#AskDV (Day 2)

Hosted by DVpit Committee
Sep 24, 2026 Virtual Online Stream

About the Event

The second live, one-hour virtual Q&A session on Bluesky where unagented writers can ask a new panel of active literary agents questions about pitching, querying, and the traditional publishing industry.


Don't forget to join the DVpit Discord: https://discord.com/invite/cYd8T3tFvK

QueryTo's Take

This second session features prominent literary agents representing major agencies. It offers invaluable diverse viewpoints on what makes a pitch or query stand out just days before the main pitching event.

Insider Tip

This is the second agent Q&A event, featuring a completely different panel of literary agents. It’s an excellent chance to get a second opinion on querying and industry standards. Remember, do not pitch your manuscript during this Q&A hour!

Participation Rules

  • All questions must include the #AskDV hashtag.
  • Do not spam the feed; the agents will check the feed throughout the hour.
  • Do not pitch your work or ask for pitch-perfection help during this session.
  • Be respectful of fellow participants and the volunteering literary agents.
