Q for those of you who’ve read the #Outlander 📖series: how much of a commitment is it, as in, is it still a satisfying read if you only read the 1st book (or 1st few)? #booksky #amreading

Yes! It took me a few years to ‘trust the process’ if im honest 😅 Fallow times are still scary, but ever since realizing they’re a pattern, I’ve gotten better at enjoying the benefits and no longer stress as much

Now I’m embracing them as an opportunity to rest, reset my brain, take in all the amazing feedback I got from #RevPit and my fellow CCs, and begin daydreaming about my next book… before heading to the query trenches again 🤞 #writesky #writingcommunity

Between #amquerying the novel and participating in #RevPit I’ve been in the biggest writing slump ever (500 words written (on a new book project) in a month!) Such ‘fallow periods’ happen to me at the end of every meaningful project. They used to scare tf out of me.

I didn’t win #RevPit, but getting an email from @jenichappelle.bsky.social telling me to expect feedback absolutely made my WEEK. I’m so glad I participated and got to know such lovely and generous humans (authors and editors alike)!

Congratulations to the winners and runners-up!! Though I didn’t win, I had so much fun participating this year. Huge thanks again to all the #RevPit editors who brought this event to life! And fellow non-winners… keep writing 💪♥️

So many people dream of writing a novel and never do. YOU wrote a whole novel. Drafted, rewrote, edited, revised, and were brave enough to share it with others. No matter what happens tomorrow, you should all be so proud of yourselves! 💪

All the #RevPit editors are available to hire + for some of us, editing is our day job. If you enjoyed + got useful info from this event, the best way to help/thank us is to recommend us to authors looking for an editor. Most of my new clients come to me by word-of-mouth, so it really does help! 🥰

Regardless of #RevPit results, I plan to: get to know some of my fellow authors better / resume querying my novel / start writing my next one / maybe blow off some steam w a little fanfic or two 😁

Thanks so much for all your insights! Are there any tell tale signs in FP / QLs that make you go “this writer is still inexperienced”? I know it when I see it, but it’s hard to pinpoint what could be improved.

I admit, I peek at age and genre first 😅 then go back to try to learn something from every one of the queries and pages haha

I have a nosy question for the #RevPit editors (apologies if it’s been asked before) ☝️ We got #RevPies of genres, ages, & now I’m curious about base sizes! On average, how many subs does a RevPit editor get? 👀 #revpitwaiting #revpitteaser #revpitteasers

I’m grateful for the fun & games, the sense of community, the awesome insights, and the editors’ incredible generosity. Every time I do #RevPit I’m amazed. Y’all are the best 🤩

Learned a lot and will have another look at my comps for sure! Thanks for sharing your thoughts with us! I don’t think mine was in there so I won’t try to guess the authors… 👀 can’t wait for next Tuesday!

Silence or my white noise app if I’m writing in a noisy place! I love songs for inspiration but when I actually writing, I can’t focus if my music has lyrics 🤷

Same! I love that several editors seemed like a great match for me/my MS. Picking the three I wanted to submit to wasn’t a difficult choice at all. (And the form only allowed a few words anyway so we had to be concise 😉)

E. H. Kell is Querying @ehkell.bsky.social · 25/03/2025
That’s really good to know. My brain tends to think in terms of the editor/author relationship I’m looking for and shared values, before thinking of specific names. Thank you for replying!

Batch cooking veggie dishes, watching old reruns of Parks & Recs, reading reading reading. Oh, and thinking about my next novel 😄

E. H. Kell is Querying @ehkell.bsky.social · 25/03/2025
🧵There was only 1 text box in the form, so I understood it to mean “write about why these 3 editors” (your common qualities, approach to editing… bcs you’re all great tbh!) instead of specifics about each. How much specificity do you require, and how much do you rely on those answers to choose?

Definitely looking forward to the teasers 👀👀👀 I take them as a opportunity to learn what goes on behind the scenes! I do have a (maybe dumb?) question about the decision process 🧵

Tip Time! I’m seeing a lot of long query letters. I suggest trimming your QL down to 300-350 words. I know, I know, it’s hard, but tighter query letters can give you bonus points when pitching agents. #RevPit #RevPitWaiting #RevPitTeaser

Thank you! This is so interesting. And I didn’t realize RevPit was more intense than a ‘regular’ editing project! Another reason to be grateful for this contest and all the participating editors 🙌

Putting yourself in the shoes of an agent reading the MS sounds like a great way to give constructive feedback and help your authors understand how their MS would be perceived. Thank you! ❤️

Hi Demi! Thanks for taking the time! 1) As an editor how do you approach a new MS? Read it all in one go and let it sit for a while, or dive in with notes right away, etc.? 2) what’s a recent book you read that you felt was edited *perfectly*?
