One month into a total rewrite of my YA dystopia “The Rating,” and I’m so excited! It’s already so much stronger. Changed to present tense and did a total overhaul of worldbuilding! So much more timely! Can’t wait to requery 🥰

Huge thanks to my book coach! @tiffanygrimes.bsky.social

I’m also working on a YA dystopia! I was querying but have paused to do an overhaul ha! Would love to connect :)

I’ve decided to pause querying my YA dystopia for a month or two. A tough decision given how long I’ve already spend on writing/editing, but I have a feeling the manuscript needs a bit more perfecting 🥹 Hoping this decision will yield some positive results down the line! 😅🫶🏻

I’m always finding new agents to add to my list even after I spent weeks researching 🤣 Sub to QueryTracker emails. Check the MSWL tag here and on the MSWL website. :) Other than that I usually scroll through Bluesky “following” lists!

This event was awesome! Thanks so much Zed.

Thank you!! Of course! Feel free to DM me 😊🫶🏻

Got it! Thank you so much! 😊

Hi Nikki! Would you consider a YA grounded dystopia if it had some of your MSWL items?

Keep everything to one page is harder than it should be *eye twitches*

Would grounded dystopian fall under this MSWL? :)

And that’s all from me for #BluePit ! What an awesome day full of love from fellow writers! This is the most supported I’ve felt through the querying process and reminds me I’m not alone. We’re all in the trenches! Happy to read or review anything as a beta reader, and always around to chat. 🫶🏻📖

Thank you for your support! Best of luck :)

Totally agree! Sometimes it’s hard to keep going but hey, we finished a book! And that’s pretty awesome!

Love anything with romance, portals, and fantasy so this seems like such a vibe!

Really liking this moodboard!

Of course!! Best of luck :)

Anything with Hozier and Of Monsters and Men is sure to drag me in! Loving the vibes!

Congratulations!!

I have a YA dystopia (sadly doesn’t seem to fit your MSWL), but as a detail-oriented person I wanted to compliment your MSWL! So in-depth! A querying author’s dream 🫶🏻🤩

This premise is so cool! Also love that you included a playlist!!

Totally agree! 🩷

Soo good! Lmk what you think when you read it!!

As an F1 lover, this sounds absolutely sick!!

I hope you get a wonderful agent too! Love your pitch and thanks so much for your support through this :)

Totally agree! The massive wave of support was so nice 😊

Two great comps! This sounds like a good read!!

This premise is so cute! Best of luck :)
