#RevPitBracket2026
P30: The first paragraph confuses me, and I'm not certain it's the GOOD sort of confusion, because I re-read it to try to figure out if I was missing something; we want to propel readers forward. Lovely setting of the scene. Nice character voice. #RevPit #10Queries
Q30: Adult Fantasy. This is ALMOST perfect; it could use a bit more explanation on how the MC's actions caused this bad thing to happen—even just one sentence explaining the magic. I'm obsessed with this concept. Good comps and bio. #RevPit #10Queries
P29: Boredom is a tough emotion to start with, because if your MC is feeling it, your readers may be also. But you've gotten away with it, because the MC doesn't dwell too long and moves onto another thought fairly quickly. Engaging voice. #RevPit #10Queries
Q29: YA Fantasy. Consider clarifying the MC's personal stakes. Why does this matter so much to THEM, specifically? What is motivating them to continue forward? There's space to let us know a bit more about the plot. This sounds really fun. #RevPit #10Queries
P28: Lovely intro. Great voice. This feels like a sequel because of the way the MC references previous events, so it will need revisions to stand alone. #RevPit #10Queries
Q28: MG Horror. Agents will not be interested in a sequel, so revise it to stand alone before querying. Two of these comps are too old. Clarify the MC's goal, motivation, and personal stakes. The author bio should not be longer than the plot summary. This sounds fun! #RevPit #10Queries
P27: lol. This first sentence tickles me. Way to establish the tone immediately. I love it when an MC is doing something mundane in an opening scene like this, but what they're doing matters a ton to THEM, so the reader cares too. #RevPit #10Queries
Q27: Adult Sci-Fi. The query is running long, so cut the short explanation of the book in the metadata paragraph; the longer plot summary should cover all that. Cut any other unnecessary words if you can. This is delightfully absurd. Good comps and bio. #RevPit #10Queries
P26: Intense in a good way. Be careful of explaining too much background information. Trust your readers and let them be curious about certain details. Try only stating what the narrator would be thinking about in that moment. #RevPit #10Queries
Q26: YA Sci-Fi. There's a lot of worldbuilding to take in here; try to cut anything that's unnecessary. I could see this fitting in well with the current sci-fi market. The plot summary makes me want to read the pages. #RevPit #10Queries
P25: Nice in-the-moment storytelling. Nailed the voice. There's a sentence where I would add a phrase to avoid confusion, but overall great opener. #RevPit #10Queries
Q25: Adult Fantasy. There's no need to tell us what the book's about twice by giving us a short summary and then a longer one; save it all for the longer plot paragraphs. Put the metadata all in one paragraph and don't forget to state the age category! Loving this concept. #RevPit #10Queries
P24: This scene could be even stronger if the MC were feeling a sense of urgency—what are the stakes for them (they don't have to be life or death, but what matters to them in this moment)? What is their motivation? Clarifying those things can help engage readers. #RevPit #10Queries
Q24: YA Sci-Fi. Fun concept! Expand on the plot. What are the MC's goal and motivation? What is getting in their way? No need to list who the target audience is beyond YA. One comp is too old and one is probably too big. The author bio shouldn't be longer than the plot summary. #RevPit #10Queries
P23: Nice tense scene where stakes and conflict are clear. Good balance of worldbuilding and in-the-moment storytelling. Great voice. EWWW—and the body horror is well written. #RevPit #10Queries
Q23: YA Horror. A couple of these comps might not be big enough (and that's the first time I've had to say that!). Query is running too long, so cut the logline. This is a really well-written plot summary! Fun concept. #RevPit #10Queries
P22: This is very fun. Love the MC's personality. Delightful voice. #RevPit #10Queries
Q22: MG Fantasy. Good metadata paragraph; we just need some novel comps from the past five years. I keep asking why a child is given this responsibility, so may be worth addressing that in the query. We're missing an author bio. #RevPit #10Queries
P21: Both the query and this chapter are reading like YA, so I'm wondering whether this has been designated the wrong age category. I'm not sure this is starting in the right place—the plot summary led me to expect something different. I'm liking the awkwardness of the MC. #RevPit #10Queries
Q21: Adult Fantasy. One comp is too big (though I totally get why you used it) and the other is too old. The thread of the MC's goal is lost by the end of the plot summary. Try to condense the query to ~350 words. I'm here for this worldbuilding. #RevPit #10Queries
It's time for my final #10Queries! As before, see my first batch for abbreviations (bsky.app/profile/aeal... ).
I wish I could give every single writer personal feedback, because my subs were on fire this year, but I hope everyone finds some encouragement by participating in #RevPit.

lol this was the first time we've done a bath. I was pretty sure she'd hate it (she did, but she was a very good girl anyway).
haha! I suspect we won't do it very often, as she does a great job at cleaning herself.
I have! I did not like either as well, but the bar was pretty high, haha. They were still fun. I liked House of Many Ways better than Castle in the Air.
