Just started The Poppy War and holy cow, why haven’t I read this sooner? RF Kuang is a wonderful writer. From this to Yellowface? Incredible range.

as we get closer to #RevPit announcement time, here are some important reminders: ✨️ sharing your work is brave ✨️ the contest (and ALL of publishing) is super subjective ✨️ "best manuscript wins" is not a thing ✨️ you are unique and exceptional in ways only you can be happy #RevPit day 💛

Here’s the original mood board I made- it still fits pretty well, but I might make some tweaks, as it doesn’t quite capture the old Hollywood glamour vibe of the school. But thought I’d share! #revpit #revpitwaiting

Hey #RevPit! I’m ready for my #AskEditor session. Ask your burning questions, and I’ll reply in the thread. P.S. Even though I’m an editor, I rarely proof read my posts. Oops. So, there’s a 99 percent chance typos will happen. 💜

Good morning, #RevPit! I'm in that weird ADHD headspace where I can't start anything because I have something to do at a specific time and since I am first up today, I figure I'll just start my #AskEditor If you have a writing/publishing Q, drop it in the replies, even if didn't enter RevPit

New Substack post! For those who don’t know, I’m a psychologist by day, and have a Substack where I talk about writing and mental health. This newsletter is a slight departure from my usual posts- it has notes on how I think about character instead. drkatewrites.substack.com if you’re curious ☺️
