Packing for #CampRevPit because I wanna connect with more #MGwriters! I think the only things I will need are marshmallows and a notebook... There! All packed. 😎

Applause and pats on the back to everyone in #revpitwaiting! We did a thing! Go us!! What an experience for a first time rev-pitter (?)! My experience of this corner of the writing community was so inspiring and uplifting and joyful even in the agonizing waiting 🤩

👀👀👀

These colors are luxurious!

Shoutout to @catburgess.bsky.social my cheerleaderiest, plotter-extraordinaire CP who said “do it you won’t regret it” when I mentioned submitting to #RevPit and taught me the ways of #RevPitWaiting. & please, always keep my favorite character in your book 🌿😬

Thanks for sharing! Very helpful!

Here’s Garfunkel! I was looking for an emotional support animal, but ended up becoming his emotional support human…

Eee! I was hoping #revpit would reveal some more MG writers! This is my first year; I subbed a MG contemporary with a splash of magical realism 🧜🏼‍♀️
love the vibe of your WIP!

That’s such a good one!

-Hope was Here by Joan Bauer. that’s how I learned how to take the sting out of chopping onions, and admire sentences.
-Peter Pan by JM Barrie.
The narrator is so snotty.
-The Penderwicks by Jeanne Birdsall ✨ perfect summer magic. Batty + Hound forever.

As an author AND an editor, do you have any routines/tricks that get you into the editing mindset? I’m collecting tips and tricks as I switch from drafting to editing — such different parts of the brain for me!

Cool concept cool title!

Me too! I love all the different versions of them; like Christina Henry’s adult fic creepy imagining, down to the whimsical Emily Windsnap series for MG. For my own story, it was fun to use only their bones 🧜🏼‍♀️ to make them scientifically plausible in the real world.

“…and having to wake up early.” 😆

Gah that comp combo sounds 👌🏼

Very cool! I am more of a lowkey kayaker - I practice floating lazily.

😅what manner of kayaking is this? It sounds intense! Diving and rolling?!

This does sound like a delightfully full and happy life. I’m so excited for the weather to warm up so I can go on my first kayak adventure of the spring!

Hi #RevPitWaiting! 👋 When I’m not writing #MiddleGradeFiction I’m doing all the cozy hobbies. Baking the doughs. Knitting the yarns. Walking the paths and trails. Sipping the hot beverages. Doing the puzzles. Reading the books. Allll the booksss.
Looking forward to making some new friends!

Intrigued 👀 if he could stop puking, how would he save them?

Allegory! Alternate reality! I’d pick that up!

A girl driven by logic and scientific principles is the only one who can prove mermaids are real by finding a hidden fossil. #middlegrade #MG

That is so neat! One of my favorite books growing up was epistolary - Sorcery and Cecilia by Patricia Wrede ✨ and a real life pen pal? Goals, right there.

Titles are so tricky!!

Ooh fun! #revpitwaiting is much better than just plain waiting sans hashtag!

I write MG and dabble across subgenres. Contemporary, historical, slightly magical, mysterious…all or some of those. I love quiet, quirky characters who take big risks ✨
