"It’s damp outside and the magnolia tree slouches over me like a bad nap."

For Riley, staring at a blank canvas is worse than having no friends. It means she can't finish this stupid tech contract she never asked for.

Then she finds out her mom has cancer. And risks her future to take a train ride home across central Appalachia.

A poster with a picture of faded flowers in the middle. On top, the title says, "Bright and Full of Dust" with an image of a girl's face next to it. On the bottom a paragraph of text says, "It’s damp outside and the magnolia tree slouches over me like a bad nap. The easel I hauled to the lawn sinks into the mud under my feet." Four bullet points to the left of that say, "Near Future Spec," "Dystopia," "Multi POV," and "Sapphic Rep."

Just joined. Doing a late #PosterPit to find other writers! #WIP

After Lennon’s mother leaves, the animals around town mysteriously disappear. When Lennon discovers she can bring inanimate objects to life, she secretly returns her neighbor's pets. Until the animals she's created start dying off.
A poster that shows a single deer in a field of flowers. The top text says, "A speculative novel." There are three lines of text underneath it that say, "Young Adult," "Midwest Setting," and "Coming of Age." Under that is text that says, "Mother is gone." The title is on the lower half and says, "The Animals Don't Come Here Anymore." There is a block of text below that says, "On the day my mother disappeared for the third time, a herd of deer marched straight through the yard, into the woods, and out of sight forever." Finally, text below that says, "A novel by C.D. Neely"
