Just a little #10Queries teaser... Most of you have been wrong about guessing which query is yours. Two of you have been right.

#RevPitTeasers

I just blew through these pages without even realizing it. Wow. What a strong start with a strong voice #RevPitTeasers

I said I liked a strong voice, and boy did you writers deliver in my subs this year. ❤️ #RevPit #RevPitTeasers #RevPitWaiting

I'm really happy to see some YA straying on the younger side with voices that feel fresh and genuinely like teens! #RevPitTeasers

#10queries feels a bit like reading horoscopes. You always want to twist the message into something that applies to you(r manuscript)

#revpit #revpitteasers #revpitwaiting

So many discussions about #RevPitTeaser and exciting #10Queries! Authors still guessing or hoping these stories are theirs and getting excited! I'm over here going - oh nope, so not me - but I'm sucking in the lessons anyway! Love this & am so glad to be here this week! #RevPitTeasers #RevPitWaiting

Hitting that inevitable streak where I want to work on so many of these.... so many promising hooks & stories #RevPitTeasers

#RevPitTeasers

#RevPitWaiting

big news, people, big news.

I am FINALIZING my (long) shortlists tonight.

#RevPitTeasers

LMAOOO this opening line was perfect. I wouldnt change a thing. I laughed out loud and I immediately felt connected to this teenage MC

#RevPitTeasers

the sheer number of dark academia fantasy subs in my YA list has me in an absolute choke hold

#RevPit writers, you have found my weakness.

#RevPitTeasers

mmmkay this query is polished AF and I am immediately invested in this YA dual-POV

#RevPitTeasers

I want to emphasize: trust your reader!!

If you've left enough crumbs to lead them to a conclusion, trust that they will arrive there. As a writer, you have to strike the balance between clarity & intrigue. And trust yourself that you've left enough for them to grasp. #revpitteasers

yes, yes i know i have to ultimately turn my 3 shortlists into one *very* short list... but yall make it so hard to narrow down 😭😭😭

lots of powerful family themes this year (siblings esp) which just hits so hard (in the best way) this year!!

#RevPitTeasers

weeeeeee! I have my Adult longlist (and mayyyyybe my shortlist? 👀)!!!!

on to MG and YA tomorrow!

#RevPitTeasers a book-related thing I love that I didn't even put on my MSWL has now shown up twice???¿??

#RevPitTeasers I'm surprised and delighted scrolling through the word counts here! It seems like we're largely doing an awesome job of keeping suggested WCs in mind for each genre, with wiggle room for revisions!

but now this makes narrowing things down more difficult...
