Raquel elevated my manuscript to industry-standards!

RevPit showed me that not quitting and working does result in good things when it comes to writing.

One year after the contest, I have an agent, I have submitted my book to publishers, and now I am working on my next book.

I am up for becoming a critique partner #FifRevPit. Always happy to lend an eye. I read all genres, but I am more experienced in some than others. Genre with the capital G is my comfort zone but I can slide into literary as well. DM me. Happy #match day! #revpit

Huge thanks to @raqueledits.bsky.social for all her work on my manuscript throughout #revpit, responding to my endless emails and discussing ideas on long, long meetings. Anyone working with her in the future is lucky, I do have to say. #RevPitClassof25 She kept #TeamDaggerato sharp!

Look at that line-up! What a fantastic bunch of authors all descending on Leeds for 1 big bookish event! Have you got your tickets? Who are you looking forward to meeting? How many books are you going to buy on the night? (don't worry we won't tell your TBR & book buying bans are forbidden at ISUN)

And you know what's most annoying? In those moments, you know rationally how much luck is involved in these things and the rejections are not personal or about the quality of your writing necessarily, but it will still bring you down. All you can do is to commit to NOT quit. Keep #writing

Rakan Khashman @rakanrrk.bsky.social · 18/04/2025

I completely agree. This is my third #revpit and second novel I submitted. I did not expect to win but you have to keep trying. Don't give up #writing

I'm so excited to work with Rakan on this swashbuckling tale about two friends forced to take on the world. It's grim, it's grand, it's funny, it's heartwrenching—did I mention the swashbuckling?—and I can't wait for you all to see pages during the showcase! #RevPit
