Hi friends! Important update. I’ll be reopening to full manuscripts on December 12 at 10 am eastern. So, if you’ll have a book ready for feedback by the end of the year, I would love to work with you. I’ll be booking from January through early March because of #RevPit, so space will be limited. 💎💜
Recently, someone asked me how to find writing groups and feedback from people who aren’t family members or close friends, so I thought I’d dedicate a post about it!
Thought I'd share some info on how specifics in your query letter can really make your query stand out!
Anyone available to critique a query letter? #booksky #romantasy #query
🥀Ann Devon is writing🥀@anndevon.bsky.social · 5mo agoA runaway sea witch strikes a deal with a cursed lord—offering to lead him to the fabled Knife of Echoes, a relic fueled by love-blood sacrifice. With a ruthless king hunting them, they must decide what—and who—they’re willing to lose to survive. #POSTERPIT #R #F #W #FT #A
My daughter told me that she was "bragging" to all her friends at school that her mom is going to have books in bookstores one day. 🥹 So sweet how much she believes in me. 💕
Wow! So many incredible posters for innovative design! Please take a look at the nominations and consider voting for my sea witch romantasy poster. Thank you!!! #posterpitch #booksky

For me, someone’s worth in publishing is NOT defined by how far they are on their journey. Everyone matters equally. We’re all on our own paths, but chasing similar dreams, and it’s not a race.
My dad bought my daughter a karaoke machine, and...well...yeah. It's huge.
I’m going to talk about having an author vision for your story.
Agents usually ask for sample pages with your query, most often the first five or ten pages. The golden advice is to be super aware of how your fifth and tenth pages end.
Happy New Year, #PosterPit people! We hope your 2026 is a grand one, and we hope to see you premiere during this year's pitch event! As always, #PosterPit will occur on the 3rd Saturday in April, and the full schedule for our 2026 event is listed below. More news to come 👀🍿
Spoke to mom today, and I happened to mention that I've been working on my romantasy series a lot this week. She actually asked me how many books (PLURAL) I've completed this week. Completed over ONE WEEK! This is what I'm up against folks. #booksky #writer #writerslife
In a lot of queries I’ve read, not only during the contest, but for clients and during my agent internship, too, I’ve noticed that the character’s internal journey is often fuzzy, or left out completely. What do I mean?
Hi, #TeamAmethyst and #RevPit gems, welcome to my #AskEditor session. 1. Feel free to ask anything about writing, editing, and publishing. 2. All opinions are my own. 3. If you miss this live or have more questions after the hour, you can still reply. 4. If you see typos, no you don’t! Let’s go. 💜💎

My daughter is prepping for a talent show, and I'm nervous! She's doing a mini musical theatre version of "Journey to the Past." She nine and is vocally prepared thanks to her instructor. I still need to put together a costume. Any advice? #Parents #advice #musicaltheater
I'm looking forward to working on The Knife of Echoes later today. But first...the dreaded errands. Stupid grocery shopping. Do I reeeeeally need to stop at the bank? Boo. What project are you working on or what's getting in your way? Artwork is by the talented @sarakapadia.bsky.social
Look what just came in the mail!!!! Not only do these sound amazing, but I think Heartless Hunter *could* work as a comp for one of my projects. Technically it's for research so that makes adding to the tbr stack okay, right? #booksky
