Mine is in!!! Excited for you guys to read it 😬 ☺️

Thanks! 😊 you too!

Good point 😂

Hey #RevPit #RevPitWaiting, the submission window has been open for five hours. Feels like five months. How are you feeling? Did you sub yet? Are you panic-reading your manuscript one more time? Spill the tea. 👀

Panic read my first chapter agin this morning 😬 thankfully I still love it. But everything is in and waiting!

Cool! Good luck finding something amazing this year!

Meeee

I did! Super excited and kinda wishing I could just fast forward to selection 😬

Cool, that’s so interesting! I’d love to get inside the minds of the first readers doing the scoring. Do they get started right off the bat or wait for the window to close?

What do the first readers actually do for you? I think I heard they score them somehow but do you guys still see them all?

WE LIVED ON THE HORIZON x CHAIN-GANG ALL-STARS

When a state memory technician tasked with erasing people’s most emotional memories can’t control her own, her grief unleashes a phantom who remembers everything she’s erased. And he won’t let her forget.
THE UNMAKING - upmarket speculative - 95k words

Haha I love that! It’s like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind but enforced by the government with the corporate ritual menace of Severance on Apple TV+. Not going to lie I did look up Inside Out 2 and I see the parallels 😂 Thanks Jeni for reading it! That’s really encouraging that you liked it.

I’ll trade if you want

She’s meant to erase the memories that make them feel the most, until her grief unleashes a phantom who remembers everything she’s erased. And he won’t let her forget.

Hey #revpit hopefuls! Any upmarket speculative peeps here or authors who real upmarket spec? Would anyone want to swap first chapters or queries for one final read through before the submission period opens?

Thanks all!

I’m doing a final read through of my first 50 pages and making final tweaks to my query!!! Eek! So excited 😆

I’ll just read through one more time… 👀

Love this! Wishing you the best of luck 🤞

Me! I’ll be submitting my upmarket speculative novel. How about you?
