Just started The Poppy War and holy cow, why haven’t I read this sooner? RF Kuang is a wonderful writer. From this to Yellowface? Incredible range.

as we get closer to #RevPit announcement time, here are some important reminders:
✨️ sharing your work is brave
✨️ the contest (and ALL of publishing) is super subjective
✨️ "best manuscript wins" is not a thing
✨️ you are unique and exceptional in ways only you can be
happy #RevPit day 💛

New Substack post! For those who don’t know, I’m a psychologist by day, and have a Substack where I talk about writing and mental health. This newsletter is a slight departure from my usual posts- it has notes on how I think about character instead.
