The first Mentoring with Ash P cohort is ready to begin building their portfolios. If you are an #author with a complete #manuscript and a low budget, this is the program for you. Four young #editors and a #book designer make up the first cohort of Mentoring with Ash P.

Hello #RevPit fam, my second round of #10Queries is coming up on Friday, April 10, 2026, at 6 p.m., hopefully glitch-free this time. 🤞🏼 Feedback on query letters and first five pages is anonymous and generalized, so that everyone can benefit. If you guess which one is yours, that's a bonus!

The stats for my submissions this year are: Ages: Young Adult = 13.04% Middle Grade = 39.1% Adult = 47.82% I never expected to get any Adult manuscripts that fit my caveats, so this was a happy surprise. I definitely expected more YA subs. But all my MG subs 💗 🤗🥰 #10Queries #RevPit

An update on my #RevPit #10Queries. My scheduler @buffer.com decided to be a buffoon and has gone and stuck my posts in some processing queue. I can't undo it either. So with my apologies to all of you waiting. Once the @bufferdevs.bsky.social decide to release the queue or cancel it I'll post them.

So, that's my writing and editing tip for today. I hope you've found it helpful and can benefit from it at some point. Now, let me have those questions. #RevPit #AskEditor

Case in point: Stephen Graham Jones once talked about how his copyeditor misunderstood the voice of his Indigenous vampire character in THE BUFFALO HUNTER HUNTER because he hadn't written it out in a style sheet. He had to go back & fix it himself because his CE edited it with a white, Western lens.

It may reduce costs as some editors charge extra for creating a style sheet for the client. The biggest plus is that it helps to avoid misinterpretation and misrepresentation, especially with BIPOC characters, during the editing process. #RevPit #AskEditor

Why? you ask. It takes away a lot of the guess work for us as editors to have a clear vision of how you see your characters & envision your world. It helps to save us time & allows us to focus on fine-tuning your story to the best of our abilities. Less brain energy wasted=better edits. #Ask Editor

It is similar to when you outline your characters, determine timelines & build the world your story lives in. My tip is: Clean up & streamline those notes & share with your editor so they can learn about them from your POV. It will reduce your editor's workload during the edit. #RevPit #AskEditor

Coming up later in the day are my last #10Queries (Round 2). This style of feedback for #RevPit is so hard to write because we #editors are all about taking the vague and anonymous, and making it obvious and clear. So this is definitely a skill we’ve have to develop over time. #RevPitWaiting
