2 options, personally!
1) sometimes people suck at writing pitches, so until I personally have time to take a look at the sample pages there's just No Decision
OR!!
2) it's one of those pitches that i could totally be into but i'm going thru one of those "i don't want this RIGHT NOW" phases

Curious to know how you/other agents you know deliberate on queries (response timeline makes sense in my brain for fulls but for initial pitch, it's not just a hell yes or no for you?)

Deeply upset that they’re essentially shuttering TeenVogue. The progressive writing was THE reason to read it.

One of my least rational beliefs is that if you pull off a heist without hurting anyone or getting caught within a day, that's your stuff fair and square.

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

Why are solar punk romcoms not a thing? Of all the worlds we can travel to in fiction ... in romance we always seem to end up in the same sad version of our current reality or a completely fantastical one.

In BRIGHTER THAN THE SUN, agent of chaos Ahana must team up with her awkward workplace nemesis Sam to win an $11M wildfire technology contract.
If they can't work together, they'll lose the project to a shady competitor as California wildfires get more frequent. 😱

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections
