#questpit #Q #A #RF #agentsguide
Agents guide for Lady Han's Manual for Matrimonial Mayhem, 91K adult fantasy romcom, revised through SmoochPit 2025 mentorship Pitch - She planned to be the terror in his life. He planned to ignore her. Neither planned on saving a crumbling empire from a tyrant—or falling in love. Twenty-year-old Wen Anling would sooner commit murder than give up her home and freedom. But with no way out of her arranged marriage to Han Shiyan, the wealthy Lord of Qinglan, she devises a plan: let him be the one to beg for divorce… once she transforms herself into the nastiest wife possible. Shiyan only married Anling to honour his mother’s dying wish. Had he known his new wife would send his simple life straight to mayhem, he would have thrown honour out the nearest window. He struggles to see any good beneath Anling’s heavily powdered face, overly red lips, and shrill screams, but when she continues to get under his skin, he cannot help but grow intrigued—especially after catching his first glimpses of the real Anling beneath her prickly exterior. While Anling wrestles with her desire to escape the prison of marriage and he Comps The Darkness Within Us - cunning, unlikeble heroine, enemies-to-lovers, drives him up the wall but he can't help falling A Song to Drown Rivers - Chiense history-inspired setting, political intrigue & schemes How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days - romantic comedy, slow burn, lots of banter Extract & Tropes - Multicultural w/ POC leads - Marriage of convenience - Enemies to power couple - Slow burn w/ a dose of spice The not so meet cute... Shiyan’s eyes widened for a heartbeat before he forced composure back onto his features. Her face was powdered with a thick layer of white, as if she had simply dunked it into a bowl of flour. Her bright red lip-paint smudged at the edges and… Heavens forbid women dab their cheeks with uneven blobs of pink. Even the most senile and stern of his guests held their hands to their stomachs, straining to hold back fits of laughter. He would have gladly joined them, too, if he wasn’t the one with the honour of marrying this… this… buffoon. He swallowed and recited the wise sayings of his forefathers: one should not judge a book by its cover; a woman’s beauty runs deeper than appearances; virtues are lasting while beauty is fleeting. Oh, to hell with wise sayings. An eyesore was an eyesore no matter how virtuous it might be.

Hi! I’m Ben, author of Kinda Charming!

Most fairytales have a prince. This one got Neil. (And he doesn't know what he's doing.)

For fans of Percy Jackson & Land of Stories this book has:
🗡 Awkward heroes
🏰 Twisted tropes
😂 Laugh-out-loud mishaps

#Q #amquerying #MG #Fantasy
A whimsical fairytale castle framed in ornate yellow scrollwork. Bold text reads “Kinda Charming.” Beneath it: “Most fairytales have a prince. This one got Neil.” A magical castle background with golden scrollwork frames the description: “Kinda Charming – An upper middle grade fantasy-adventure for fans of Percy Jackson and The Land of Stories, blending fairytale tropes, awkward heroes, and laugh-out-loud mishaps in a magical kingdom where being kind-of-charming might be enough to save the day.” A gingerbread house icon tops three humorous fairytale quotes in front of a forested castle: “Never trust a house you can snack on.” “Seems safe. Completely normal.” “That’s fairytale logic.” Below, it reads: “Welcome to Kinda Charming – where princesses have better options, villains get surprise audits, and sometimes the chandelier is mightier than the sword.” Text set over a fairytale forest and castle reads: “Kinda Charming Comps.” Below it is a list of similar middle grade fantasy books: Never After by Melissa de la Cruz Once Upon Another Time and The Revenge of Magic by James Riley The Accidental Apprentice by Amanda Foody Amari and the Night Brothers by B.B. Alston A Tale of Magic... by Chris Colfer

With the tagline: DEATH IS COMING. THE PITCH: When grief-stricken Simone summoned her murdered cousin, the girl who emerged from the shadowy depths wasn't Nina anymore. They call her by another name—The East River Wraith. She’s a malevolent spirit who drowns deserving boys. Simone should help her find peace, but the truth is, she’d rather let Nina be a vengeful ghost than ever lose her again. Except, now The Wraith is taking her rage out on the wrong boy. The one boy Simone has always trusted. Simone is risking her first love’s life & her cousin’s afterlife by holding on to them both. But she can’t let go again. The First Page of my book: The Drowning Girl started haunting my dreams again when my cousin went missing. She was waiting for me every time I shut my eyes in the harrowing weeks before Nina was found and dragged from the river. If I’d known I was foreseeing my cousin’s death most of my life, maybe I could’ve changed it. All I could do was try to help her in the afterlife. Gran always said when one dies a traumatic death their spirit can get stuck in a loop, reliving that violence over and over. I couldn’t let her exist that way. So, I called upon her, with a simple altar placed alongside the memorials for the others who were pulled out of the East River that frigid fall. Striking the long wooden match, I shielded the flame from the wind with my wounded palm, determined to light the final candle. The first for the grieved. The second for protection. The third for invoking that which shouldn’t be spoken. One should never summon the dead. They can always find you. Follow you. Attach themselves to you. I knew better, but I didn’t want my cousin to be trapped. I really just needed to see Nina again. But it wasn’t her who came.

Movie poster-style graphic for novel called ‘ALL YOUR QASAMS’ with author’s name Neha Yazmin underneath the bold title. Image is a close-up of a young south Asian girl in south Asian bridal wear and jewellery, smiling down at her maroon outfit. Along the top of the poster are the names of two comparison book titles ‘NEVER HAVE I EVER’ and “THE BEST LAID PLANS”. In the left corner of the poster, are three 5-star movie review-style texts pertaining to different aspects of the book. 1: “South Asian Main Cast. 2: “Friends to lovers with a difference” 3: “Bengali teens in STEM”. Moodboard for ALL YOUR QASAMS with a quote from the novel reading, ‘You are madness incarnate’ and five images: picture of a hot chocolate drink and heart-shaped cookies, a couple embracing during a boat ride, a young south Asian girl in south Asian bridal wear and jewellery smiling down at her maroon outfit, a close-up of a young man kissing the forehead of a young woman, a close-up the joined hands of a south Asian bride and groom, a young man in an aesthetic library reading a hardcover text book. The moodboard has the premise of the story written above it, which reads: “17-year-old Kavi thinks this year is her last chance to meet a boy and fall in love—due to a certain Qasam—and is out to find a boyfriend. Enter Aaron Mirza. He’s perfect, smitten. So, she must be perfect too. Her childhood best friend Ryhan will show her the ropes and become her Practice Boyfriend, right? But Ryhan has a secret, which could ruin everything. And if Kavi’s strict grandfather learns about her boyfriends, the real one or the fake, he’ll crush her dreams of moving to Scotland for her Medicine Degree.”
