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 👇)

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!

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

#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 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.
