ME: "I want to give up on querying! No agents want my WIP."

IROH: "No, writer-san! In the darkest times of the query trenches, hope is something you give yourself."

JUMANJI x PRIORY OF THE 🍊 TREE

Mage is trapped in a strange, fantastical dungeon disconnected from everything she knows about reality, unless she can win the game, alongside 9 other captive young women.

Oh, and she has wings and new powers, too.

SWEET TOOTH x TENDER IS THE FLESH

A young half-human, half-bull will do anything to cross the border w/o being eaten

A lonely divorcée tries to find love again with a half-cat who hates being owned

A half-lion & a half-tiger escape a vile circus in search of a land w/o chains

Moodboard with four images. Top left is a clenched, dark-skinned, masculine hand with chains in grasp. Top right is a dark-skinned person with big, curly hair. Their arms are held up and spread out, and they look like they're slightly falling artistically. The image is tinted red with a grim tone. Bottom left is a person with a shoulder length haircut. They are in the ocean staring at the sun along the horizon with their arms raised and hands together. Deer antlers are on their head. Bottom right is a goat set against a black backdrop. It looks grim as well.

An image of the list with heart emojis, an anime winky face, and a stenciled kiss emoji. There's also the added text: Today I felt like ranking common tropes found in romance books and romance subplots! I think all of these tropes can be done well, but the lower on the list, the harder it is for me to find ones I personally like

Epic fantasy 👸🏾 Breath-taking romance 😳

Everyone deserves to be a protagonist—to be the subject of love, magic, and wonder—including Black women and girls

My MC is a Haitian American girl who eats fried plantains, loves her family, and falls in love in a fantasy world #amwriting #blackbooksky #sff
A Black woman in fantasy attire with a medieval sword. She has a black dress and black gloves, and her braids are tied into a high ponytail that trails down her back. Her eyes are closed and her head is bowed towards her sword as if in deep thought.

With the rise of "strong," kickbutt, don't-need-a-man FMCs, I feel left behind

Maybe it's my chronic pain condition, or b/c I've dreamed of love ever since I was a little girl. But I've been hungry for weak, scared FMCs who can't throw a punch, but fight anyway to find their HEA #booksky #romantasy
A collage with the covers of ACOTAR, Fourth Wing, From Blood and Ash, and Powerless in the background. The foreground reads, "For the readers who aren't 'STRONG GIRLS.' Who can't throw a PUNCH to save their life. Who dream of LOVE."
