The premise of this is so cool!

Congrats!! It really is so surreal 🎉

I'm so excited to work with @annadehwrites.bsky.social on SUCH MONSTROUS WANTS. I was immediately drawn in by her voice and the harrowing opening scene. I cannot wait to dive into the haunting world she's created.

#RevPit

You too! 🎉🎉

Waking up this morning I was an anxious ball of feelings. As a writer there are so many times you get excited to submit your work and hope it resonates. This time, it did! I’m so excited to work with Natasha! #revpit @natashahanova.bsky.social

Ahh I’m so excited to work with you Natasha!

Channels my main character’s angst, the specific feeling of being lost you only get as a young adult, and fighting literal and figurative monsters both in and around you. #revpit #revpitwaiting

It’s so hard to pick but I’ll go with my top three classics
1. Frankenstein
2. The Picture of Dorian Gray
3. Rebecca
(Forever a lover of all things monstrous and gothic)

YA horror romance where Insidious meets Monsters Inc!

After a ritual gone wrong lands a horror fan in a house of monsters, she must partner with an unlikely ally to help her find a way back home—the sleep paralysis monster who’s been haunting her for years.
He’s a nightmare in more ways than one.

That sounds so cool! I teach middle schoolers and I know just how much they’d like reading a story like that :)

We’re cut from the same speculative cloth! :)

Just submitted to #revpit for the first time! Who else submitted and are there any other YA horror writers applying? Bonus points if there’s also romance 👀 you are my people.

Oh and it’s a YA horror romance I’m pitching as insidious meets monsters INC! Just for reference :)

Thanks for this!

After a ritual gone wrong lands a horror movie fan in a terrifying house of monsters, she must partner with an unlikely ally to help her find a way back home—the very same sleep paralysis monster who’s been haunting her for years.

And he’s a nightmare in more ways than one.

Hi Laura!
I’m always curious about how much a revpit editor reads of a manuscript before making their choice. With so many entries I can’t imagine an editor reads them all at length. Do you go by an initial hunch in the earlier chapters/synopsis or do you prefer to read through the entire MS?

Yeah that’s basically it! A full dev edit and a showcase after

Gearing up for this year’s #Revpit with my YA Horror Romance and forever hating writing a synopsis…what do you mean I can’t just write “if sleep paralysis demon why hot?” #writingcommunity

These comps are so fun! Would totally read this

I thought I was the only one useless at work today 😂

Love a friends to lovers trope! So underused
