Now that pitch events are back, authors, it’s time to talk about the best way to prepare your pitch to sell your book.

When in doubt, the Pixar method never fails.

Side note: I would love to see this pitch as a manuscript in my queries, just saying.

So in my YA, NA, and Adult list, this is some of the vibes I am looking for. Escapism is the name of the game there. #MSWL

so for #MSWL I am really looking for more commercial, character driven, humorous picture book stories. These are a good sampling of what I am looking for on my list.

MSWL expansion for romantasy vs cozy fantasy. Hope it helps!

As requested, an expansion on my picture book #MSWL

Some mornings you just want to eat on the fancy plates while listening to the birds chattering

Working on finding projects with these vibes on my #MSWL
October 28, 2024 at 4:05 PM
Still thinking about the 2009 movie. If you have a spec fic romance that vibes with this, please send! #MSWL

#MSWL but I would love teens resistance: housing banned books in lockers/backpacks, making side hustles (hair braiding/slime/candy) underground, also standing up against unfair dress codes! You can combine with other elements of my #MSWL like homecoming mums!

This next one is a #IYKYK type #MSWL: I love that British narration style--almost Neil Gaiman-esque feel--that features quirky shops. Id' love to see an MG or YA with elements like this.

Mermaids, Take 2 #MSWL. This one is all fun, summer, contemporary vibes, but people who work as professional mermaids. If you watch MERPEOPLE on Netflix, I want the fun, summer, YA version #MSWL

Genre mashups! Like taking the beats from a romance or women's fiction, and bringing them to a fantasy world. Or the high fantasy tropes and taking them to comic con. This is just one example in the pic, but so many ways to play with this! #MSWL
October 23, 2024 at 7:15 PM
Ren Faires! There is so much here, and in so many different angles. I love the escapism of the faires, the small artists business, but there is also elements to unpact! surprise me! #MSWL

Then we have poison gardens, herbalist vibes in a fantasy world. I love the idea that the same plants that can cure things can kill. #MSWL

Mermaids! This is only one version of my mermaid #MSWL: atmospheric, unsettling, not taking place in the water.

I would love a book that comps to SEX EDUCATION meets Lady Whistledown. If you read BEGIN AGAIN, that is also the perfect book comp for my vision on this #MSWL
October 23, 2024 at 7:14 PM
For adult, I am looking for commercial and cozy. I love comedic fantasy; cozy mystery; romance; grounded fantasy. Basically think "light and fun", but I also love a good high concept premise (hence SEVERANCE). I am being very selective in this area & building my list slowly #MSWL
October 17, 2024 at 3:28 PM
So in NA, I feel like this is the hardest for me to convey what I am looking for. The first pic is media comps I think would perfectly fit my NA adult vibes. The second is the way I am reading for NA. #MSWL
