THE BASS ROCK x THE UNCONSOLED X ALL THE LOVERS IN THE NIGHT

Burned-out jazz pianist Clementine falls for a brilliant artist at a seaside inn—then those he paints begin to vanish.

🎹Art‑as‑magic
🌫️ Gothic melancholy
🩶 Envy‑to‑attraction slow burn
❔Psych suspense

#agentguide #questpit #A #LF #Q
An agent's guide to the inn at the edge of the sea - 64k upmarket with magical realism The pitch: Burned‑out jazz pianist Clementine retreats to a seaside inn where a gifted painter rekindles her inspiration. But when the subjects of his portraits begin disappearing, she must learn whether the artist is to blame—or she could be next. For fans of:  The quiet loneliness and romance of Mieko Kawakami’s ALL THE LOVERS IN THE NIGHT The brooding, gothic atmosphere of Evie Wyld’s THE BASS ROCK The dreamy surrealism of Kazuo Ishiguro’s THE UNCONSOLED Tropes/Themes: Psychological Suspense Speculative elements Romance Subplot with Yearning Magical paintings Manipulation Artistic creation and self-destruction The Indomitable Human Spirit Music Moody and melancholic Opening lines: The winter tide exhaled a slow melody against the sand. Clementine let its crested waves spill over her feet, foam gathering in deep snow drifts around her ankles. There was a ghostly feel to the long stretch of water that lay before her, the distant horizon blending into a misty gray sky. As the tide pulled back, she was overtaken by the fleeting sensation of falling, as if the water might pull her with it. It had a good rhythm to it. A steady rhythm. Time dripped slowly. With a distant sort of detachment, she noted that her toes were blue. Water breathed, and Clementine drew a breath, shallow and cold. The taste of wood and salt lay in a heavy coat atop her tongue. She’d come here for quiet, yet the ocean thrashed and quaked in the cavity of her chest, filling its emptiness with a transparent and insurmountable longing. It was a Thursday, and Thursdays were the worst night of the week. The night you got if you played well enough to fill the slot, but not popular enough for the weekend rush. Clementine had only ever been scheduled for Thursdays.

Hello all, setting down the #agentsguide of my YA Historical Novel (with a Speculative twist!) for consideration by #litagents and #editors!

why do you need an angel?
according to the codex his teacher wrote, that’s the most important question to ask when summoning them. simon knows his answer: there’s someone he worships—the teacher he built a cult around—and he won’t stop until he has him.

red and black-themed moodboard. around the top border and right border: someone falling through red-tinged clouds; someone in white embracing a dark shadow with a halo behind them; someone standing at the top of some stairs, surrounded by giant red bulging eyes; a faded black and white photo style picture of a dark smudge shadow and the shape of someone hooking their head over the shadow’s shoulder, crying dark tears; red-toned painting of an angel with three eyes. The left space is occupied by a text image, gothic white on red, that reads ‘the problem with angels is sometimes they talk back’ over and over again. on top of that picture, picture of a painting of an eye with a large gold star growing in it.

An Agent’s Guide to The Land of Undying Summer By Ivy T. Woods Adult romantic fantasy 99,000 words On a background of a map is a potted plant and a pestle On the left is a piece of paper containing a picture of mountains and a river. Pitch After a wandering mage’s equipment is stolen he is strong armed into helping a disillusioned death priestess identify why no more mages are being born and how to fix it. As the two grow reluctantly closer, they find that the enemy is not always where it seems. With roots in animistic religion and a setting inspired by the Canadian sub-arctic, THE LAND OF UNDYING SUMMER is a stand-alone with series potential.

The snow that clung to the mountain glittered in the bright afternoon sun. “Shit.” She snatched her cloak from an icy stalagmite and darted into a slim crack in the cliff face. The frozen stone was still jagged from when the cliff had split and the edges tugged at her shirt as she sidled through, cloak still clutched in one hand. Time warped within the cavern, stretching and compressing at random. Sometimes she would emerge to find that only a few minutes had passed outside. Today, the few hours she had spent being lectured by the spirits of the Ancients had become nearly an entire night and day in the land of the living. The dead delighted in wasting her time, especially when she had actual duties to perform. Allak would be insufferable if she was late.

