Since bsky is an open forum, we can't control who posts under some hashtags, to ensure you're only seeing the #DVpit feed try a multisearch of #DVpit + category/genre 1) All in quotes (no #): "DVPit YA" 2) Individual quotes: "#DVPit" "#YA" (capitalization does not matter when searching hashtags)

You're so welcome! And truly, the pitch as is sounds so good already. I'm wishing you so much luck!

Peter Lopez @peterlopez.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

This is a great revision! I feel like "Only lies, wit, & a rock sling can..." could lead somewhere else... "truths able to doom all she's willing to give her life to save" feels confusing to me. I want to know more about what she has to do and what happens if she fails

Peter Lopez @peterlopez.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

and you probably won't need to use "#own" either if you need some more characters for the pitch

110

Peter Lopez @peterlopez.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

I would definitely focus on this pitch! It gives us a clearer picture of what's happening in the story. I would see if you could replace something in the middle with clearer stakes. The last line is really fantastic, though. If you need space, you could remove the title (maybe replace with comps?)

Peter Lopez @peterlopez.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

& then continue on with the rest of the pitch. If you have another way to break this into maybe two sentences, I'd be happy to see a revision. Also, don't forget that you'll want some more tags here for genre, age group, any marginalizations you might want to highlight, etc. dvpit.carrd.co#hashtags

I agree that we can break this up so it's easier to read/follow. For DVpit, you'll want one pitch per post, but a pitch can be multiple sentences. Maybe even something like "When another woman disappears, [Journalist name, or personality, etc.] must travel to a rural fishing town in Maine amidst...

Peter Lopez @peterlopez.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

This sounds very compelling! I think you should focus on this pitch, & pitches like this, for DVpit rather than the 1st one you posted. For this pitch, you could possibly remove "Ecofiction, queer lovestory" and let the tags do the work, & add something to give us a taste of Seth's personality?
