I need to send emails tonight because I am very behind due to this dang cold or whatever virus/parasite is refusing to leave. But since #dvpit is tomorrow and I’ll be at my computer anyway, I can critique a few last-minute pitches that need some not-so-gentle love.

#AskDV as a previously published author do the publishers always rely on bookscan for signing authors even though we’ve moved on to new genres? I see that some authors have multiple pen names for this reason. Any suggestions here?

#AskDV Marginalized books especially BiPOC authors are scrutinized much more, and I understand that it’s gotten better but as gatekeepers what efforts can still be made/ or rather agents are making? I realize pub is such a mess and none of it is in anyone’s control but still I think changeis needed
