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 💛

You asked for YA, so here I am with a plus size #RevPit #10Queries -- 15 submissions, all YA, with a little extra advice and a few notes about some trends. Let's jump in

Thank you!! Makes sense. As a bonus, cutting my one adult comp will nicely shrink my QL word count. ✂️✂️✂️✂️

I think I asked this too so please disregard that question when you get there— and thanks again for your time answering these!!

Kate Visser @katevwrites.bsky.social · 28/03/2025

This makes sense!! Thanks ☺️

!! This is such a great tip, thank you so much!

Kate Visser @katevwrites.bsky.social · 28/03/2025

Thank you so much for these, and for your additional helpful comments!! In addition to my question above about prologues, I have one more- if you’re submitting a manuscript as crossover YA, is including comps from both adult and YA acceptable? Or should the comps all be crossover as well?

020

Kate Visser @katevwrites.bsky.social · 28/03/2025

Question (if you can answer!)- I know prologues are controversial/debated, but what's your take on how intense they can be? Especially if they're short and the actual starting scene with the MC follows these guidelines?

Mr. Crowley is such a great cat name

Kate Visser @katevwrites.bsky.social · 26/03/2025

I like silence while I write but make playlists for my MCs, so kind of both? There are some songs that so strongly remind me of my characters that when I listen to them, it’s easier to write in their POVs. So if I have trouble with a scene, I listen to one of the playlists to access the character.

Special additional showcase: Marceline’s 26 toes (!!) and tendency to pretend she’s a meerkat
