#RevPitClassof24: Day 7
I am so grateful @MadelynKnecht gave my manuscript a chance! She immediately understood the vision and knew exactly how to help the characters grow into themselves. At times, it felt like she understood the story better than I did 😆Thank you!!

I won the editorial jackpot when @Miranda_Darrow chose
THE FUNERAL GUESTS. Her edits were insightful and actionable and her encouragement came at a time when I needed it so much. She guided my novel to the next level and I am so grateful for the experience.

#RevPitClassof24 day 7: I told @meganrecords in our call that I didn't think I had a chance at #RevPit at all when I joined. But the respect w/ wc she treated my work, the insight and care, truly helped me realize there was room for me at the table. Thank you, Megan!

Day 4 post a snippet from your project. THE FUNERAL GUESTS
ALT Text is a snippet from THE FUNERAL GUESTS printed over a burning candle. Beneath the text it says In Loving Memory, crossed out in red. The hallelujahs built in volume as Kacey straightened her jacket. Was this a break in the case, or did she waste her time on a teenager’s snarky texts? She strode through the lobby, haunted by the words and photos she’d found and the quiet that hung in the air as the final note faded. As she slipped into the Chapel, she couldn’t help but think, someone in this room is a murderer.

Det. Kacey Hatley’s life revolves around her career. When a case goes sideways & it’s all taken away, she’ll let people underestimate her 5.2" stature while observing and interrogating suspects, walking the line between bitch and boss to reclaim her career.

THE FUNERAL GUESTS
Everyone has a secret at Madison Greene’s funeral, but one of them is a killer.
#RevPitClassof24
ALT THE FUNERAL GUESTS - Before the body is buried, everyone’s secrets will be unearthed. A grid of images of a casket, a clock, funeral guests, high heels, three women standing together, flowers, and a woman with a finger to her lips. In the middle, a candle with In Loving Memory written below it, then slashed through with red.
