Hi Sona! Is this something you are still seeking authors for? If it's ongoing I'd love to be included 💟📚

I'd consider a comp not as big as SFGE, and ideally something more recent within the last 1-3 years. If one comes to mind Ill let you know 💙

It just came to me 🤣 Just remove that phrase entirely!!!
"Atka didn't believe in ghosts... until one possessed him.
Now stuck in a school for ghost hunters, he'll have to avoid students mistaking him for prey—and maybe make a deal with a devil to reclaim his body before it's too late."

I like black nerd personally 🖤 As someone who never knows any of the lingo these days for anything, any new word is a learning curve that I'd rather spend marveling at how much I want to read this book!!! 😍

Wonderful message 💗 I like IC as a comp because it has the animal/mythical being conservation aspect

Darn those character limits! *shakes fist at sky*

Gosh how fun 😍 In that case I might add a word or phrase to make that clear (unexpectedly, or 'the kids are shocked when' etc)

Gotcha!! Without having read the book, my first thought is I wonder if Samantha can be aged down a couple years. Either way though since Terrence is also a main character (and is in the age range for MG) I'd still likely center the pitch around him

Love this! But if the aunt is using the insects as spell ingredients, wouldn't he be sad since he loves bugs so much?

Rigged their partnership, like to be paired together? Or rigged so they win? It might be flattering if Xavier wanted to be partners so bad, although the dishonesty is for sure grounds to question the friendship, but I wonder if there are other stakes I am not getting-- what happens if she drops out?

Such a needed story right now! I love this 😍

Is Samantha or Terrance the MC here? If Samantha I'm not sure this is mg. If Terrance, consider prioritizing him in the pitch over her. Also not sure the Sight is necessary for the pitch, maybe just say 'Beholders, rangers who protect the magical unseen..." shortens it a bit too 🤔

This is hilarious. I love this pitch as much as the other one (maybe more?) Only thing I'd change here is remove (upon failure, see 2-4) it's confusing at first read, makes sense after reading the rest of the list, but I just don't think it adds anything 🤔
If there's extra space, maybe some comps?

Very fun. Love this one! Question-- is this set in our world, and they had no idea this battle was going on or that they'd be possessed by the monsters? Or did they know this was coming and were looking forward to it?
