Attention agented authors!

What’s the one piece of advice you’d give to authors currently in the query trenches.

Me, and many others are refreshing day after day to see if agents are closer to their query, or constantly refreshing their emails.

#CastPit Rules 1/2 Use hashtags specific to your project (listed below rules) for audience and genre, including #CastPit. Anyone can participate no matter the state of their WIP or finished manuscript. To give agents and publishers an idea of the story, include a pitch of quick summary of your story in the post or included in the graphics. You are allowed to like and repost posts. Only post within the given date, Nov. 13, 2025, 6am for 24 hours to Nov. 14, 2025, 6am Pacific Standard Time (World times on another slide)

#CastPit Rules 2/2 Post up to four total times within the 24-hour time window (for the same book or for different books), please space your pitches at least one hour apart. You can post the pitch with any media you’d like. (NO AI) Please use alt text if you are using images. Interact, support and swap (repost) with one another and have fun! Agent, editor, and publisher participation is welcomed and encouraged! If you are an agent or publisher, make sure in your profile description you list that you are one, if you are a writer as well, otherwise your like may be construed as just support from another writer. You can include actors, directors names and styles you list with hashtags. (Examples posted in a follow on post)
