We’re taking part in #DVPit on Twitter today!
#DVPit is a Twitter-focused pitch day for writers, particularly diverse voices, to pitch their novels and ideas to a large group of editors actively looking for new writing.
How to take part
To take part, simply write a short pitch for your novel utilising hashtags to summarise what genre it is – see the list below for ideas – and use the #DVPit hashtag to get your idea in front of hundreds of editors.
Writers can pitch as many ideas as they like, and our editors will read them all.
If an editor likes your pitch that means they want to read what you currently have.
And if an editor retweets you pitch that means they would like to see it when it has become agented.
To submit to this editor, click on their Twitter handle and follow the instructions in their pinned tweet.
Our editors:
- Katie Loughnane – @katie_loughnane
- Tilda MacDonald – @MatiMcDo
- Molly Walker-Sharp – @molly_ws
- Phoebe Morgan – @Phoebe_A_Morgan
Be sure to follow them and to keep an eye out for their Twitter handle.
If one of our editors likes your pitch, submit your complete manuscript, a cover letter and a brief synopsis to avon.submissions@harpercollins.co.uk FAO {Editor’s Name} #DVPit
