Last year, I got several offers of representation and my amazing agent through #DVPit, so wanted to share some tips I found helpful on Twitter pitching. 🧵 (1/10)
Include subgenre hashtags! A lot of agents/editors search for books based on the subgenre hashtags so the more you have that relate to your book, the easier it is to find. Ex: #OWN (own voices), #YA (young adult), etc. More can be found here: dvpit.com/rules-guidelin… (2/10)
Pitch in the style of the way your book (or portfolio) is. For example, if you’re writing a humorous picture book, write a humorous pitch and add #PB. If you’re pitching as an author-illustrator for a graphic novel, include a sample of a page or spread and add #DVArt #GN. (3/10)

As a former book marketing and publicity professional, I have some thoughts. Thread below. #WritingCommunity
Firstly, and I've said this many times, but the #WritingCommunity is not your audience. HOWEVER, look to your fellow community members who have published successfully in your genre and see who's following them. Study their timelines to see how to get the same following. 2/
If you write #kidlit: mommy bloggers. Get your book into their hands. Most bloggers prefer physical copies, so be prepared for that. Try starting a parenting blog of your own, or a review blog of kids' content (books, movies, TV).
