We have reports of the FIRST known offer of rep by a literary agent has been received due to #DVpit 2025! Less than 2 weeks is so fast, but is proof that the marginalized voices that participated are needed in publishing! We are so proud of everyone who put their work out there! #booksky #writersky

#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
Announcement: I will reopen to unsolicited submissions for the first week of every month starting in November! I’m only looking for YA + MG fiction. I am particularly hungry for debut voices! Also: - high-stakes plots about liars, scams, etc - fresh grounded dystopian with personal stakes - smart, cutting social commentary - meta shit and big twists - multigenerational stories - anything with a unique/risky approach or voice - ugly underbellies! gallt & zacker literary agency querytracker.net/query/querybeth www.bethphelan.com

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
