I.P.K Hey

#DVpit (Diverse Voices Pitch) is a Bluesky event for marginalized creators that have been historically underrepresented in publishing to pitch their work to agents & editors. Post your pitch on Bluesky on Wednesday, Oct 8, 2025 between 8AM ET - 8PM ET. Your pitch must include the #DVpit hashtag (illustrators pitching their art must use #DVArt) A like ❤️ from an agent = a query request A repost 🔁 from an editor = interest in submission once you've signed with an agent A like ❤️ from an editor = editor who takes unagented submissions Please do not like or repost a pitch if you are not an agent or an editor. Support other creators by replying to their pitch or quote-reposting their pitches. Visit dvpit.carrd.co for more detailed guidelines.

Less than a month until #DVpit, a pitch event for marginalized creators looking to find an agent & get traditionally published! Here's a reminder of the rules!

Before #preDV & #DVPit thought I'd repost some pitching advice(1/7)
Here's a simple pitch rubric:

[CHARACTER] is/lives [STATUS QUO] until [INCITING INCIDENT]. Now if they don’t [MAIN GOAL] then [CONSEQUENCES].
OR
[MAIN MOTIVATION] only problem is [MAIN CONFLICT/HURDLE]

e.g. my old 140 char pitch:

Spies. Secrets. Seduction. ✨

Get an early copy of Once Bitten, Twice Spy—a sci fi romantasy with danger, intrigue, and a romance that bites.

I'm 15,000 days old today and as a special treat, I'm relaunching my website with the help of @rachelkitch.bsky.social design studios. I'm so thrilled that this beautiful website can reflect my stories and books with its beautiful branding, color scheme, and design.

Thank you, Rachel!

A mock movie poster with the title Blackwell's Mask. A pale mask of a simplistic woman's face is sitting in grass with flowers.

What would you do to break your own curse? Miss Blackwell is willing to hide her identity and join a dangerous expedition for the slim chance to stop her petrification and keep her freedom.

I'm so excited to finally announce that my poem, "Away Message," is featured in MacMillan Children's new poetry anthology "You're Never Too Much: Poems For Every Emotion" releasing on September 4th.

This is such a great project to have been part of and I'm thrilled to see it finally in print. ♥️

Being chronically ill and an author is such a fun combo because what do you mean some days I can knock out 2000 words in one go but some days the brain fog is so intense I don't remember what some characters look like

Where it all begins, this is Blackwell's Mask. It is a fantasy still in the querying stage

Even the best of us eat sidewalk every once and a while

Going from Tiktok to blusky is such a jump! I really need to learn how it works especially as an (unpublished working on that part) author

Missed out on doing QuestPit so I'm posting my finished #agentsguide here! #amquerying #fantasy
