#DVpit - Diverse Voices Pitch @dvpit.bsky.social · 29/09/2025

Some FAQs that have come up in 2025 for the new #DVpit on Bluesky! We Discourage the use of Agent Guides, Pitches or Excerpts as attached graphics to pitches. It bogs down the feed & doesn't allow agents to get through as many pitches. We'd like to allow everyone a fair shot at making an impression

I'm beyond happy for @shristivaidya.bsky.social who is a #PBParty2025 finalist! I not only loved her story (both beautifully written and heartfelt), but perhaps even more, I loved watching Shristi work so hard to make it amazing. HUGE CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU!!🎉 #kidlit #writing #writingcommunity

My husband and I met in grad school. On our 1st V-Day, we had huge essays due the next day. We ordered in Chinese food, put on a romcom for ambience and wrote. 14 years later, it's our tradition. Tonight, we'll order Chinese food and watch a romcom. (No #writing essays tho.)❤️
