an image of a power point that says Ghost Story in the middle in magazine cut out letters. It's surronded by ripped pages and random tarot cards then says: "Needs Readers! And Cheerleaders (maybe)?" A screenshot of a messy powerpoint that looks almost like a "murder board" featuring the images and words from left to right. There is a strip of photos featuring a person with a bat; a girl with long blond hair in the shadows; a girl on a seat, her face is unseen; a girl waiting for a bus in red light; a girl hanging out in an abandoned pool. A litlte paper note beside this says "Where'd you go Lana Dragan?" This is cricled with arrows pointing at the previous photo and another of a person in a yellow rain coat. Over them a piece of tape says Name?" A paper pointing at this image says "THE Man in Yellow? from Lana tapes??" Above this is a missing sign with the face ripped off. Next to it is a paper that says "What kind of mosnter was Lana hunting last?" It points down to a paper taped there that says: "Quick Facts: Looking for a Beta Reader for only Act 1/Part 1 Aprox. Word Count: 28,272 Genre: Fantasy, Horror, Mystery (if you squint) Age: Young Adult" Then to the right it points to a paper taped there that says: "Pitch: Well, Denny sure messed up this time. He had one goal. One goal! And failed. Somehow, rather than finding his missing sister, he released a serial killer ghost with a penchant for drowning people. And if that wasn’t already a lot, the one person in town who can see ghosts would rather play the cello than save strangers. "

#questpit #Q #F #A #agentguide #agentsguide
An agent's guide to: when ink swallows the sun, a 108k-word adult imperial-asia epic fantasy by @lilywzy_ Illegitimate child Ning Liyue must navigate the palace to chase clues about her long-lost mother’s foreign origins. When her quest collides with a failing chosen one trying to revive his tribe’s tattoo magic, they must uncover ugly truths and survive a budding rebellion to achieve their goals—and choose their loyalties in a crumbling empire. The released moonlight casts an ethereal glow on the Empress, darkening the surrounding night. Liyue can’t tell who started it, but hundreds of guests crumble to the ground, pressing their foreheads to the ground in uneven worship. Ten thousand years to my Empress! Their chants rise and fall and rise again until no other sound exists in the world. Like a crane among chickens, Liyue alone remains standing, unable to remove her gaze from the Empress while others fix theirs to the floor. The star dims, liquid shadows seem to swish within it like ink as the Empress lowers the scepter. Her low-lidded gaze sweeps over her subjects and lingers on Liyue. It’s not out of curiosity toward Liyue’s unique appearance nor offense from her standing, but a disturbing satisfaction. Who is the Jinyu Empress? Should the heavens hear this thought and convey it to Her Majesty, Liyue’s head would roll on the ground. Bathed in the pallid moonlight that basks the feast in an inhuman coldness, she decid themes and elements: inspired by manchu, mongol, and than. God blood as ink for tattoo magic. creation vs destruction with a twist. Duty vs desire. kindness vs ambition. 4-pov. riches to rags. failing chosen one

A nine image moodboard of a deer skull, a boy with the face blurred out, a wolf's maw, a note saying "this is gay", a boy being beckoned into trees, a raven, hands digging into green undergrowth, two hands making a pinkie promise, and feet hanging off a ledge.

MOANA x SHADOW AND BONE

A refreshed introduction to WHISPERS OF THE SEA, a YA Fantasy that will embark soon on its query journey.

Featuring:
🌊 Native Hawaiian Rep
🌊 Cultural Identity
🌊 Setting as a Character

#QuestPit #YA #F #W #OwnVoices #AgentsGuide
A refreshed introduction to WHISPERS OF THE SEA, a YA Fantasy that will embark soon on its query journey. Featuring: Native Hawaiian Rep Cultural Identity Setting as a Character The second slide showcases the pitch: WHISPERS OF THE SEA follows the story of a teenage girl who embarks on a journey to rescue her uncle after he was mysteriously captured by a group of uniformed men sailing under the royal flags of a faraway kingdom. Keahi must voyage across the seas to this distant isle where she’ll team up with a boy to track her uncle’s whereabouts. But in order to understand the dangers that lurk ahead, she’ll be forced to uncover a lifetime worth of secrets—and she must do so before it’s too late. The third slide indicates that WHISPERS OF THE SEA might appeal to fans of: Disney’s Moana, Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo, and Curious Tides by Pascale Lacelle. The book includes the following tropes/themes: found family, self-discovery within cultural identity, Hawaiian-inspired mythology, and adventure. The final slide includes a snippet from the book that reads: “Keahi’s legs were immobilized as her body tried to make the decision her mind could not. The feeling was strange for she had dreamt countless of times about leaving the island, only to seize the opportunity and awaken to find that she had been sold a nightmare instead.”
