COMING SOON 👀

One lunar prison. Two condemned men.
Jack is a criminal with a blood-soaked past. Elias is an entomologist caught in a web of lies.
In isolation, affection blooms.
Beneath the surface, something ancient stirs.

A faux movie poster for Babel on Callisto showing two astronauts in white space suits floating above the surface of a purple, cratered moon. A large, faint image of a creature’s face with round eyes and an open mouth is visible in the background, blending into the dark starry space. Text at the top reads, “From the producers of Annihilation and Brokeback Mountain.” Below is the tagline, “In isolation, affection blooms. Beneath the surface, something ancient stirs.” The title “Babel on Callisto” is displayed in large white letters, with the subtitle “A queer cosmic horromance” underneath.

But she’s off-limits—and only in Berlin for the summer.

GODKILLER X BONE SHARD DAUGHTER

A desperate heir. A disgraced warrior. A deadly assassin.

Background: Ferns Title Card Text: An Agent's Guide To: The Daughter and the Nameless Son by Kelton Davis | Adult Fantasy | WIP | Estimated at 109K words Arriving in Query Inboxes August 2025 Background: Ferns | Six images surrounding a quote: A red forest, a sunset, hammer striking hot metal, red arrow fletching, an old, grizzle man, and a red-haired woman archer. Text: "You might be too broken to help me yourself," she said, all pretense of courtesy gone, "but if you're a shadow of the man he said you were, you ought to still know something at least. "Have you ever heard of an assassin who could change their shape?" Background: Ferns Title: Comps Images: Covers of GODKILLER by Hannah Kaner, THE JUSTICE OF KINGS by Richard Swan, and THE BONE SHARD DAUGHTER by Andrew Stewart. Arrows connect similarities between comps. Text: From GODKILLER: Cross-Country Quest to Forbidden Land, Surrogate Parenthood (shared with THE JUSTICE OF KINGS) From BONE SHARD DAUGHTER: Disgraced Heir, Strong FMC (shared with both others) Background: Ferns Title: Pitch Text: Niozene has never been good enough. As the crown heir to the Mother, the living goddess that rules her country, perfection is not merely a goal; it is the base expectation, and one she’s never been able to live up to. Her flawless scholar’s education and polished career as a ranger have failed to convince the Mother to look past her greatest mistake: she was born without the holy power that grants her family their divine right to rule. When a shape-changing assassin nearly kills the Mother on Niozene’s watch, she officially runs out of time to impress. She is stripped of her titles and given a choice: return with the assassin’s head, or face excommunication—banishment from both her homeland and the afterlife. Desperate, she accepts the task as her last chance to show the Mother she deserves a place as her daughter. Allowed only the help of another excommunicated criminal, a surly, aged tracker named Sonsan, and facing an assassin who could be anyone, she dreads she has lost her chance to return home before she has even left. But when Sonsan reveals the same shape-changing power as the assassin, she realizes there is more to her quest than she has been told. As they chase the assassin deep into a forbidden land, they must confront the buried history they discover they share, as well as the ghosts that haunt their dreams and blood, if they are to return alive.

INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE X BURY OUR BONES IN THE MIDNIGHT SOIL

Delaney wants to become a vampire. Riccardo isn't inclined to offer it when asked. But that's far from a promise of freedom for Delaney from the deadly game Riccardo decides to play with his brand new obsession.

#WIPPit #A #Q
Agent's guide to Shadows of Ourselves by Nicole Field, a 91k words 1980s inspired gothic vampire horror. One man's trajectory to self destruction across 5 long years. Text from opening reads: “It hasn’t been that long since I was turned into a vampire, I suppose. Less than eighty years. Not even a century. I only wish I knew… what I was supposed to do with the rest of it.” “Rest of what?” I asked, from between lips that seemed to have gone numb at some point before this point in the conversation. “What do you think? Immortality, of course.” Pitch: What do you do when a vampire tells you, "Run"? You do as you're told and try not to die. Unless he's willing to bring you back. Comps are Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil, Running Close to the Wind, Dark Rise and MADK.

The tangled mysteries of Dark meet the emotional resonance of A Wrinkle in Time, with the speculative science of The Three-Body Problem and the heartfelt tethers of His Dark Materials.

More below, also in the Alt text. Feedback appreciated, thanks!

#wippit #SF #YA #LGBT #LF #FBW
Brilliance Overland is a prodigy who craves answers and adventure. Her invention— latticed entanglement aperture passthroughs (LEAP)—opens a quantum-based wormhole to a world more advanced, yet far more backward than she imagined. With her best friend Annie, Brilliance enrolls at Avram Circle, the premier science academy in a system of interlinked worlds, hoping to unravel their origins. But in a place where every relationship is entangled, every truth is knotted with lies, and every discovery leads to deeper complexity, Brilliance finds that her will and scientific principles alone can’t untangle the mess. Brilliance relies on Annie’s empathy to navigate the social brambles rooted in this new world, but as Brilliance buries her own “unproductive” feelings, Annie’s patience frays. When their friendship is tested, Brilliance must confront the tethers that bind her: Unspoken grief for her mother, whose voice and lessons echo as AI in her mind; the causal chains that connect her actions to unintended consequences; and the realization that even in a universe of infinite possibility, some bonds—of love, loss, and home—are impossible to sever. To survive forces that want to control them, Brilliance must learn that true understanding isn’t just about unraveling mysteries, but about embracing the beautiful, messy tangle of relationships and the tethers that hold us together—even across worlds. Themes: - Quantum entanglement as a metaphor for the complexity and messiness of relationships, regardless of time or distance. - Tethering as both a source of strength (home, love, memory) and a challenge (grief, responsibility, causality) - The interplay between scientific genius and emotional intelligence - The search for origins—of worlds, of self, of the bonds that shape us

A Healer’s Scars #WIPPIT #F #H #OWN #LGBT #POC #A

Brielle's team sets out to save a haunted orphanage. Will they succeed or succumb to the malicious magic born there?

Moodboard for a novel which is a work in progress by Elisa Winther, with the working title "A Healer's Scars". It will be the first book in a series, written in third person limited through multiple points of view. The image includes a square with the working title "Healer WIP" and it's genre "Dark Fantasy", but it also includes a romantic subplot. At the top, from left to right, there is an image with someone sitting by a wall with their head in their hands, cloth draped about their waist that trails on the floor towards the camera. There are masks on the cloth. The second image has arms breaking free from cobwebs in a dark setting. The third has paper with the text "the past" on it, burning. Below those last two describe images is one of a skull laying among green moss. The bottom row of images is one of bottles reading "Forget", one of dark robed people holding one in a white gown up as if in sacrifice, and a black background with "I can't go back" repeated all over the image.