DARK WATER DAUGHTER X ONCE UPON A BROKEN HEART

The first slide of an Agent's Guide for the novel A SIREN'S CALL. It has a sapphire blue background with bubbles, bordered once in black, then once in a very pale blue. In the centre there is a circle with around a quarter of sea at the bottom and the rest the sky. There are two blue seagrass, one on either side of the circle. Curved around the top of the circle it says the author's names, "Danielle Bradbury" and "Ashlea Screaton", and mirrored at the bottom it gives the name and genre as "New adult slowburn romantic fantasy". The title "THE SIREN'S CALL" is in the centre of the circle but sticks out either end, the letters on the blue are coloured pale blue and the ones over the circle are coloured black. Beneath the title in smaller letters is the word count, "90k words". The second slide of an Agent's Guide for the novel A SIREN'S CALL. It has a sapphire blue background with bubbles, bordered once in black, then once in a very pale blue. At the top there is a black title, split off with a little blue shore bordered with white, reading "Pitch". The rest of the slide reads in white "Courting a Lord could've been Delphine's escape from her violent employer, but when her best friend is sent with pirates after a mythical map, she refuses to be left behind. A budding romance with the Captain reveals he is tailed by a dark past which could sabotage the mission, but the pirates have claimed her friend as collateral. She must do anything to get the map-even using the Captain's secret against him-or lose her friend." The third slide of the Guide. It has a sapphire blue background with bubbles, bordered once in black, then once in a very pale blue. At the top there is a black title, split off with a little blue shore bordered with white, reading "Comps". Below, there are five images of book covers split evenly, alternating between being on the bottom of the page, or the top of the page. The space above/below the book has some pale blue text, and each book is split from the others with a little decorative line. From left to right: The Stardust Thief by Chelsea Abdullah - Journey for a mythical artefact Dark Water Daughter by H.M. Long - Loyalty & slowburn romance Daughter of the Pirate King by Tricia Levenseller - Power dynamics & trauma Once Upon A Broken Heart by Stephanie Garber - Cocky but hopelessly romantic LI The Ever King by L.J. Andrews - Complex romance & identity The fourth slide for the novel A SIREN'S CALL. It has a sapphire blue background with bubbles, bordered once in black, then once in a very pale blue. At the top there is a black title, split off with a little blue shore bordered with white, reading "Excerpt". The rest of the slide reads in white "Few things gave Delphine the same rush as finishing a book on stolen time. The end of this faerytale had been evading her for days, interrupted repeatedly by chiming bells, banal instructions, or nipping in her ear to ‘get a move on!’. Each time accompanied by a lamenting sigh, the book’s scarred spine deforming further as she wedged it open with whatever she could find. Pots and pans weren’t preferable, but were the usual suspects. It didn’t matter that she could recite the tale cover to cover with her eyes closed. She longed for the rhythm of the words to lull her into another land, another time, another life. An adventure, or a change in scenery from cold stone and colder steel. Far away from chamber pots, snooty sneers and vile tempers."

Damla wants the perfect, personal portfolio to finally enroll in the art college of her dreams. But in order to draw her mother, she must retrieve her from the pond she loves to swim in - and bring all her secrets out into the light...

