A casual game of EFF MARRY KILL takes a dark turn, when high school senior Prudence and her friends find their picks eerily transformed, showing up with roses, pickup lines, or weapons. To survive, she must become the player she never wanted to be or they’ll all be taken off the board. #DVpit #YA #H

CABIN IN THE WOODS×JOHN DIES AT THE END×KNIVES OUT

When their detective friend is murdered during their annual gaming retreat, 5 dads must rely on years of #TTRPG experience—and puns—to solve the crime before they're all killed off like NPCs in a badly-written campaign. 🎲🥓

#WIPPIT #A #H #MM
The image shows a horror-comedy novel cover titled "DAD BODIES." The top of the cover reads "THE GAME JUST TOOK A DAD TURN" with "DAD" in a different color. The background features a haunted house with multiple towers and illuminated windows against a dark backdrop. At the center is a 20-sided die (D20) used in tabletop role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons, with visible numbers including 1, 7, 13, and 19. The die is surrounded by red blood splatter effects. At the bottom of the cover are six men with expressions of terror and shock. One man is wearing a white shirt over his head. These men are the dads referenced in the title. #writingcommunity #writesky #a #spec #wippit #questpit #bluepit #dvpit

SORRY TO BOTHER YOU × THE GOOD PLACE

Wren Vern is a rising star at Happy Death Inc., selling blissful exits to the wealthy—until one client won’t die and another coworker wants to. A sharp, witty satire about capitalism, mortality, and the true cost of a life well lived.

#WIPPIT #A #SPEC
a close-up photo of a man lying in what appears to be a casket. He’s dressed in a formal black suit with a white shirt and black tie, and he has a fixed, unsettling smile painted on his face—evoking both artificial joy and eerie stillness. The man’s face is pale, suggesting death, but the smile is jarringly wide, almost theatrical. The title HAPPY DEATH INC. is split into three bold lines, placed over the man’s face and upper chest in a playful, handwritten-style font that contrasts sharply with the dark theme. Above the title, a tagline reads: "How much would you pay to die with a smile?" At the bottom of the cover, in smaller text: "A Novel by B VAN BODEGOM" #writingcommunity #writesky #a #spec #wippit #questpit #bluepit #dvpit

Tolstoy tragedy meets Steinbeck America when a Soviet Cosmonaut crash-lands in the heart of Cold War America
#posterpit #posterpitos #A #HF #T
A “movie poster” for Kirk Rafferty’s manuscript, The Cosmonaut and the Fisherman, currently on submission. Red background with the outline of a woman’s face. A stylized target is focused on her right eye. American and Soviet flags are superimposed over both her eyes. The title is in bold, white letters. Three laurels at the top: “All the found family tropes,” “Bad-Ass girl with shotgun and other weaponry,” and “Of course there’s a tragic love story we’re not amateurs here.” An actual author blurb: “‘Richly imaginitive and dramatically gripping’,” - Dirk Cussler, author of The Corsican Shadow.” A satirical “Streaming soon on Nyetflix” logo, stylized to look like the Netflix logo. At the bottom, in both English and Russian, “The Mission is Everything.” kirk.rafferty.com.

The top of the poster reads "Complete at 98,000 words," a quote from the novel that says, "The Sultanate doesn't care for their women- and that is one of the greatest strengths we have," and "in the query trenches." Further down, in the top centre we have the title of the story "Garden of Gods," followed by "A novel by AK." The bottom centre of the poster reads, "epic romantasy," "diverse cast," "slowburn romance," and "turkish forklore." Beneath that there is the comp titles including "The Hurricane Wars and The Bone Shard Daughter."

An introduction to my Hawaiian-inspired, young adult fantasy.

“Maia must unravel a lifetime worth of secrets to understand the dangers that lurk around the corner—and she must do so before it’s too late.”

#PosterPit #PosterPitW #YA #F #OwnVoices
A movie poster that displays the image of a sailboat beneath the reflection of the night sky. This is to showcase my novel “Whispers of the Sea.” Across the top can be found a list of what to expect in the novel. The list includes: epic adventure, forced proximity, earth magic, and Hawaiian influences. At the bottom of the poster is a summary that reads: “Jasad Heir meets the Starless Sea in this young adult fantasy following a teen girl who embarks on a journey to uncover the whereabouts of her missing uncle. Maia must unravel a lifetime worth of secrets to understand the dangers that lurk around every corner—and she must do so before it’s too late.”
