#DVpit inspired me to reopen to queries sooner than I'd planned... Starting Nov 2025, I'll be open to unsolicited queries the first week of every month! Still just YA + MG fiction... Really hungry for 🤩 debut voices... You'll be able to submit here: querytracker.net/querybeth #mswl

Some good news! After all that, only O.03% of families opted out of LGBTQ+ Education in Maryland after the Supreme Court gave them the ability to do so. Not just a majority, not just most families, nearly all families want their kids to have access to this education. We are the majority

After SCOTUS gave families a right to opt out of LGBTQ+ education, Montgomery County, Maryland is reporting only 43 families took them up on it.

DVpit #querying Tip: As you scroll the feed make note of which agents like pitches in similar categories/genres as yours & add them to your general querying list! The feed is so busy, they might've missed yours, but if they're liking similar stories that means it's something they want in their inbox

Alright I have to leave #DVpit to go to a meeting. I'll likely keep scrolling if I have time at my paying job over the next couple of days. I hope this was awesome for everyone, and if you didn't get likes or interest, know it's a LOT to look through and not everyone saw your pitches. Keep going!

The #DVPit pitches are 🔥! Sooooo many amazing pitches and I KNOW I’m going to miss some. No worries, though—I’m opening more widely next week.
I’m still going through pitches throughout the evening, but if you think we’re a good fit & I didn’t ❤️ your pitch, 🙏🏾 also consider querying me next week!

Looking forward to #DVPit tomorrow! If I heart your pitch, please query as normal (letter + ~25 pages), but add "#DVPit" somewhere in the subject line, and include the text of the post I hearted somewhere in your query letter. Can't wait to find projects I didn't know I wanted.

I am very behind on my queries and requested material reading, so I'm going to close to queries at the end of the week for a short time until I'm caught up. Feel free to query in the meantime.

Just a reminder, I will open the first week of Oct and then I will be closed the rest of the year! The only exception will be pitch events (so excited for @dvpit.bsky.social), they will get special links to query.
I'll be using Nov/Dec to read and get to inbox zero and working on client projects!

Heads up! I will be open for queries my usual first week of the month in October and then I will be closed the rest of the year (November and December). I will reopen January 1st!
I will still be participating in pitch events, but those will get special links to use for while I am closed.