#questpit #W #A #F #S
Nymph's Pond - an adult fantasy novel currently in progress The pitch: when her mother disappears into the town's local pond, Damla sets out to retrieve her - only to realize that her mother has no intention to leave it and keeps secrets that could change their relationship forever. The town's grudge against Damla and her mother might not be entirely unjustified... but potentially lethal all the same. Comps: small-town magic à la THE BOOK OF LOVE (Kelly Link) complicated sapphic relationships à la BLACK WATER SISTER (Zen Cho) magical realist künstlerroman à la THIRTY NAMES OF NIGHT (Zeyn Joukhadar) Themes & elements: - small town vibes - a distant mansion and an ostracized family - the struggles of a young artist - female-centric cast - complicated mother-daughter relationships - inspired by the paintings of John William Waterhouse Snippet: “Your art should strive for something universal. Nobody will care about your mother. Only of your skill.” Right in front of Damla were beautiful images waiting to be turned to paintings in her mind's eye. The silver of the pond. Her mother, clearer than ever, and yes, more home than ever, too. Wet and looking calm, no unnecessary skin on her, thin but not skeletal, gaunt but not haunted. Blond hair almost golden from the water. Hazel eyes glimmering like polished wood. This was an image that Waterhouse would not have messed up. He’d have thought of it, and here it was, right in front of Damla, her own, personal *Undine*. But in her head, the image turned out ugly just by having Damla’s name on it. She thought of the arm that she had drawn earlier that day, the mangled arm that had mangled everything else about the artwork, and she knew that her mother was right. She had no skill. She didn’t know what she wanted besides wanting *out*. She couldn’t get into college. She was stuck with her mother, an artist without an artwork. All she did was paint Damla’s world black from the comfort of her big bathtub. “And who cares about *yours*?” Damla asked. Her mother’s eyes widened ever so slightly, round and fish-like. It was the first time Damla had ever seen her mother in an emotion outside of cool annoyance.

HOW TO COME HOME
🛤️ PEAKY BLINDERS x CAT SEBASTIAN
🛤️ A newly freed convict takes a job working for a single father at his small-town general store, only to find that his criminal past and estranged family aren’t so easily left behind bars.
#questpit #Q (in June) #A #HF #R
Cover card for How to Come Home, an upmarket queer historical romance complete at 107k words. Background of a cornfield at dusk with a full moon visible, with gold corner decorations in the top left and bottom right corners. A painting of Nathan and Lawrence at the center: Lawrence, sitting to the left, is a white blond man playing piano and smiling, with glasses hanging from his neck. Nathan, right, is a dark-haired white man watching him play. (Art by nikespera) PITCH Ten years ago, Nathan Gilliard turned informant on his family’s Prohibition criminal empire, damning his brothers to prison in exchange for a lesser sentence of his own. Now a free man, all he wants is a quiet, solitary life, never forgetting what he did to his family—or why. Taking a job in a small-town general store is the perfect stopgap to get back on his feet after a decade behind bars. But his new boss, single father Lawrence Freburg, is everything Nathan’s upbringing and time in prison weren’t—open, earnest, and kindhearted. As they live and work side by side, business compatibility turns to companionship and then an intimacy neither man expected—a bond that makes Nathan question his pursuit of a solitary life over one lived in partnership. But Nathan’s past isn’t that easy to abandon, and when his old life and older secrets return with a vengeance, they threaten to destroy everything he and Lawrence have begun to build. Forced to face the wreckage of his former life, Nathan and Lawrence must confront the consequences of holding their pasts too present if they have any hope of building a future together. COMPS: Peaky Blinders: - Crime family, criminal brothers, - The costs of winning vs. the costs of losing - The (in)justice of vengeance We Could Be So Good: - Queerness & homemaking - 20th-century American life - Coworkers/roommates-to-lovers + Sounds like… - Laurel Hell by Mitski - Babel by Mumford & Sons - Hozier by Hozier SNIPPET He removes his glasses, careful not to strain the chain as he holds them in one hand and polishes the lenses with his tan shirt. The tension at the corners of his eyes relaxes as he cleans, and Nathan watches the simple calm on his face. Seeing Lawrence without his glasses is as rare as a lightning strike, and just as stunning. It must be unsettling, frightening, to give up that boon to his vision, but Nathan relishes these moments he can selfishly fancy himself a confidant of Lawrence’s utmost trust. Not just through the physical ease on his face—the implicit trust, the fact he’s comfortable enough to be in such a state with Nathan. Or perhaps he just needs to clear a smudge.

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.
