Note: It took 200 days to get a response the first time. The R&R likely won’t be done till September.

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!!

Might not have won #RevPit, but the email I just received from one of my chosen editors about being one of their finalists made the experience even more worth it!!

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.

One of the first moodboards I ever made and shared for the project, but still one of my favourites!

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.
