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
