Check out this thread about some of the winners of last year's #RevPit. I was fortunate to be one of them. TBH, even if you don't win, you walk away a winner with a ton of knowledge.

This is making me want to do #revpit all over again. The process was so fun and when an editor loves your story, it just makes you that much more excited. I know Ash P is very humble and I'm not trying to embarrass her, but she truly sees story. Her insight brought OUR gargoyle story to its best.
It's such a fun day, but totally exhausting.
Met lots of young readers at Elmwood Park Zoo's author event, honoring Read Across America Week. Many thanks to the staff and all their hard work.

I won last year and worked with @ashpreads.bsky.social. There aren't enough words to say how terrific her insights were.
Sat. was a great day for readers and writers. Love libraries. TY Horsham Twshp Libr.

I know all the editors are amazing. As a winner last year, @ashpreads.bsky.social was spectacular to work with. I wish I were participating again. This is so much fun, and you meet great people.
Anyone who works with you will be so pleased. I know I was!
Signing books for an upcoming school visit. I can't wait to meet with the students and for them to meet Hangabout and Bean.

Had a terrific time last Wed. chatting with kids in different states. Thank you to all who invited me to their classrooms.

Finally got a purple smiley. Those in the querying trenches will know what this means!

What a great #10Queries thread. Thanks, Ash P.!
Make sure to follow @ashpreads.bsky.social as she replies to her recent #10Queries from #RevPit. As a winner of last year's #RevPitClassof25, I can tell you, she's an amazing editor with a great eye for story.
I can't wait to read your responses. I know how great they will be.
Paper plate writing. A tradition when I get to the beach for a week. I write my notes on a paper plate as I'm writing. It feels so light and airy.

Yes, the smell of rain. Love it.
You remembered them all!
Thanks!
Thank you for choosing Louie's story and me to work with!

Love it!
So cute and cozy.
Thanks!
I write at my kitchen table. I think a kitchen has so much life in it and I like to feel that as I write. #RevPitClassof25 #RevPit #writingcommunity #gargoyles
Love the lights.
Thank you.
So much going on! It's great.
