Before #preDV & #DVPit thought I'd repost some pitching advice(1/7) Here's a simple pitch rubric: [CHARACTER] is/lives [STATUS QUO] until [INCITING INCIDENT]. Now if they don’t [MAIN GOAL] then [CONSEQUENCES]. OR [MAIN MOTIVATION] only problem is [MAIN CONFLICT/HURDLE] e.g. my old 140 char pitch:
Based on Korean myth, Jihoon & Miyoung fall in love, only prob is Miyoung's a gumiho, immortal 9-tail fox that preys on man #DVpit #YA #OWN

Being a writer is going for a walk and having a full conversation with yourself about your character’s motivations, while ignoring concerned stares from fellow pedestrians 🤭 #writerlife #writing

#Writers, let’s talk balance. 😄 We pour hours into our manuscripts. Edits. Revisions. Plus we have lives: jobs, families. Phew. I need more octopus arms. 🐙 Sometimes, we have to: Step away. Pause. Walk. Return clearer, dive in again. Rest isn’t falling behind. It’s part of the process. ✨

Don’t know if I did this correctly but here’s mine. Blue is backstory, Green is interior, yellow is description (I included dialogue as description too) #CampRevPit #CRPDryads

Any bit of dialogue with my MC’s grandfather is so much fun to write. Just because he’s a mean, complex character. This one is between him and my MC: #CampRevPit #CRPDryads #DialogueDrop

I have two villains so: V1 “My brother’s cursed offspring tries to destroy the legacy of my family line. As if doing it to her own father wasn’t enough.” V2 “A…unique pawn in my game has just stepped onto the board. This will be interesting.” #CampRevPit #CRPDryads #VillainVoices

That’s a tough one. I think this sums up Eni pretty well: “I’m a good fighter and I’m the best at survival tests. I’m going to pass initiation and become an Alaashe. Nothing you say can change my mind.” #CampRevPit #CRPDryads #OneLineMC

Missed poster pit but thought I’d take a stab at it 😊. Currently querying SACRED, my West-African Inspired YA dark fantasy. Explores themes like: the pressure family expectations, the dangers of a single story, and what truly makes a monster. #CampRevPit #CRPDryads #Amquerying

I’ll try to get my word count down. Polish my QL and first pages and get back out there with querying 💪🏾. Aside from that will work on the loglines for a few new ideas and see what sticks 😊. I’ve learned my lesson: loglines before drafts this time! #RevPitWaiting #RevPit

Hi #RevPit friends. Today, I’m going to share a thread on what I think is a lesser-known querying tip. An agent friend told me about this a while ago, and it makes absolute sense, so I’m going to spill the tea with you guys. #RevPitWaiting 💜💎

My fav authors are: - Nnedi Okorafor: Showed me I could write stories I love with girls that look like me - Octavia Butler: Her writing is so prophetic, metaphorical, and experimental - Suzanne Collins: The hunger games series is done so well and always makes me think. #RevPitWaiting
