#askDVpit what often gets writers in your revise and resubmit pile rather than an offer?

though i'm an editor, i def see R&Rs as a positive! if i request an R&R, it means i'm really invested in the potential of the project, it just needs a little bit more work before i'm ready to take it on. there's lots of reasons that go into it, but one reason for me is #askDVpit

Sana ✨ @sanalikesbooks

Any advice on how to capture a quieter book in a tweet? Ex. a story with speculative elements rather than a full fantasy #askDVpit

comps can be really helpful here to aid in pitching a novel with more speculative elements. regardless of genre, it's important to know the hook--what makes your book stand out? what will resonate the most with readers? if you can pull at my heartstrings, even better! #askDVpit

Rayah Jaymes @RayahJaymes

@deebazargarpur With GN requests, I'm seeing a lot of agents request that when querying, I attach character reference pages, script, thumbnails, at least 5 illustrated pages, and the outline. So I was curious if this would be easier to access and view on a website/page.
Replying to @RayahJaymes

oh, i understand! i believe if the website functions as a portfolio of your work, as a central, easy to access location for your work, it could be helpful. though if agents are looking for something to download and evaluate more closely, it could be slightly difficult. #askDVpit

#askDVpit

I would love to hear about your journey from tweet to agent as far as timeline. Did you query soon after?
Replying to @AngelicaMonai

though i participated in a different pitch contest, from tweet to agent, i sent my fulls out the next day (after doing research on agents who liked my tweet) and then received my first offer of rep after a week, and made a decision about two weeks later! #askDVpit
