New Here: A Fellow Book Addict Who Loves Fixing Stories

Hey everyone, I’m Lit Wright.

I’m the kind of person who will stay up until 3am because a manuscript has me in a chokehold. I read over 200 books a year, cry at good endings, and get genuinely excited when I spot a diamond in the rough of a rough draft.

I spend most of my time deep in other people’s manuscripts, finding plot holes, strengthening characters, tightening pacing, and helping writers turn messy first drafts into stories they’re actually proud of.

I’m a big believer in honest but kind feedback. I’ll cheer for what’s working and gently tell you what’s not (because I’ve been there too).

If you’re working on a novel, short story, or any kind of fiction and you’re looking for:

Beta reading

Developmental feedback

Or just someone who actually understands your vision

…you’re welcome here.

I’m new on Tumblr, so feel free to say hi 👋 Tell me what you’re currently writing genre or what stage you’re at with your WIP.

I reply to almost everyone.

Let’s talk stories.

[litwright]

Writers, let’s talk about that one scene.

You know the one, the scene you’re secretly proud of. The one that made you smile while writing it. The one you re-read every so often.

Drop the genre + one sentence about your favorite scene in the comments. I’d love to hear it.

(And if that scene still needs work, my DMs are open. 😌)

3 Common Things That Make Readers Put Your Book Down:

1. Your protagonist is reactive instead of proactive for the first 8 chapters 2. The stakes are “I might be sad” instead of “I might lose everything.” 3. The middle sags because you’re scared to make things worse for your characters.

I see these in almost every other manuscript I read.

Which one are you guilty of right now? Be honest. 👀

Ready to Help Writers

Hey, Writeblr,

I’m Lit Wright, the chaotic book gremlin who reads 200+ books a year and genuinely enjoys dissecting manuscripts at 2 am.

I love finding the hidden potential in messy drafts. Plot holes don’t scare me. Flat characters get character development arcs. Messy middles get whipped into shape.

I offer honest but kind beta reading and developmental feedback. My goal is simple: help you make your story the best version of itself.

If you’re tired of your WIP staring at you judgmentally, I’m here.

Tell me, what genre do you write, and what’s one thing you’re struggling with in your current story?

I reply to almost everyone.

[litwright]

Writers, quick question:

When you finish your first draft, what do you usually do next?

A) Celebrate, then hide the file for months B) Send it straight to beta readers C) Start editing it yourself immediately D) Something else?

Vote + tell me why in the comments 👇

POV: You finish beta reading a manuscript at 2AM…

…and the plot twist actually makes you scream into your pillow 😭

Nothing beats that feeling when a story hits different.

What’s the last book or manuscript that genuinely shocked or moved you? Drop it below 👇

5 signs your first chapter might be turning readers away:

1. Character waking up in the first scene 2. Too many names on page 1 3. No conflict or stakes in the opening 4. Big info-dumps about the world/backstory 5. It feels too similar to other books in your genre

Save this if you're revising your draft 📖

Which one are you guilty of? Tell me below 👇

[litwright]

Writers, be honest with me 👀

What’s the ONE thing in your current manuscript that you KNOW needs work… but you’ve been avoiding it?

For me, it’s always the middle chapters that try to sneak by

Drop your confession in the comments. No judgment here, we’ve all been there.

And if you want kind but honest feedback on it later, my DMs are open

Introduction Myself

Hey writers 👋

I’m Lit Wright, a massive book lover who spends way too many late nights deep in manuscripts.

I live for that magical moment when a story finally clicks into place. Plot holes, flat characters, messy middles… I actually enjoy fixing them (yes, I’m weird like that 😅).

If you’ve just finished (or are struggling with) your draft and want fresh, honest eyes on it, I’d love to be part of your journey.

Drop a 🔥 if you’re currently working on a book. What genre are you writing?
