Good morning, Campers! 🏕️ #CampRevPit is coming to an end soon. We hope you had lots of fun, met new friends and put down some words! On the last day of camp, #ShoutOut a writer friend who's inspired you, helped you along your journey, or just been a great Camp buddy. 👏

On a grassy green hill beneath a starry night sky, the caterpillar nibbles on a tree while the mantis and the firefly work on their stories. The mantis lays in the grass writing in her journal with a fountain pen and her very tall stack of papers beside her. The firefly sits in the branches of the tree with a laptop. The firefly’s butt is glowing brightly so the mantis can see to write.

Happy last day of #CampRevPit! I've had a great time being your counselor! Thank you for replying to my (sometimes silly) prompts.❤️ Today's #CRPfireflies prompt: What's the plan for your project once it's finished (and/or edited)? Querying? Self-pub? Unsure? (For more fun, check out #ABCPit next!)

If you're on the fence about whether to sign up for #CampRevPit, allow me to give you a nudge. I pushed my awkward, social-media-shy self to join last year and it ended up being my favourite part of #RevPit! I found friends, CPs, and community. This is where writers find their people!

#CampRevPit is 1st page swaps, positivity passes, and community prompts. It’s all run by authors from the #RevPit community because the editors are all in our editing caves. It’s definitely a nice way to come down from the chaos of the annual contest + make some great connections with other writers

I have amended my pipe-dream writing goal from “Publish 10 books” to “publish at least one of my books before I die”, which seems much more reasonably achievable. 😶‍🌫️😄

If you aren’t quite ready to give up rhe #RevPit community yet, signups start tomorrow, and everyone is invited #CampRevPit

WELCOME TO PREVIEW WEEK! While we're waiting for our winners, let's go over what you need for camp. 1st- What is #CampRevPit? #CampRevPit came out of the 2020 Annual Contest when mental health was suffering and was an idea for how to help writers cope with rejection after winners were announced.

Very wise words. It can feel so hard to put our work out for judgement or critique - a lot of feelings are involved. I always surprise myself with how many feels I have post- #RevPit each year, and this is my 6th year submitting! Losing a contest doesn’t mean you or your book have any less value. ❤️

As winners are going to be announced this afternoon, I want to take a minute to talk about losing a contest like #RevPit. Real talk—the majority of people who submit will not win an edit, because there are many more subs than editors. 1/7
