Day 7: Editor Shout-Out Sunday is a day of worship for me and my family, so I’m posting early! Working with @ashpreads.bsky.social has been phenomenal! She listens to my ideas, values my work, and cares deeply about my future readers. I am so grateful for her wisdom and guidance. Thank you, Ash!

Day 6: How I Became a Writer I loved “writing books” when I was little (a.k.a. drawing pictures and having my mom write the words) and have always wanted to try writing for real! During the 2020 shutdown, I finally wrote my first novel. I’ve been writing, editing, and brainstorming ever since!

June 5th- Opening Line "Under the blazing Fresnel lights, Lord Henry and Basil argued." Anyone recognize what play/novel these two are from? 👀 #Revpit #amrevising #YAhorror #wip

Day 5: First or Favorite Line Poor Dilla. She’s got beef with some very specific things in life, and she just can’t seem to escape them!

#RevPit 2026! I'm excited to introduce Chemical Solutions for Lonely Hearts, a sci-fi romcom with real chemistry. If Ali Hazelwood and Andy Weir co-wrote a novel, it might be this tale of two awkward scientists who must put aside their mutual dislike to save the world from mass starvation.

After a few weeks of edits during which I cut 5K words and replaced them with 5K BIGGER and BETTER words, I'm very excited to tap my new cider...er...release my new manuscript...into the query trenches at the #RevPit Showcase on June 8th! Join me? #amquerying #writingcommunity
