I cannot say enough lovely things about this book! @goodwords.bsky.social was amazing to work with and I'm just obsessed with everything about this MS. If you want cozy vibes, snarky familiars, dorky romance, & accurate disability rep, this book is for you!

It's the last day before the #RevPit showcase opens!

I'm a jittery mess, but I know my pages are ready thanks to @fromcarly.bsky.social

Thank you so much for believing in my manuscript. It means the world to me, and I am so happy I've gotten the chance to work with you ✨

#RevPitClassof25

A glittery purple background has text laid over top that says: Before working with Carly, I kept staring at my novel and thought I'd done everything I could possibly do to make it shine. But I knew it was missing polish.

There were pacing issues, and the characters weren't jumping off of the page like they do in my mind. Carly changed that. Moving one chapter from the 3/4 mark to the first half got the ball rolling, and then we talked through characterization improvements, pacing, tension, and everything else in between.

I am so proud of the final product. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. My novel is so much shinier because of you
