So excited to work with @kaylaharriswrites.bsky.social on her amazing psychological thriller! This book kept me reading late into the night 👀
Images cast in a purple hue: a pool outside a mansion in the hills at night, a stack of letters tied with a purple ribbon, a blonde woman being escorted by a body guard through paparazzi, the Hollywood sign in the hills, a woman peering over sunglasses. The words XO, Sammie

In case anyone is following for #HiveMentor updates, here's what I've been up to this week: I've read through all submissions in my genres, starting with the query, then moving onto the first few pages if the story feels like a good fit for me.

#HiveMentor AMA Q5:
Q5: What is one piece of writing advice you were given that you wish you'd learned years before? A: Beta readers and critique partners are invaluable, but there is a such thing as too much feedback. Find a handful of trusted, honest readers who enjoy and “get” your work. Always remember it’s YOUR story. If you’re unsure about a potential change, wait for two or more readers to point out the same problem before jumping to revise your project. FYI: During revisions, there will always be a point where you feel like you’ve made a mess of your book––this will pass! Just keep pushing through.

#HiveMentor AMA Q4:
Q4: What topics would you not be the best mentor for? (Due to conflicts or overlaps with your current writing, or elements that would not be a good fit for you.) A: I’m not the best fit for fantasies with elaborate world-building and magic systems––this is not a genre I write or read much!
011
Elizabeth Soule - UPDATES @soulestories.bsky.social · 05/11/2025
#Hivementor Q3:
Q3: What are you looking for in a mentee or manuscript? A: Across all genres, I appreciate witty writing that makes me laugh and/or think deeply, character-driven stories centered around complex relationships, and romantic interests driven by more than physical attraction. I’m hoping to find a fantastic manuscript with all of these elements, but also one that gives me a clear editorial vision––a story I know I can help!

#HiveMentor AMA Q2: #WritingCommunity #amquerying
Q2: What's your favorite book you've read recently? A: That would be a tie between The Wedding People by Alison Espach  and Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt 

I am currently enjoying the rich writing and slower pace of Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier!

#HiveMentor AMA Q1:
Q 1: What is your mentorship style? What can mentees expect from working with you? A1: I plan on being a collaborative supporter during my mentee’s revision process and will help them bring their book to the next level.  My edit letter will likely focus on tightening the plot, strengthening character arcs, and giving their story the edge it needs to help them achieve their publishing goals. I’ll also be available in the DMs to field questions, brainstorm plot problems as needed, and offer support however I can. I’d like to cheer my mentee on during the querying/next steps as well!

Specifics: Good lord I’m tired. I just want to laugh. Maybe some girls kiss or some robots show up or there’s wrestling or hockey or sapphic robot hockey players who moonlight as pro wrestlers. I’m not asking for much. I’ll go back to my corner now.

Poster KJ has made. It consists of a digitally drawn illustration. The background is dark green and there are leaves of different tones of green around the top and bottom of the image. On the top, there is a Brimstone butterfly resting on the leaves - the butterfly's leaves are light green. Opposite to it, there's a marshmellow waving its hand. On the bottom, there is another Brimstone butterfly resting on the leaves near a very smiley marshmellow. On the right hand side there's another butterfly but this one is flying. The text in the middle says #CampRevPit 25, Sprint Sunday! 1pm - 3pm est
Like this post so i can tag you when sprint starts and ends 
Comment what you'll be working on and your progress before the sprint 
4 x 20 min sprints with 10 min break in between starting at 1pm est eg:
 - 1st sprint :00 - :20
- break :20 - :30
- 2nd sprint :30 - :50

On a grassy green hill, a bright green praying mantis, a black and orange firefly, and a small green caterpillar examine the mantis’s very tall pile of story notes. The firefly is measuring the stack of paper with a tape measure while the caterpillar looks concerned. The stack of pages is waist-high to the mantis. A Campy RevPit flag flies from the top of a nearby flagpole. There is a bright blue sky with fluffy white clouds in the background. The text above them reads, #TropeSunday
