Taking a break from my Appalachian folklore inspired fantasy to work on something else… #writersofbluesky #amwriting

So thankful for the feedback I got from @demimschwartz.bsky.social. Knowing my book was one of her #10Queries picks is SUCH a confidence booster! Can’t wait to see everyone again at the next #Revpit!

It’s so exciting to know that someone’s #Revpit dreams will come true in a few short hours! #revpitwaiting

this happened to me last year. and the year before that 😭😭

this one was my last Editor and before that i knew NONE of them were mine!! Don’t lose hope!

just read a #revpit editors #10queries post and i’m CONVINCED one of them is mine. all of this #revpitwaiting is driving me crazy!!!

IM LIKE 90% SURE THIS IS MINE AHHHH

I can’t imagine how cold and scared he must’ve been! Now he has his own blankets, a mountain of toys, sweaters, and a porcelain dish for his dinner each night 😂😂😂

Meet Milo! This little guy was a stray, abandoned on a rainy January morning. He found his way into my family’s lives and is now king of the household. His hobbies include snacking, posing for pictures, and watching nature documentaries. #revpit #revpitwaiting

I was inspired by my family’s stories about the Appalachian woods (“respect the woods or else” kind of vibes) and the appalachian tradition of folk magic (we call it granny magic)!!! Thanks for your interest it makes me sooo happy <3

I’m Ella! I write fantasy inspired by the Southern and Appalachian folklore I grew up with. My #Revpit submission is a 90k word YA fantasy about a magical forest and three deadly trials. I am 51k words into a WIP about a cursed circus and an eldritch goddess. #revpitwaiting

Just submitted to #Revpit!! Good luck to everyone participating this year and thank you to the amazing editors!!

Hey Jeni! I was wondering: do you read all of the sample pages sent to you or just the query (and then the sample pages of the queries that catch your eye)? Thanks!

I am!!

YA fantasy inspired by Appalachian folklore!

Awesome!! Wishing you the best of luck!

Prepare your submission package early!!!! AND HAVE FUN!!

Every day during my walk to campus I remind myself that if my MC can face three deadly (and rigged) trials designed to test her magical ability and sheer willpower that ALSO take place amongst ancient mountains, I can most definitely walk uphill for 10 minutes. #writingcommunity #Revpit
