I have, and it’s not been good. I've revised this dang MS SO many times. Other writers love the premise, the Voice, the MC & LI, the deep POV. I’ve worked with betas/CPs, and I’ve had two different freelance editors tell me it’s “so close to publication." But I can't get an agent for the life of me.

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
