Beta readers and critique partners who aren't super invested in your emotions are worth their weight in gold. It is important to have feedback from people who are going to give you constructive criticism based on craft, not your feelings.

Reminder: No sub gets rejected because it's polished. Many reasons go into requests and not requests, but being too polished is not one of them. It's a balancing act of many factors.

Deep POV tip: Don’t describe a scene like an AUTHOR would, describe it as the CHARACTER would.
Set the stage from the character’s perspective. What aspects of the setting do THEY notice, feel, see, hear, smell, and think about?

#RevPit
is always a challenge, but this year, all the difficult things happening in the world added extra stress for our authors and editors. Still, they persevered, and here's the result of all their hard work.
Today, we proudly present the 2020
#RevPit
Showcase.
Writing is a learned skill. You aren't naturally good at every aspect. No one is. (Especially not your favorite author.) You practice. You read. You learn. You study. Repeat. Writing is a craft. Allow yourself the time and space to learn it.

As a reminder, winner recieved a developmental edit from one of our talented editors.
Be careful to not over-explain the actions/mood of your character. If your MC slams their fists down on a table, you don't then need to say they're angry. Your reader can pick up on that through your description.
