Dear, dear agents, After receiving multiple form rejections that kindly include links to resources like Jane Friedman, QueryShark, MSWL, and QueryTracker… I need to vent a little. (thread 👇) #querying #writing #writingcommunity #literaryagent

Yesterday, I’ve seen so many amazing pitches, #DVPit ! Just remember: not getting likes, or only one or a few, doesn’t mean your story isn’t good. Think about how many pitches agents had to sift through. So, wishing you all the best of luck 🤞 🤞🤞in the query trenches!

Wishing everyone participating in #DVPit the best of luck today! 🍀 We’ve already done something amazing: we wrote a story. That’s worth celebrating—no matter what happens next. #DVPARTY

#DVPARTY day 6 new WIP! Losely based on Fame: In the mid-80s with Live Aid rising and AIDS looming, a shy gay teen in London and a bold bi singer in New York connect through a music mag ad. As they chase fame and trade letters, they fight for identity and love in a time that fears both.

#DVPARTY Day 5: a peek into Brent’s playlists. Naturally, his own track—the one he wrote in a fit of rage—is in there. But shhh 🤫, it’s a secret. No one’s supposed to know. #YA #LGBT #CR

#DVPARTY day 4 a sweet one: I whirl around, my wet Vans almost sliding on the floor, trying to get as far from that beast as possible—and tumble straight into two strong arms. I jerk back. A boy my age stands in front of me, his dark brown face framed by cornrows, eyes wide and locked on mine.

#DVPARTY Day 4 memes: Two cats. Four amber eyes. They stare at me. My mind immediately floods with images of countless others watching: classmates, random people on the street, Julie. Every time their hateful, disgusted gazes fixed on me, I longed to sink into the ground and disappear. #YA #LGBT #CR

EVERYTHING GETS CANCELED is about rumors and what it means for a 17yo singer to crash from viral fame to cancellation. Here’s the article that kicks off my story—and the opening lines of Chapter One Fight or Flight! #DVPARTY #YA #LGBT #CR #demi
