Sam is an army private who befriends Mia after she's exiled. I love that he guides her through the brutal training years at the military academy. She loves that he helps turn her selfishness into selflessness.

Hi #CRPWizardWasps I'm Michelle. I write sci-fi and fantasy. I'll be revising my first 50 of the MS I've been querying and polishing my query and synopsis before hitting the trenches again. My story is about an exiled highflier who must outsmart an army to return home to the boy she loves.
INTRODUCTIONS: Quote this tweet to introduce yourself, your project, and your goal for Camp Rev Pit! Make sure to use the cabin hashtag: #CRPWizardWasps
(Bonus: Interact with your fellow campers' intros so we can all get to know each other better!)

Mia trades golden luxury for a soldier's stripes to find a coup she is falsely connected to before perpetrators assassinate Earth's Prime Minister and unleash global war, displacing her from her former life and the boy she loves forever.

After recieving emails from all three of my #revpit editors. I am blown away by the fact that my MS 'The Unsainted' was not only considered but made a short list and a long list! It's not an official win but still a WIN in my books ❤️❤️❤️

Does anyone else race through the #10Queries age range and genre tags to see if the post could be yours, or are you all civilized?

First pages are hard. During my first 10Queries session for RevPit, I stopped in the middle of my thread to give some advice (I could go on all day, really!) to writers who are working on these all-important pages.

Who is waiting for me to do #RevPit #10Queries?? Welp, tomorrow the wait will be over!
Sorry it has taken me so long! I'd love to say it was intentional to keep you in suspense, but I was just slow.
Join me 4/10 @ 1pm ET for my first set! I'll bring writing advice, you bring a cup of tea!

The War of Art by @stevenpressfield.bsky.social is an amazing fount of inspiration for all creatives that borders on philosophical. It's a brilliant kick in the pants that every writer needs in their arsenal. You'll never look at the word "resistance" the same again.

This is my FAVORITE prompt #RevPit!
Editors have been so kind & helpful with 10 queries (even posting more than is required!)
And I also think WE have the capacity to help each other be better writers. So let's share 🤗

I often write in stolen moments, so I currently have no designated writing space. But, here are preferred spots over the years. Not shown: the car at stoplights, my bedroom, beside my son's bed when he's not sleeping well, etc.

Let's play "explain your book poorly." 😅
eg:
Underworld - A woman bites her enemy to avenge her family.
LOTR - group spends months delivering jewelry.
