for the last day of the #revpit showcase countdown, i'd like to thank my lovely editor @leahrambadt.bsky.social ! firstly, thank you so much taking a chance on my manuscript. it genuinely means a lot that you chose it. 1/5

my late day 6 post for the #revpit showcase countdown, haha! how i started writing: i don't really have a glamorous origin for writing. i started out writing guro fic as a kid. in hindsight, it was likely because i grew up in a really bad and violent neighborhood and used writing as an outlet.

😭🥹💛 it was honestly just my privilege and honor to work on this project with @katiebhudson.bsky.social #RevPit

Day 7: Thank your editor! I'm so thankful for @dcmdraper.bsky.social! While I was struggling to view my manuscript from a wider lens, she was able to help me see where I needed to go for the story to reach its full potential. Everyone should work with her: www.dcmdraper.com! #RevPit #amwriting

#revpit showcase countdown day five! i'm late tho lmao. highkey forgot bc i was watching the knicks game 😅 i have a lot of favorite lines from wretched, but this one gets a laugh out of me every time

graphic of a beige background with some text on it. red borders on the top and the bottom. text has three paragraphs with the first and third paragraph nearly fading into the background and the second paragraph in red. text reads

"What are you doing, why do you keep doing that?" Diosanto had the gall to sound exasperated with her.

"I'm trying to activate every single mental illness I have at once," Leia said. "Hoping it'll somehow cancel out my experience of reality and render me catatonic, even for just a single second."

Better to have loved and lost than never loved at all, or however that quote went. In Leia's case, it was better to have gone into a one-second coma and know true peace than to get the full brunt of her present situation.

Footer at the bottom has the title "Wretched Geniuses"

I (and pretty sure I can speak for the other #RevPit editors here as well) would be happy to work with any of the writers who subbed to me. There are many reasons that go into picking shortlists, including how much we feel we can accomplish within the timeframe of the contest. 1/5

I have been considering hiring an editor, but my concern is that if an editor I was interested in didn’t even shortlist my book, should I take that as meaning they’re not interested in working on it? Ideally I’d like to work with someone who does connect with my work to some extent at least.

I want to clarify that #RevPit #10Queries is not the same as the top 10. Editors pick subs for 10Queries based on feedback that can benefit any writer. There may be overlap with top picks, but it's necessarily not a direct correlation. Several of my shortlist were not in my 10Queries and vice versa.
