I've been a bit silent on socials lately so it's time to introduce myself again for all my new followers. ❤️

I'm K. J. Harrowick (Kat), a SFF author who also lingers in nonfiction. By day I'm the co-founder and CTO of @iknowwhyshestayed.bsky.social - at night I roam the dark halls of strange worlds.

Years ago, when I was a mentee hopeful, the silence during the submission window was always the worst.

Good morning! For anyone who loves data, here are some snapshots of this year's #WriteHive #HiveMentor submissions.

Science Fiction and Mystery/Suspense were the most surprising (in a good way) trends this year. 🥰
November 19, 2025 at 12:57 PM
#WriteHive #HiveMentor submissions are officially CLOSED. ❤️

A huge thank you to everyone who submitted! This is definitely going to be the year of very hard choices.

I'm only about 2/3 of my way to creating a long list, but I'll have some data soon. In the meantime, keep writing... or reading.🥰

This is my process, so other mentor processes may vary.🥰
