Are they just announced on BlueSky or also on the RevPit website? (Asks the person whose weird job means they don’t have their phone during the day). If I need to plan a midday trek to my car, I will!

Alas, I haven’t seen anything that might be mine. But two of my editors still have sessions and one editor hasn’t done any, so still holding out some hope!

My writing group friend @staciemwrites.bsky.social, author of three amazing historical novels, beta read the novel and gave incredibly useful feedback for the query and synopsis! Couldn’t have done it without her.

Just started reading the Murderbot books by Martha Wells, after much haranguing by some of my favorite writing friends. And they were right, they are great!

I’m honestly loving that editors I didn’t sub to are doing their #10queries first so I can just enjoy the ride and soak up the advice without wondering if it’s mine! Also me: can’t wait until my editors start…

Leigh Bardugo is my biggest YA fantasy inspiration, but in terms of amazing prose I really love Alix Harrow and Katherine Arden.

Would love to hear about your process for giving developmental edits. Do you edit in sweeps, looking for different things, or do you try to hit everything in one pass? Thanks!

That is reassuringly similar to the process I have used on my work so I’ll take that as a sign I’m on the right track. Thanks!

Thanks for taking the time! How do you approach doing developmental edits? Do you do multiple passes looking for different things, or do you try to hit everything in one swoop?

Yes, totally worth it! FWIW I do prefer stormlight archive to the mistborn books, but they are also good. And not as long 😉
