NAUSICAA x WILL OF THE MANY

After conjuring the ghost of bone magic's inventor, university student Aris attracts the attention of an undead professor who would kill to keep the secret of magic's origins buried.

The quote: “Aris waited until the groundskeeper turned around the bend of the carriage way to break the window.” Above a series of images: a forest canopy, a student by the river in a historical city, a shelf of oddities including animal skulls, someone in a dress shirt and vest, a forest, a large animal skull, people holding cups and cigarettes around a table, and a notebooks with sketches of a skeleton.

This is one of those stories I spontaneously came up with and just wrote. I submitted it, not really expecting it to be accepted because it’s such a weird story… but guess what? Every story has a home 🫠

I want to write. I want to build worlds that will intrigue readers. I want to create characters they will love, hate, love to hate, and everything in between. One day, I want to hold my books in my hands. I have so many stories, and I can’t wait for the world to read them all.

🛤️ HOW TO COME HOME🛤️

An ex-Prohibition fixer and a small-town general store owner must overcome holding their pasts too present in order to build a future together in 1930s America.

PEAKY BLINDERS x 4 WINDS x CAT SEBASTIAN

#questpit #Q #amquerying #agentsguide
Slide 1: Cover slide for HOW TO COME HOME. A picture of a cornfield at dusk overlaid by the title and two portraits, one of a man with curly dark hair and wearing a dark green sweater and one of a man with pale blond hair, glasses, and wearing a jacket, vest, and tie. A brown frame with gilded accents encloses the slide. Slide 2: PITCH & COMPS After a decade behind bars, former Prohibition crime boss Nathan Gilliard takes a job working for a kindhearted single father at his small-town general store—but Nathan’s old life and older secrets aren’t easily left behind bars, and both men must confront the consequences of holding their pasts too present if they have any hope of building a future together. Comps presented are WE COULD BE SO GOOD by Cat Sebastian, INLAND by Téa Obreht, PEAKY BLINDERS, THE FOUR WINDS by Kristin Hannah, THE COMPANION by EE Ottoman, and the albums Hozier by Hozier, Laurel Hell by Mitski, and Babel by Mumford & Sons Slide 3:TROPES & THEMES A digital painting of two men, one with dark curly hair and wearing a maroon sweater, one with blond hair and wearing a shirt with suspenders and glasses around his neck, both seated at a piano. The tropes & themes read: - Queerness without a “coming out” narrative - Unconventional family structure - Grief doesn’t end, but it changes - Romance’s sweeping love story + histfic’s sweeping plot - Disability =/= disabling - Chekhov’s $100,000 - Who you are is not what you’ve been - 30+-year-old-protagonists - Complicated siblings, positive and negative Slide 4: EXCERPT A hotel. Anonymous people. People whose faces he’ll never see, whose names he’ll never know. Whose lives could be anything and everything, passing through Aurora on their way to California or New York or Canada. On the train, that had been the most beautiful thing in the world to Nathan, the anonymity. Now the horror of it grounds him to the sidewalk. Ten years he spent unknowable and resilient and caged, because the pain of knowing a different life and losing it cut so deep he didn’t know if he’d survive another bout of loss. And even in Blankenship he’d risked knowing, risked caring, and lost again. No lessons learned. More pieces of him to gather up, and Nathan’s hands too small to carry all of them. He can look in this ordinary little hotel all he likes. He’s burned too much, built too little to aspire to an ordinary life. No, all that awaits Nathan Gilliard is blood money and cold vengeance.

An #EditorsGuide to TRUE HATE'S KISS

She must trick her enemy into kissing her to break a deadly curse on her family.

⚔️Age-old clan feud
🐉Scandinavian folklore
🧪Unique magic & world
❤️‍🔥Enemies-To-Forbidden-Lovers
🛡️"Who did this to you?" / "You did!

