightcrawlers #camprevpit

🥾 🏕️ WELCOME TO QUERY BOOTCAMP 🏕️ 🥾 Day 1 is all about the query letter. We know an agent cares the most about the sample pages, but in today's landscape, you need to be good at every part of the package. Your query is the first impression. You need to make a good one.
