We have reports of the FIRST known offer of rep by a literary agent has been received due to #DVpit 2025! Less than 2 weeks is so fast, but is proof that the marginalized voices that participated are needed in publishing! We are so proud of everyone who put their work out there! #booksky #writersky

Anybody need edits? I can edit for cheap based on budget. I found out I will be getting a laptop screen extender and a lap desk because my lupus is bad, and I need to be able to work at my stable job during the week without being at my desk. I can work this weekend! #editorforhire #editor

When your lupus decides to make your joints painful, swell, and fatigued, guess it's time to write since I can't work at my desk😭 Trying to find the silver lining lol

Perfect writing setting: it’s raining outside and is chilly, but you’re inside, sitting in your writing armchair, writing away (or reading!)😍

Reading fast is my superpower. I read 3 books in a week🙈🫣
October 13, 2025 at 8:13 PM
The way lupus has really just made me feel horrible for weeks now. I promise to get my #DVPit pitches sent soon, but I gotta take care of myself. ❤️‍🩹😭

If you feel like hiring an editor for your book, query package, etc., please consider me (5 yrs editing experience, BAs in English/Creative Writing)—I’m feeling unwell from lupus and have to rest so I could use the extra pay! I’m flexible w/ prices!
