Gearing up for #camprevpit 2026, and I totally forgot to mention that one of the short stories I developed through prompts and activities in last year's #CRPWizardWasps cabin got sold and published in October. This year's camp starts on 4/11. Last year was great, let's make this year even better!
I just Zoom chatted with my #RevPit winner @jackieyap.bsky.social so excited to work with her. I have sent emails to my #10Queries winners, so check your email (or spam filters) back to Monday when I started dropping them. Thank you, authors, for submitting to the annual contest. Subs were 🔥

It's finally here! Time to announce our 2026 #RevPit Annual Contest winners and runners-up! reviseresub.com/showcase/rev...
Editor Miranda Darrow @miranda-darrow.bsky.social will work with Jackie Yap @jackieyap.bsky.social on ISABELLE GOMEZ IS INNOCENT, SHE SWEARS (YA Mystery) #RevPit
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
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.
I just saw this post by Erin Niumata that shows how to draft a more specific query blurb. It focuses on mystery but applies across genres: erinniumata.substack.com/p/query-lett...

Greetings, Revelers, and welcome to my 2026 #RevPit #10Queries thread. I'm kicking off my first session now, but will attempt to thread my future sessions so people can find all of my posts together - that's my plan 🤷♀️ First, some hashtag shortcuts #MG = Middle Grades #YA = Young Adult #A = Adult

As soon as I refresh my tea, I'll be back online posting my first #RevPit #10Queries session for the 2026 annual contest!!!!
I'm emerging from my editing cave to drop some #RevPitTeaser posts and to give the early warning signal for my first 10Queries session coming soon (see the end of this thread). So, buckle up for some hints about the trends I'm seeing and loving in my subs: And a GIF from Younger - loved that show
