Hello #PosterPit participants! We are *thrilled* to announce today that the PosterPitAwards will feature DONATIONS from both agents and artists for the first and second place prizes! Be sure to check out what those donations (and donors!) are in the thread!

@MelJRey Yay! 🎉

@slow_laurus Coming soon!

Guys 👀 I just did my first ever panel as an author, and people I don’t know actually wanted me to sign copies of my book for them!

How about we do a pop- up pitch party!! I will post my wishlist tomorrow morning! I’ll leave the post up for the weekend and any that I like you will DM me for a QM link to submit! Like, comment and share if you are excited!! #queryingauthors #writingcommunity

This was definitely one of my top reads of 2026! Debbie is such a funny, funny writer, and the mystery kept me on my toes. And Jesse is such a swoonworthy love interest 💕 I can’t wait to have this on my physical shelf!

Hello #PosterPit participants! We're thrilled to announce that our event will, from here on out, include Th(r)eads! That makes our event a four-platform literary pitching extravaganza! Follow us in other places (@)PosterPitEvent!

Book 24 of 2026 I’d been saving this last jaunt with the Ankh-Morpork crew as The Shepherd’s Crown just about broke me. But I’m home sick and it was time.

Book 23 of 2026 Not me devouring this 500+ page book in barely over a day. I wish someone had told me earlier that it was a David Copperfield retelling and not actually about snakes (not joking). Wow. What a heartbreaking ride.

the #RevPit annual contest submission window opens this Thursday at noon EDT. #amquerying #amwriting folks, get your submissions ready reviseresub.com for details timeanddate.com/countdown/spri…

@writemeganwrite Right?! Phenomenal.

@slow_laurus YES. This book changed my brain. 11/10.

Book 22 of 2026 Yes, I did devour this in an afternoon, just like the AARP quote on the back said I would (not sure what to make of that!). Beautiful, melancholy, brilliant. Clarke and I share the same alma mater, so I can at least hope it shaped her brilliance!

@annlittler It was so good. I’m legit devastated to have finished it.

@slow_laurus Another one on my TBR pile! I am so excited to read this ❤️

@bynicwebb I made mine! My agent is so rarely on Twitter 😆

wait guys i have a question .. when you announce you’re agented and post your cute lil graphic .. do you the author make it? does the agent make it? because i’m canva savvy and ready for the day i make mine 😂 #amquerying

Book 21 of 2026 This was so cute 😍 One of the reviews I read called this an absolute palate cleanser (true) after reading something deep, and that’s unfair. It’s a cozy romance, sure, but there’s so much internal development and growth. Plus we stan a non-binary LI.

Book 20 of 2026 I love the ease and enthusiasm with which Bryson explains things, but he glosses over too much. He dedicates pages to the hardships of servants in the UK, but he credits Jefferson with firing 150k bricks—with no mention of the enslaved who did the actual work.

@GoodwynPub That’s very fair! I usually feel an obligation to continue 😅

@slow_laurus My usual opinion is that there are too many enjoyable books available for me to waste time letting one try to convince me it's worthy of my time while boring me in the process.

Book 18 and 19 of 2026 Time War was a bit disappointing after all the hype (come at me 😅). I really struggle with books that drop you straight into the action with no frame of reference. Cease, on the other hand, was brilliant and incredibly disturbing.

@GoodwynPub My husband DNFed after about 50 pages, which is a shame, because it took me about 70 to get into it 😆

@slow_laurus I was not a fan of Time War either. Took too long to get into. For someone who will dnf books after the first page, I'm surprised I finished it.
