I've been using Querytracker.net for many years with no luck, so I'm hoping to find a good fit at Pitchfest!

We have a get together coming up today @ 1pm CT to get to know everyone! Please join if you can, we'd love to meet up

Also know, it’s super casual you don’t have to have your camera on or speak if you don’t want to, but if you’d like to join, meet some of the other members from Savvy, get some ideas, or just chat about what’s going on in your life, we’d love to have you!

Meet at 1pm CT here!

It's time to vote for your favorite opening three lines.

We had another great turnout, so a HUGE thank you to those who shared. These are fantastic. It's going to be SO hard to pick!

Please vote HERE.

The voting will close Sunday March 9 at 11:59 pm. EST, and winner will be contacted and announced on Monday March 10.

If you have any trouble, please email us at [email protected].

Thanks!

Hello, I’m happy to be a part of the community!

Seeing some familiar “faces” here and happy to see them. Looking forward to working with new people and building new projects. I’m heading into retirement and wanting to bring my writing with me but my own way. I’m also training to be a Library Tech so all the insight about writing that I can glean here will help me when I talk to patrons about their reading!
Thanks for having me.

Hi there! My ebook "10 Tips to Jumpstart a Haiku" is out from Amazon, welcoming all passionate haiku writers to join a free discussion group.

Hi everyone. I'm a former romance writer and now write humorous PI fiction. I live in Michigan and can't wait to pitch my new project!

Hi yall! I write gay romance novels and am new to Savvy Authors. After a critique partner recommended, I'm excited to dive in.

Say hi if...

• You write/have written lgbtq+ romance.
• You read/have read lgbtq+ romance. If so, share what you've read or are reading!

Write now I'm in the query trenches, and would love to see what others are reading. Here are some of my favorites:

• "Him/Us/Epic" - Sarina Bowen, Elle Kennedy
• "Boyfriend/Husband Material," London Calling Series - Alexis Hall
• "Red White and Royal Blue" - Casey McQueston

Women write a lot of the gay romances I enjoy (which is totally cool), and I'm hoping my books will join their ranks. Having fun as a married gay man writing gay fiction.

Hi everyone! Excited to join this community. Right now, I'm writing m/m romance novels and looking forward to learning from the group + participating in the upcoming Pitchfest. Trying to make the leap from indie publishing to trad, with past projects at www.KraineKreative.com. Looking forward to connecting!

Happy Monday!

We hope you are enjoying the new updates and you've checked out our on-demand video classes, lecture packages, and new groups. As March fast approaches and hopefully winter leaves, it's time for another contest.

Post your opening three sentences in your current work-in-progress for a chance to win a VIP subscription.

Contest will remain open until Sunday March 2nd at 11:59 p.m. EST. Members will vote on their favorite entry.

Please email us if you have any questions. We can't wait to see what you come up with!

Thanks!

Hello. I just joined. One of my critique partners told me about this group and suggested I join. I have been writing for a few years, mostly for kids, but I occasionally write something for adults. I have been published in magazines and anthologies, but none of my books have been published YET. There is still time.

Feel free to introduce yourself and what brings you here. Looking forward to scheduling our first meeting as people sign up for this brainstorming group.

Hi writers!

I'm new, and as the only weirdo who decided to been born an extroverted writer, I'm so glad to have found this community. I'm the author of two self-published fantasy novels (although that was some years ago) and am using the 'excuse' of maternity to finally try for my lifelong dream of sitting around and writing books full-time.

Last year I finished a Middle Grade novel draft, which is currently out for edits with a professional editor, and am nearing the end of drafting a dystopian-fantasy YA that's been insisting on being written for about a decade now. Despite this, writing feels like a slog right now, I'm currently at that tricky 30% ish 'fun and games' mark (IYKYK) of something else. I know, I'm a maniac - but when I'm not writing I have to look after a toddler and baby ok...

Looking forward to making all of your acquaintance (acquaintances?) over time Fun fact: I live in South Africa, so I am now a member of SA from SA!

Best,
Katya

If you found your way here--Welcome to Unlock Your Block.

We will be picking a date/time in the next week as more people join this group.

Feel free to introduce yourself.

If you're feeling stuck, tell us what's going on at least three days before the monthly meeting that we will soon be setting up.

If you are here to participate in brainstorming to help stuck writers, include in your introduction what you enjoy about brainstorming.


If you have any questions, let me know.

Hey all!

Just a quick reminder that Pitchfest 2025 is coming NEXT MONTH!

Our Pitchfest is a great chance to land that perfect agent or sell your book to the publisher of your dreams! We open up the SavvyAuthor’s site for three fun-filled and exciting days where you post your pitch on our blog to a bevy of agents and editors. We will be announcing names by the end of the month.

We hope to see you there! If you’d like to join, sign up HERE.

Reach out to me at [email protected] if you have any questions.

Hi everyone, all the updates we mentioned previously here and here are now live!

If you go to the SavvyAuthors homepage now, you’ll see all of the new content we have to offer like On Demand courses, weekly or monthly get togethers, and more!

We’re of course going to continue offering classes as we always have so no worries, if that’s your preferred learning-style then nothing will change!

But on that note, we also have new subscriptions! To be clear, a subscription is not and never will be a requirement to use SavvyAuthors, but if you do subscribe you’ll support the site and get discounts on any courses you take.

We hope you love all of the changes and if you have any questions, please leave them below!

Also on the technical side - if anyone has trouble logging in or getting around the site, please let us know below or contact us here

Hello!

We just wanted to send a quick reminder that the site is going to be updated tomorrow (Wednesday February 12) and will be down for a short period of time while we make those changes (Adding subscriptions, On Demand classes, clubs, and more!)

We’re excited for these changes and hope you are too! Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions or need anything.

Thanks!
