Ex-professional ballet dancer turned writer (they/she). I’ve had three great loves in my life: dancing, writing, and being queer. I’ve written (and #amquerying) a novel, The Fire Years, that includes all three. ❤️🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
Right now just writing friends! I’m sorry, I didn’t even clock the CP part of your post! Not sure you’d want these reading comprehension skills on your work. 🤣🤦🏻. But I’m happy to meet you! Your book sounds awesome!!!

It’s definitely something I’m thinking about, hiring one of the #revpit editors! But at the moment, I’m enjoying the work on it myself. I might do two revision passes and *then* turn it over to a professional darling-killer. 🤩

I don’t want to be a bother, but is there an ETA on the feedback per chance?

Listen I KNOW I’m a good writer, a very good one, and I wrote a beautiful novel. And I wasn’t selected, wasn’t on anyone’s shortlist as far as I can tell, and I’m feeling deflated right now too. I think that’s so valid and normal. You’re not a hack. This shit’s hard. Feelings now. Tomorrow, work. ❤️
