With heavy hearts, we are sad to share with the #RevPit community that we are losing one of our beloved editors and friends.

This year has given me so much anxiety already because I'm just taking risks and diving in. But it feels good, too.

You don't need AI as an indie author, you need community. You need people who can help you when you're burning out (and vice versa, importantly). Trade labor with each other, beta read for one another, connect with editors and cover artists. Teach & learn. Help promote one another.

My grounded fantasy, HEARTS (revising) was inspired by San Francisco, which I've always found beautiful
My speculative horror CLAY WIP (drafting) was inspired by Prague, specifically in the 1950s :) #FiFRevPit

From horror to fantasy to contemporary, setting is important, and can often become its own character. What inspired the setting for your story? #FiFRevPit #writersky #writingcommunity #writersofbluesky

Hey #MockPit -- a couple things I'm seeing:
1. we don't need the title in the pitch
2. make sure you learn and include the standard genre and age category abbreviations. this doesn't super matter for mockpit but does for pitch events!
Y'all are killing it with the aesthetics
