Hello, everyone. Unfortunately, due to personal reasons I have had to pull out of participating in #RevPit this year. I apologize to any of the writers who were hoping to sub to me. Good luck everyone! I'll see you next year.

"Being uncomfortable" and having a trigger are very different things and I encourage people to look into why. If something is on my list of absolute no's, do not send it to me.

Thanks

Good morning! I’m caffeinating here for my #MeetTheEditor chat. All week, the #RevPit editors have been showing off their impressive skills and knowledge, and now it’s my turn.

I just sold my turnips for 455 bells, so that should impress at least 4-5 of you.

Who’s hanging out with me today?

I would definitelt describe my feedback style as direct and delivered with kindness! I tend to ask a lot of questions in my feedback, and I will not beat around the bush if something clearly needs work. But I also love building authors up and reminding them of their strengths and talent!

-for me, MC rep must be authentic. If the Asian rep is coming thru the MCs POV, but the author is not Asian, it becomes a problem.

However, secondary characters whose perspective we don't necessarily see through could include much broader rep! Visibility and inclusion matter, so I encourage that!

Hi! To answer your Qs:
-it is always best to stick with industry standard (MG fantasy word count ~60k-80k)

-I truly am open to all. I love any level of magic, grounded or not.

hi :) sci-fi dark romance would def be submittable for me this year (with that caveat re: violence)

Vibes - anything atmospheric. I will say that it can be hard for me to get into space settings, but Carve the Mark (roth) would be a good example of space setting vibes I am into.
