What I'm reading this week: FIEND by Alma Katsu @almakatsu.bsky.social After @annahirsch.bsky.social recommended it to me, I borrowed it on libby and I'm loving it so far! Definitely a comp for the manuscript that I'm currently drafting. www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/734363... #BookSky

In CHEMICAL SOLUTIONS FOR LONELY HEARTS, two awkward scientists must overcome their mutual dislike to save the world. #QueerPit #A #RC #SF - Mistaken identities - Enemies to lovers - Fake dating - Black cat and porcupine - Explosive chemistry (both kinds)

Just for fun, have the #editorsguide for SCULPTOR OF THE WINDS, pitched as: Pirates of the Caribbean but if Elizabeth was a bisexual mage caught in a love triangle between Will Turner and a murderous lesbian sea monster. #queerpit #A #F #R #FR #AG #OS soon 👀

I had the privilege of beta reading this and it's exactly as unhinged as you think. #birates for lifeee

Was horror your first love? I started out writing fantasy before figuring out I mainly liked to write the creepy parts. #CRPNightcrawlers #CampRevPit

Covenant of the Damned (119k rom. fantasy) in microtropes! When the Lord she’s sworn to protect is poisoned, a headstrong guard reluctantly allies with a loathsome king to find the Holy Grail before the Lord dies or the relic falls into the hands of evil sorcerers. #Q #RF #F #A #QuestPit

Swap check-in, #CRPNightcrawlers! If you have not heard back from your swap please DM me!

Revise & Resub@reviseresub.bsky.social · 4mo ago

🏕️ REMINDER TIME🏕️ If you are swapping your query or pages and have NOT heard from your partner, please let your counselor know at this time. If you are planning to reach out ASAP but haven't done so, also let your counselor know.

🥾 🏕️ 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.

Happy Tuesday, #CRPNightcrawlers! Today, let's celebrate where all your amazing ideas come from. #CampRevPit

Just signed up! Made some goals! Here's to #CampRevPit 2025! 🌲🏕️✏️🌲

The comments I leave myself while brain dead... this is why I shouldn't edit at night

Rise and shine, it's Trope Sunday! Today let's get into all the delicious genre stuff that we all love to read and write. #CRPNightcrawlers #CampRevPit

I read NOTHING BUT BLACKENED TEETH (Cassandra Khaw, Adult Horror - Novella) yesterday, and it was a fun ride! Today I'm starting SUNDIAL (Catriona Ward, Adult Horror) and reading through @annahirsch.bsky.social 's first pages. (Anna's book is phenomenal. I can't wait for it to get picked up!!)

#CampRevPit I hope your #CRPCabinRaid was successful today. If not, its not too late for a sneak attack, especially under the cover of night. Let us know if you're here and what you're working on, then get ready to run. Our warm up sprint starts at :05.
