Late to the game but I see I’ve been selected for #RevPit feedback and can’t believe it!

Excited to have someone else explore the first few pages of my crazy mash of words I call a book 😅 #writingcommunity

Working on a book to query is like a rollercoaster. I’m literally screaming with exciting or closing my eyes with my jaw clenched. #writingcommunity

White background, black text, blue highlight on hopefully.

I had to please my boss. And myself.

And I tried. I really tried at work, but when you’re running on four coffees and two espressos a day, it’s clear that something is gonna give (hopefully it wasn’t going to be my heart or head exploding).

I want to do a mood board for my book but my design skills are a meh. Should I create Frankenstein’s monster anyway? 😂🤣

Preparing a book to query is so much harder than I thought when you have absolutely no time to prepare 😬🤣

It never hurt to shoot your shot. At least that’s what I choose to believe

🔪🎭 Murdering your exboss is hard. Murdering him in his Chelsea mansion? 75% harder.😑

A voice-driven satirical thriller that handles themes of race and identity as a new mother is forced out of her job after maternity leave.
