I see Rowan’s super close to 3k (2.9k WOO) so I wanted to add that their feedback was SUPER in-depth and well set out!! They highlighted both the strengths and weaknesses of my first three chapters excellently and I CANNOT WAIT to dive into revisions :)

Rowan Brighton Brown (is revising!) Can confirm, your query advice is so helpful! Last time, I went from 0 requests to a partial and some non-form rejections. This time, I went straight to you before I sent a single query lol. Thanks for always sharing your time with us! 💖

Yall should go check this out. Rowan is a PEACH. Whoever gets them as a mentor for WTMP/SmoochPit is lucky.

New faces mean new intros! Hey, I'm Rowan! I write MG and YA and spend a lot of time on here giving free advice and critique (more on that soon!) I have a sweet MG Shakespeare retelling on sub now and I'm working to finish some queer Appalachian horror! Thanks for being here!

I won't be doing teasers for #WTPitch or #SmoochPit ! I know they can be really fun, so sorry to the folks who enjoy them! I just remember from my own days as an applicant that it can be hard to opt-out, and I want to be a super accessible and approachable option for folks! <3

I got my first ever offer of rep directly because of #PitchMe! Krista's advice is fantastic and I made so many friends and critique partners from participating! All of you should submit!

Hi #agents and #editors! Our #PitchDis participants will be sending their pitches in next week, and you'll be able to review them on our password-protected site September 23-25. If you haven't done so already, please register for access below. Thanks! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

If you're on the fence because you think your book isn't good enough, or you aren't a perfect fit, or your concept is too "out there," or any of the other million reasons to self reject, this is your sign to submit anyway! Us mentors are way less scary than the voice in your head

Hey, I know sometimes it looks like everyone is getting requests and offers, but the vast majority of people who sent me queries haven't received any. If you're still waiting for good news, just know you're in good company. (And maybe send your query and I'll see what I can do!)
