When an amateur sleuth finds a dead body being devoured by the Wilderwood, he becomes a suspect in the case. To clear his name, he must find the killer. But as the forest begins growing within him, he questions if he’s as innocent as he’s trying to prove. #QuestPit #Q #YA #FM

Any tips for getting out of a long term writing slump??

Writing community, I come to you for advice yet again. I got a full request after getting an R&R from another agent. I asked if they’d like to see the OG manuscript, or the R&R when it’s ready. How long do I wait to hear back before sending off the OG?

In the past week, after months of silence, I’ve received a free full developmental edit, become a RevPit finalist, gotten an R&R, and a full request. To say I’m freaking out is an understatement!!

Such a pantser. Trying to make the switch, because the editing phase on my last novel is never ending because of it, but outlining has never quite clicked for me.

Hey fellow RevPitters! I’m a writer who can’t pick a lane and has far too many WIPs brewing. Beyond that, I’m a reader and like to bake. My dog is my #1 co-author.
