Hi Revelers! It’s time for my #MeetTheEditor session. Here’s my intro video to get started. Yes, I love butterflies. 🦋 #RevPit

When I submitted to #RevPit last year, I was curious about what happened to the previous year’s winners. In the comments below, a few folks from the 2025 cohort have reflected on their experience! We'd love to hear stories from others as well! #reviseandresubmit #revpitcommunity

Time to start off my #MeetTheEditor session! I’m excited to chat with you all about my MSWL, editing process, interests, hobbies, whatever comes to mind.

Just realized this is the 1st year in 3 I won't be entering (for good reasons). Apart from all the craft and industry info imparted ever so generously, this event helped give me keep deadlines, set goals, nurture dreams, and live inside of hope! @miranda-darrow.bsky.social🙏 #RevPit #WritingCommunity

Good morning! I’m caffeinating here for my #MeetTheEditor chat. All week, the #RevPit editors have been showing off their impressive skills and knowledge, and now it’s my turn. I just sold my turnips for 455 bells, so that should impress at least 4-5 of you. Who’s hanging out with me today?

Hi, #RevPit crew!! Happy Wednesday and hope you're having an awesome day 🎉 Super excited to back again for another season of RevPit! Let's get my #MeetTheEditor session started! Drop any questions you might have below, and I'll also attach an intro thread ☺️🧵 #WritingCommunity

It's time for my #MeetTheEditor session! Reply to this thread to ask about my MSWL, editing style, genre preferences, likes/dislikes, or anything else. If I don't get to your question today, I'll answer tomorrow. #RevPit @reviseresub.bsky.social

#RevPit pro tip: If you missed an editor's #MeetTheEditor chat, you can still @ them with questions about their MSWLs, RevPit, or whatever else

Good morning #writingcommunity! (It is still morning, right?) Welcome to my #RevPit #MeettheEditor thread! Please feel free to ask me questions about what I'm reading, how I edit, my #MSWL or any other questions you might have.

Hi everyone! I'm Kala—resident iced coffee drinking, probably feral raccoon. I hope you're ready for the annual contest this year! #RevPit Welcome to my #MeetTheEditor post @reviseresub.bsky.social

Hi #WritingCommunity! Welcome to my #RevPit #MeetTheEditor thread. Feel free to ask questions at any time (if I don't get to them today, I will tomorrow). I had a computer incident earlier (OneDrive deleted my Documents & it took my hubby hours to fix), so I lost my prep time & this may be choppy.

Hi #WritingCommunity ! My #RevPit #MeetTheEditor will begin at 4pm Eastern today. I’ll be telling you a bit more about my wish list and answering questions if you have any :) You can preview my MSWL here - www.reviseresub.com/editors/laur...

Hello, #RevPit writers! It’s time for my #MeetTheEditor thread 💖 This is my second year as an editor with RevPit, and I’m so glad to be back. I'm eagerly awaiting your submissions. Got questions about my MSWL or editing process before you submit? Now’s the time to ask! @reviseresub.bsky.social

Hello, Authors, and welcome to my favorite season of the year – #RevPit Season! Spring (in the Northern Hemisphere) is, IMHO, the best of all seasons, especially after the winter we’ve endured in Minnesota. And the RevPit 2025 Annual Contest is Spring’s highlight. #MeetTheEditor

Less than one week until the #RevPit #MeetTheEditor sessions kick off. I'm busy getting my GIFs all organized for the big reveal. @reviseresub.bsky.social Check the schedule so you can catch all 17 editor sessions "live" on Bluesky! reviseresub.com/annual-conte...

It's RevPit season! Editor MSWLs are up and nosy-little-me is scanning them all. You should too. And writers, don't self-reject. RevPit and its community have had a profound impact on my writing. Put your work out there. I'm cheering for you!

Morning, all! With #RevPit editor announcements coming out in a few minutes, let’s take a moment to talk about RevPit, the annual contest, and the editors. I’m a co-founding editor and board member, and it’s really exciting to be celebrating our TENTH annual contest. Like…WHAT? How?
