Projection film on a light table Text: 3 Days until #CastPit #CastPit Question Countdown Question #2 Would your book be a TV series or a movie? If you say TV series, would you agree if it was turned into a one-shot 2-hour movie with hopes of a sequel? Or would you hold out for a TV deal? And vise versa: movie to series?

There's some discourse happening on Threads about authors gatekeeping their publishing journey information. (yeah I know.) Sharing information is helpful, but not required, & not available to everyone. So I've made a questionnaire about the query & publishing journey. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...
Query Letter and Publishing Journey Questionnaire
Hello! I have been too involved in the "publishing journey gatekeeping" conversation on Threads (iykyk) and I understand writers' desire to see how other people did it so they can try to guess/predict...

The upper two thirds of this moodboard feature a warm orange and black palette while the bottom third with more black and white with a close of on a fencing sabre’s guard, light shining down into a cave, and a crystal. The top two thirds have dice falling, an orange sub at sunset, abstract images that look like silhouettes casting magic, and in the center are three silhouettes backlit by an orange sunset, looking off into the distance.

It's my birthday today! 🎂 That means I get to ask for free shares of my art, right? 👉👈
Digital artwork of a man and woman standing outside on a winter night, as blood red northern lights blaze in the sky overhead. The man is bundled up in a winter jacket and beanie, and the woman wears a thin, shimmery black dress and thorny crown, a lit candle melting in her hand. Digital illustration of a Japanese man in scifi style samurai with carbon fiber armor under his formal robes and a topknot. He's unsettling a shiny blade, as rain pours down. Behind him looms a huge high tech palace, with cherry blossom trees planted around it. Digital illustration of a harvest witch, standing in a field, her copper blonde curly hair blowingin the wind with the fall leaves from the tree behind her. She's holding a carved jack-o-lantern and a straw broom, wearing an orange and cream dress and corset with a knitted vest. Digital artwork of an air genasi and a human man about to kiss, as a shower of purple sparkles rain around them.

Foundling Finn has a secret: he's terrified of sharks. When raiders attack his shark-loving community, he's the last person who can help. But when a terrifying-looking sand tiger shark shares its bond with him, he must venture across the Aedenic Ocean to reunite his shoal.

#QuestPit #YA #W #F 🦈✨
a picture of a blåhaj pasted over a photo of the ocean, with the words "the complete guide to Sharkfinn by Arlen Ren" and "a YA eco-fantasy" with yellow sparkles Pitch: When 15yo foundling Finn skips the age-old threshing ceremony, the resulting shark bite costs him his future as an atlaesi, protector of the shoal. But when raiders attack his home and its sharks, Finn must team up with fellow survivors Makina - and the terrifying-looking sand tiger shark whose anima he now apparently shares - to reunite their community and save their sharks. As they venture across the vast beauty of the Nation of the Waves, they discover that the raiders' reign of terror extends far beyond their own tiny shoal, and that if they are to stop them, they must go to depths none would ever have believed possible. Excerpt: The gentle waves lapped at the lone raftway that stuck out from all the others, right at the edge of the shoal's outer structures. At its end was the threshing pool. Finn's heart beat harder as he approached it, his legs starting to wobble. The sea lurched on either side of him, the water night-black and infinitely deep, the moonlight reduced to a glimmering sheen that gilded it. The submerged pool stretched to beyond where he could see its borders, with even the closest of its posts barely visible at all. As if in response to Finn's presence, several fins broke the water. Read if you like...The Golden Compass by Philip Pullman, The Neptune Project by Polly Holyoke and Exodus by Julie Bertagna; animal companions, the magic of nature, epic adventure and eco fantasy. YA for younger teens!

Ró always found eating hearts to be vile, even if it grants humans magical powers. But her town’s leader craves the heart of a seductive water spirit, and Ró yearns to impress.
Succeed and earn a much-needed boon from the town leader, fail, and it’ll be her heart on a plate🫀

FRIEREN x HUNDRED THOUSAND KINGDOMS

When Kasetris discovers her husband is alive, she leaves her life as a pampered prisoner in the Court of Gods to rescue him from an underground labyrinth. But freeing him means rekindling a rebellion—and they already lost the first round.

On an island quietly haunted by ghosts of grieving women, a depressed chocolatier teams up with five strangers—with scars of their own—to find their killer. Of the six, only five are really alive.

“She makes death taste like chocolate.” Picture of a girl in a white dress in a dark lake with her arm over her chest and white roses over her torso. “Grave of flowers by Dua Ceren Ay” Grave of Flowers by Dua Ceren Ay Opening Lines: Every sane person knows better than to paint their walls eggshell white, but electric blue? That had to be a crime. Like whoever decided on the color scheme of this place was avoiding the topic altogether; yes, we were all crazy in here, and yes, we all knew they wanted to avoid the clichés. So, no straitjackets, no padded rooms, no dull hospital gowns, just rooms and rooms and rooms of color until we bored ourselves to sleep or knocked ourselves out from the overstimulation. We had Kelsie the high schooler folks who had become regulars around here liked to call Iron Fist—to thank for that demonstration. It was just that the windows didn't open from the bottom, everything had a soft edge or lock, and the nurses had a way of always smiling at us as if we birthed their children. It was the little things that poked me. So it was even more ridiculous that the early morning hour made the place seem... peaceful. Comps. A Flicker in The Dark by Stacy Willingham: past repeats itself, small town, investigation. The Midnight Library by Matt Haig: Depressed MC, Magical Realism, Healing and new beginnings. Anxious people by Fredrik Backman: dysfunctional group of friends, social isolation, hope Tropes: found family, unreliable narrator, treasure hunt/investigation, lost memories, small town. Themes: second coming-of-age, feminism, identity, overcoming trauma, friendship
