We will never police any #DVpit participant's identity. But please note that this is an event for *Diverse Voices from marginalized communities*, which means identities historically un- or underrepresented in traditional publishing. More info: dvpit.carrd.co

If an agent favorites a pitch, how soon do we need to get a query out? E.g., if we want to polish things a bit, can we delay a few weeks? #AskDV

#AskDV What are some overdone elements in YA Fantasy that will make you stop reading the pitch, query and/or the opening pages? Thank you so much for answering our questions!

For MG gothic mystery with a speculative element (a botanical transformation), should the pitch lead with the mystery or the speculative hook? Where do agents see the line between gothic mystery and MG fantasy? #AskDv

How long does a query letter pitch need to be? #AskDV

Will there be agents and editors who accept MG and YA? #AskDV

Will the agents and editors take someone who is not from their country? #AskDV

Will the agents and editors be of diverse background? Will there be any agents or editors from Australia? When can we find out who the agents participating are? #AskDV

How will agents and editors deal with culturally sensitive topics/storyline? #AskDV

My story is written in Australian English with occasional Australian slang. Will I have to change my English if my book is accepted by an agent in US or UK? #AskDV

Buffer won’t let me schedule any more #preDV pitch. I can’t post my pitch. Is anyone else having this issue?

Been on the road all day, but have finally found a moment to log on and review #PreDV pitches. Hopefully I'll provide some helpful suggestions to help you craft those winning pitches 🤗
