Writing community, I come to you for advice yet again. I got a full request after getting an R&R from another agent. I asked if they’d like to see the OG manuscript, or the R&R when it’s ready. How long do I wait to hear back before sending off the OG?

In the past week, after months of silence, I’ve received a free full developmental edit, become a RevPit finalist, gotten an R&R, and a full request. To say I’m freaking out is an understatement!!

Might not have won #RevPit, but the email I just received from one of my chosen editors about being one of their finalists made the experience even more worth it!!

Before a 'journey' that I've started is coming to an end, I like reminding myself of what I'm thankful for.
What good things have come from the journey. Things that I wouldn't have had if I didn't put myself out there to possibly experience disappointment.
[pls not me lol]

Hoping to keep querying my manuscript, WILDERWOOD, and try to finish the first draft of my WIP by June.

Even after #RevPit winners are announced, our writing journeys are far from over. We'll still be walking down our paths, just with upgraded tools thanks to the editors & our community.
So what's next for you?

Such a pantser. Trying to make the switch, because the editing phase on my last novel is never ending because of it, but outlining has never quite clicked for me.
#RevPitWaiting Day 24!
I might've pulled another switcheroo... There was a slight miscalculation on my part and I hadn't anticipated that virtually everyone talked about their hobbies in their personal intro.
So #RevPit ... the dreaded question:

#RevPitTeaser So, every year there are some unexpected trends, and based on my very limited sample, one seems to be trees? Like, there are a lot of stories that heavily feature trees. Which is cool! And not something I would've expected!

Hey fellow RevPitters! I’m a writer who can’t pick a lane and has far too many WIPs brewing. Beyond that, I’m a reader and like to bake. My dog is my #1 co-author.

When Quinton finds a dead body being devoured by a forest, he becomes a suspect in the murder. To clear his name, he must find the true killer. But as the forest begins growing within him, he questions if he’s as innocent as he’s trying to prove.
