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.

One rumor destroys everything Brent built with his music. The demi, fat, sassy teen bolts to Amsterdam, leaving his songs—and himself—behind. But a closeted football star, gossip, and a viral, anonymous song force him to choose: redemption or risk outing the boy he’s falling for

LOVE SIMON x KISS & TELL
One rumor wrecks his reputation
One boy makes him feel seen
One song could ruin them both

As gossip swirls, Brent drops an anonymous track—and people think it’s about the closeted soccer star beside him. But owning the song could out the boy he loves.

🖤Just one rumor wrecks fat, sassy 17yo Brent’s singing career
🤍His escape: Amsterdam—until his bond with a closeted football star sparks gossip
💜As the press closes in, he anonymously drops a track that blows up
🩶But reclaiming his voice could expose the boy he’s falling for

Oh, there’s plenty of sass and lots of cats (and kittens) in Brent’s story!

Take: a demi, fat, sassy, canceled singer
Add: a plan to hide out in Amsterdam
Mix in: a closeted football star, a cat café, and swirling gossip
Result: a viral song that could save his career—or expose the football star he’s falling for
