title: THE VILLAIN'S MUSE.

KING OF SLOTH x GOD OF FURY x PERFECT ADDICTION

She's healing a heart wrapped in silk carrying scars like armour.
He's a broken monster with blood on his hands and a hunger for chaos.
the (new) dedication of the book that will HOPEFULLY stay as it is unless it goes through another change <3 the book features my bangladeshi fmc, mahira and my puerto rican mmc, valentino !! the tropes of the book, not including the various microtropes throughout !! the comps of the book, though the third comp is a movie comp and has a book by the original author itself—i prefer the movie more over the book of the same name, hence i'm comping the movie adaptation instead of the original book <33

GOD OF FURY x KING OF SLOTH x PERFECT ADDICTION

She hid behind snarky comments and heartbreak.
He hid behind obsessive fixation and bloody hands.

And are his demons catching up to him?
Only one way to find out.

What can you expect this season of LAST CHANCE MATCH?

🩸 gut wrenching plot twists
🩸 cute robots that help style hair, makeup and clothes
🩸 she hates him, he loves her and there’s only one bed
🩸 man creates bot, bot kills man, bot inherits the earth

#writingcommunity #agentsguide
Dark ferns background An Agent's Guide To: LAST CHANCE MATCH 91,000 word Adult crossover dystomance "Find the one who's to die for." The Pitch: Calasca’s government uses science to appoint soulmates, but the 0.6% of the population who don’t receive a match face extermination at thirty. A new reality show, Last Chance Match, sets out to change that and gives the matchless another shot at life. Bitter waitress, Cera accepts the invitation, but is quickly deflated when she’s paired with the cocky and entitled Ryde. The show takes a dark turn when a fellow contestant is killed after being eliminated, forcing Cera and Ryde to fight for their happily ever after—and to make it out alive. The comps: THE KILL FACTOR by Ben Oliver Both with a killer reality show setting to win freedom SILVER ELITE by Dani Francis Both with opposing factions and biased government HEART OF THE SUN Both with second chances and dislike to lovers arc LOVE ISLAND Love Island inspired setting SQUID GAME Games created for a killer time BLACK MIRROR Dystopian setting with robot twists The Tropes: Arrows pointing from a mock cover of LAST CHANCE MATCH book with ferns with the following tropes: Dystomance He falls first Soulhates to Soulmates Forced proximity Second chances Only one bed

New #agentsguide for the novel I #amquerying.

If you loved "Every Summer After" then this is for you!

🗻 lake house setting in summer and winter
🥂 soapy family drama
💔 healing or reopening old wounds?
📸 yearning for nostalgia
an agent’s guide to None of This Was Real adult contemporary romance/ women’s fiction 87,000 words The pitch Jasper and her ex reunite at the lake 10 years after a painful breakup. When feelings become too hard to ignore, Jasper must decide if she'll heal her old wounds or reopen them and risk ruining not only their repaired friendship, but her sister's wedding too. Maybe they were just yearning for nostalgia this whole time. Comps happy place: What if your happy place stopped being happy? every summer after: Two timelines, lake house setting adelaide: A story that will break your heart and sew it up again His presence made me feel like I was seventeen again and happily suffocating in my family’s lake house. Back then, I was enamored by the smell of pine trees, lake water, and cigarettes in a dive bar parking lot. Summers were like a warm pitcher of beer, a crisp can of Pepsi, and tobacco-tainted kisses. Now I was twenty-eight, killing time waiting for the delayed 1 train after telling the lawyer we shouldn’t see each other anymore and it was frigid outside. Excerpt

#agentsguide to A HARMONY OF WITCHES, querying now!

#writingcommunity #writesky #amquerying
“Is that so?” she asks, turning her head to face mine again. There’s something unreadable on her face, and that scares me. Melody is an open-book. She’s sitting here in a Sailor Moon cosplay for Magratham’s sake. She’s not one to hide or conceal. It’s why this whole situation is tailor-made to torture me. It’s impossible for someone not to know what’s going on with Melody Sharpe. She’s the absolute worst person to have on a stealth mission. Yet, as I’m gazing into those emerald eyes, I find myself flooded with pure confusion. ‘Is that so?’ What a strange response.  My room is what some would call ‘completely functional,’ and not at all notable save for the fungi growing in the corner underneath the bed. The walls, like the cabinets around the house, are a lovely deep green, but that’s about all the personality one can find. I would like to say it’s because I just moved in, but I know that’s not true. My room at my parents’ house was just as spartan, serving as a place to hole up and cry. Though not a very cozy one. The sheets on my full-sized bed are cream, and the heated blanket I sleep under matches the walls. In the center of the room are seven lilac suitcases in various sizes. Belinda Vivra stands in an elegant green peacoat, dusts of snowflakes lining her shoulders. There’s an abnormal gleam to her gray eyes that promises a storm of trouble. Slipping off her shoes, she rolls her eyes, pushing past me to walk through the kitchen. “A mother has every right to visit her s–daughter whenever she so pleases,” she says, gliding over the slip of the tongue like it was a simple lane change on the highway. So I’ve heard. I don’t drive, and my mother certainly does not drive. comps: wicked romeo and juliet, little shop of horrors. Comps: how to date a superhero. undertaking of hart and mercy, throne of the dark tropes ride or die siblings emotional regulation autism representation mother-daughter bonds sapphic childhood friends to lovers second chance only one bed forced proximity trans coming-of-age family secrets supportive family anger management witch who’s bad at magic comedic relief Zenora Vivra loves her identity as a transfemme garden witch. Plants are her special interest. There’s only one problem--her brown thumb. Every plant she touches dies. Now that she’s eighteen, her mother has given her two options: “Get into Witch University or get a job in the human world.” Zenora doesn’t want to be the first Vivra in history to have to work outside Salem. So, she enters the Caretaking, an annual event where garden witches compete to win temporary custody of the Allflower, the magic-needy source of garden magic. When a pretty music witch named Melody sings Zenora’s violet into a winning entry, she’s confused. When Zenora learns that Melody is from her rival coven, she’s furious. She confronts Melody, demanding that she explain herself. Despite her anger, Zenora is quickly charmed by Melody and agrees to work together in secret to take care of the Allflower and improve Zenora’s magic. As the two girls butt heads thanks to their opposing personalities, Zenora is convinced she made a terrible mistake. This feeling festers inside of her like an infected wound. Zenora needs to figure out how to keep their secret while working to untangle the mess inside her mind. Which one explodes first could change everything.

a movie poster for my novel ALL THE DEVILS. the main image on the poster is of a man with his face obscured showing only his eyes. this image is in black and white. over the image is some text. in the left hand corner is a snippet stating the following “there would be no them from the tomorrow that had already begun. the devils were done. the dream destroyed.” on the right of the image is some information about the novel as follows: daisy jones meets knives out, a literary mystery, crossover potential. underneath the image is more text. first we have the tagline “the song of death never sounded so sweet”. next is the novel’s tile “all the devils”. “a novel by char young” follows this and then underneath is the novel’s pitch as stated above in the post. finally at the bottom are the words “coming soon to the query trenches” and “strand studios”
