Sorry. Got wrapped up in the excitement of this year’s revpit. That story is still just a draft and will definitely stay upper YA. But hopefully will be ready for next year!

My FT job is one of those silly ones where we are constantly circling back to a put a pin in the KPI to avoid boiling the ocean.
More importantly my wife and I play zoo keeper to this motley crew.
And when I can, I wake up before all of them so I can write about all the stuff I hope they get to do

This has me trying to figure out how much swearing, sex, and violence I need to take out of my current upper YA thriller/horror to make it MG.

Any chance it’s because you found a few rejections you’ve had a change of heart about? 😜

We are 12 months into this same journey with 7yo and 5yo. They sell box sets called “my 1st Pokémon battle” which are great for teaching them (and u) how the cards and game work. Then u will graduate very quickly to Pokémon Battle academy. They’ll be hooked in no time and u’ll know what’s going on

Hello!!! Just curious if your MG interests stray into action/adventure?

This is fantastic advice! Thanks so much! Also, I tried to DM you earlier and it looks like you might have them shut off.

Hi Joel! In your profile you mentioned that one of your specialties is maximizing mainstream appeal. So from that point of view… I’d love to know… who is ur favorite TMNT and why is it Donatello? Haha!
All kidding aside (which I rarely agree to) Thanks for participating! Can’t wait to submit!

Hi Caroline! I saw you were interested in adventure and time travel… does it have to be YA or are you excepting MG as well? Thanks!

Hello hello! Would you be a good fit for a MG action/adventure story with lots of humor, thrilling suspense (bone-chilling dungeons, exotic jungle chases, etc.) and a fun dose of magic? Thanks so much!

I can’t wait to send you my MG action/adventure story with a MC that is the personification of that pic! 🤣. He comes complete with a ready made list of excuses about how it was clearly someone else’s fault and a best friend/cousin who is always willing to help but not before a well deserved eyeroll

Hi Nicole! For this year’s #revpit are you exclusively looking to partner with women and/or underrepresented voices? (Asking for a friend with a middle grade action/adventure story… not the white middle aged man in my profile pic 🥸)

I get it. And I don’t normally spam nice people’s comments when they say something I disagree with (sorry about that 😜). It’s just in a world full of unbearably toxic and misogynistic alpha male douchebags doing their best to personify society’s worst fear about men… SG is actually trying to help.