#QuestPit #OS #Romantasy
An image of Lagertha from the TV show Vikings to the right and one of Robin Hood from the Robin Hood movie (2010) to the left, divided in the middle by an image of “Freydis sword”, adorned with intricate patterns, from the game Skyrim. Title: True Hate’s Kiss. 110,000 words New Adult Romantasy Text: “To break her curse, she needs a kiss… from the man she swore to kill.” An image taken from the TV show Vikings of a hand holding a sword with Norse Runes etched into the blade. Text: When a man from the enemy clan murders Älva’s father, she swears revenge. But then her family is cursed to die. The only way to break the curse? A True Hate’s Kiss. The man she hates the most must kiss her of his own free will. But the more she learns about her enemy, the more she questions who the true villain really is—and forbidden desire threatens to ruin everything. An image of a man and woman kissing, silhouetted against the sunset. Text: Scandinavian Iron Age (almost Viking Age) Pretending to woo him while betraying him Feuding clans Enemies-to-forbidden-lovers Complicated family dynamics “Who did this to you?” / “You did!” Scandinavian folklore Nature spirits, magical swords, Norse witches Comp titles: A Fate Inked in Blood by Danielle L. Jensen, The Road of Bones by Demi Winters, Heartless Hunter by Kristen Ciccarelli, 10 Things I Hate About You (the movie) An image of a conifer forest. Text: Opening Nine years of fragile truce between our clans—and my boneheaded mistake could tear it all apart. “Lycki, stop!” My voice cracked, hoarse with panic. But my little brother’s green tunic and blond hair slipped through the conifer branches ahead, his distant voice floating back to me. “Come on, Älva! I found snowdrops!” Wonderful, we were about to start a war over flowers. Gut twisting, I burst into a sprint—past the overgrown sign nailed to a pine, ominous runes carved deep into the wood: ‘Hult Territory.’

⛸️Former Olympic medalist Chloé LaFleur isn’t looking at “Seasons on Ice” as a comeback after her injury. She isn’t looking for love, either, after being dumped. But sometimes when you’re not looking, you find exactly what you need. ⛸️

#questpit #q #r #a #lgbtq
Cover to agent’s guide to THE ICE BETWEEN US Pitch: Chloé LaFleur is one of the best women’s figure skaters in the world. Or she was, until a devastating injury ended her competitive career. Adrift without skating (and after being dumped by her girlfriend), Chloé signs on to do the one thing she swore she’d never do: show skating. Freja Lindholm is the show’s most experienced skater, but show life has grown tiring. She’s ready to hang up her skates when this newcomer arrives. Freja is forced to get the former Olympian up to speed in the show skating world, giving her new purpose. When fate throws the two together as roommates, they clash. But before long, the ice between them begins to melt, and it might just be that they’re both exactly who the other one needs. Comps & Tropes Comps: Unsteady | Book Lovers | Wake Up Nat & Darcy Tropes: ⛸️ Workplace romance ⛸️ Dislike-to-lovers ⛸️ Forced proximity ⛸️ She carries her ⛸️ Miscommunication ⛸️ Secret relationship ⛸️ Only One Bed ⛸️ Big gesture apology Excerpt: “And this must be the great Chloé LaFleur you're always raving about. I hear the Golden Girl is joining our cast next season." "Bronze," Chloé says, tersely. I shift my body in her direction and turn my gaze downward. She's shorter than I expected, but even I have to admit that she's quite beautiful, even in ill-fitting clothes with no makeup on. I can see why, even beyond her skating, they wanted her for our cast. "What's that?" "I won bronze in Beijing, not gold. And I'm proud of it." The humility is surprising. I expected her to have an ego, but immediately she's deflecting. Still, I'm not buying it.

#litagents, I’m currently querying two novels:

🫀 95k gothic horror (left pitch)
🌊 112k upmarket historical (right pitch)

If you love dark, twisty, genre-blending novels in the vein of Emilia Hart and Bridget Collins, let’s talk. 👀

#questpit #A #HF #Q
Pitch: When a lonely stained-glass artist is invited to a crumbling country estate to restore a set of windows depicting the haunting story of Tristram and Isolde, he must reassemble the fractured pieces of his memory before a malevolent creeper destroys his last chance at love. Pitch: When a storm wrecks his island's passenger steamer, sparing only a girl believed to be one of the monstrous Finfolk, a grieving musician must uncover who she really is before more of his people die.
