Hi Carly, I’m sorry if this is a dumb question, but can you clarify “titles?” Do you mean book titles, or Mr. Mrs, or main character, etc? Thanks!

There should be support groups for the partners of writers. That is all. #amwriting

The amount of work the editors put into this, which is of course volunteer-work, really astounds me. It seems like it's a full time job!

I understand how you feel. Thank you for being so open, it’s nice to see mental health struggles surrounding querying normalized. It is BRUTAL. ❤️❤️❤️

Every writer needs a cat! It’s a fact. Here’s my guy: Pumpkin. He’s very naughty.

I actually once received an agent rejection email that just said, “Declined by return of post.”

I also have Jane Austen tarot cards. What do you think is the answer, A, B or C?

#revpitwaiting friends: my mom got me this gorgeous Jane Austen trivia game for my bday (yes, it’s my birthday!), but none of my real-life friends are Austenites! Will you play with me? First clue here, about Austen’s feelings regarding a fellow writer. #janeausten #revpit #trivia #itsmybirthday

Gotta love a ginger cat. Here’s my guy—Pumpkin—a couple nights ago as I was plugging away on my WIP. #caturday #catsofbluesky

My favorite parts are always descriptions of nature. 🏃‍♀️🏃🏃‍♀️ After a hotheaded feminist and a cautious, recovering addict are forced to share a cabin at a 1978 training camp, the world of ultrarunning—and both runners’ lives—will never be sure he same… #revpitwaiting #histsportsrom #revpit

Snippet from CATCH THE GIRL: A light breeze plays through the sequoias, and above them, there’s not a cloud in the sky. Sunlight streams through their enormous branches, streaking downward like a theater spotlight. But instead of dust from old sets and costumes, bugs and bits of pollen float in the light, making splotches on the ground, rippling as the branches shift. The effect is almost like being underwater. ~J.E. Rizzo

I love this Jordan. I have book one of a medieval duology coming out this year, set in 1381 England. So nice seeing medieval settings!

Aww, thanks! Did you get electricity back? I've been thinking of you and hoping you're well.

So amazed by everyone's mood boards. My 42-year-old ass is still trying to figure this out. CATCH THE GIRL 🏃‍♀️🏃🏃‍♀️ HISTORICAL SPORTS ROMANCE FROM LUKOV WITH LOVE x YOU SHOULD BE SO LUCKY x BATTLE OF THE SEXES and yes there's a golden retriever #histsportsrom #revpitwaiting #amwriting #amquerying

1970's retro trail running mood board. California, 1978: There's no Olympic ladies' marathon. Stores don't carry women's running shoes. There's no such thing as a sports bra. But Jo Schwartz just...can't...stop running.

That's great Kristen! I never ran when I was young, and only started after having my kids. That was my first "why." Running felt like the only way I could get back some of the control I craved. 😜 Now my kiddos are 12 and 13...can't believe it.

This may be a dumb question, but this is my first RevPit, so I'm learning as I go. What is the significance and purpose of the team names? Thanks! #askeditor

My 2 ❤️s: Bailey, Aussie/pit bull etc mix, and Pumpkin, an extremely naughty ginger cat. They both like to run and write with me. 😱🤪🙄

My #RevPit entry is #histsportsrom about a hotheaded feminist and a cautious, recovering addict who are forced to share a cabin at a 1978 CA UltraRunning camp, leading to an opposites attract, grumpy vs grumpier story about overcoming gender stereotypes and taking second chances.

Hi Carly! I recently received feedback from a podcast that featured my query and first pages, and subsequently made major changes to my opening pages. Do you think it would be appropriate to send new versions of the manuscript to two agents who have requested the full manuscript? #askagent

Stay safe @jenichappelle.bsky.social I live outside Boston now, but grew up in Oklahoma, so I feel your pain. I've spent a lot of time in closets hiding from tornadoes.

HR lady and hf rom writer in MA. This is my first #RevPit so I'm still getting the hang of everything. I love ultra/trail running, have a rescue dog and cat, and two kids. Super into all sorts of hand crafts including knitting, sewing, macrame. #RevPitWaiting

CATCH THE GIRL teaser text: “What I did was horrible. I did it...
I did it because I wasn’t a confident person. I saw a woman who was better than me, stronger than me, and I was intimidated. I thought I had to cut you down to make myself better. I was wrong. You taught me that, Jo. You’re a runner. Not a girl, or a woman, or a man. A runner. A human. And you’re the strongest one I’ve ever met.”
