My grounded fantasy, HEARTS (revising) was inspired by San Francisco, which I've always found beautiful
My speculative horror CLAY WIP (drafting) was inspired by Prague, specifically in the 1950s :) #FiFRevPit

From horror to fantasy to contemporary, setting is important, and can often become its own character. What inspired the setting for your story? #FiFRevPit #writersky #writingcommunity #writersofbluesky

Hey #MockPit -- a couple things I'm seeing:
1. we don't need the title in the pitch
2. make sure you learn and include the standard genre and age category abbreviations. this doesn't super matter for mockpit but does for pitch events!
Y'all are killing it with the aesthetics
