Hi, Bluesky! My name is Larkin. I'm a 20-something author, completely and utterly consumed with writing things that would send my conservative grandmother into a coma.

Next #1stLinePit will take place:

🗓️ EVENT DAY: Saturday, April 5th
⏲️ EVENT START: 12.00 UTC

To find out what that means to you, Google:
🔍 12 UTC to [your city/area]

#WritingCommunity
#1stLinePit Rules: - A pitch event for writers to hype and support each other - All genres and all stages of writing are welcome (e.g. writing, editing, querying, on sub, already published) - Use #’s to specify genre and status of the book, see next slide for examples - Only one post per novel. If you have several novels, you can pitch them all, but only post once per hour - Share one or more of your opening lines in the body of your post—you should share no more than can fit into a post - Feel free to add moodboards, GIF’s, images, agent’s guide, or anything you want to your post - Agents/editors/publishers are invited to participate (just “like” any pitch you’re interested in) - Most important rule: comment, like, repost, and engage with others—and have fun! :D #1stLinePit – New Rule: Issue: During our last round of #1stLinePit, some agents commented that it was hard to determine their interest based only on the first few lines. Solution: This round, you must still share your first lines in THE BODY of you post, but you’re also allowed to share your pitch, agent’s guide, a link to a previous pitch, you’re entire first page, or anything you want in the attached images / moodboard. Examples of #Hashtags to use. (Feel free to use other hashtags, these are just examples.) Status of Work: #WIP = Work in progress #C = Complete #Q = Querying #OS = On submission #TP = Traditionally Published #SP = Self Published #IP = Indie Published Categories: #PB = Picture book #CB = Chapter book #MG = Middle grade #YA = Young Adult #A = Adult #NA = New Adult #SS = Short Story #GN = Graphic Novel Genres: #F = Fantasy #SF = Science Fiction #R = Romance #M = Mystery #H = Horror #T = Thriller #S = Suspense #P = Paranormal #LF = Literary Fiction #MEM = Memoir #NF = Non-Fiction #ADV = Adventure #ERO = Erotic #COM = Comedy #WF = Women’s Fiction #HF = Historical Fiction #SPF = Speculative Fiction #HR = Historical Romance #CON = Contemporary #RF = Romantasy #UF = Urban Fantasy #CZ = Cozy Feedback/Critique: #CMe (add only if you want people to give you feedback on your snippet) #CMe = Critique me If you want feedback/critique on your opening lines, add #CMe If you are giving critiques: - Be honest, but also kind and respectful - Be sure that #CMe is added to a post before giving feedback - Any post missing this hashtag: offer nothing other than love and support If you add #CMe to your post: - Have an open mind to the critique you receive - If you disagree, don’t argue or try to explain/defend your work—just say thank you and take to heart that someone interpreted your words differently than you intended - Don’t just wait for feedback—search for the #CMe hashtag and give critique to others too!
