@DVpit_ @amylizbishop @RebeccaPodos @normajeanesays @polooroz @TakahashiPerry @deebazargarpur #askdvpit what is the 1 thing you’re tired of seeing in queries and first pages?Queries written in 1st person from the character's POV *never* works for me. #askDVpit

Hi #askDVpit! Do all agents have a standard submission guideline format or do each agent have their own preferred formats?Every agency, sometimes agents within the same one, will have different sub guidelines. (Lack of standardization is a problem we do need to address.) KT Lit switched over to QueryManager, like many others, and I keep email queries open as an option for accessibility. #askDVpit

Audrey Ruoff is querying @MsAGoldberg
#AskDVPit I've had feedback that I shouldn't mention a bisexual MC in my query letter bc the main LI is a man and this might not be "queer enough" for publishing. Her identity is obvious in the book; should I leave it (and mine, as a bi person in an f/m ship) out of the query?If an agent is sending feedback that questions whether a queer author's novel is "queer enough"... you do not want to work with them. #askDVpit

Nicoletta (she/they) says SUPPORT LOCAL BOOKSTORES @NicolettaWrites
#askDVpitIf an agent likes my pitch, but I already queried them in the past and they either rejected or never responded, should I still submit to them again?
I recently reworked my submission materials after receiving helpful feedback, so I'm wondering if it'd be ok to re-query.
I personally am always happy to hear from writers again (though if it's the same project, it would have be revised pretty heavily)—especially if it's a request this time around. #askDVpit

@DVpit_ When we are pitching in tweets, should we include the genre as a hashtag or just in the text of the post? #AskDVPitHashtags are helpful for agents/editors who are searching for projects in specific genres! #askdvpit
