An #agentsguide to my #amquerying debut novel: ⚙️METAL BONES, PLASTIC HEART💖 #YA #SF
An agent's guide to Metal Bones, Plastic Heart. YA sci-fi, 85 thousand words, by Trinity Pierce. The Pitch: Comps are The Dividing Sky by Jill Tew, Mindwalker by Kate Dylan, Want by Cindy Pon, and Cinder by Marissa Meyer Lonely hacker Renaya must help a kind android boy recover his memories so she can solve her father's murder - before those behind it get to her first. Tropes and Themes: Slow-burn romance, black cat x golden retriever, he falls first, found family, corruption, identity, overcoming grief, and loneliness. Opening Lines: From a distance, the mourners looked like clusters of penguins huddled together. I fiddled with the end of my braid, strangling my fingertips with strands of black hair until they turned blue. A shiver ran through me as a cold breeze kissed the back of my neck; I tossed my braid back over my shoulder. I'd take the clean, freezing air over the stench of other people's breath any day of the week, thank you very much. They could keep that.

As she moves through a summer of her friends’ draining wedding events, Madi meets the sweet, charming Felix and reconnects with her charismatic ex, Jonah, with whom she has unfinished business. When the two find out about each other, they are both unwilling to let Madi go. The solution: date them together. Will Madi choose Felix, Jonah, a new life in London, or some of the above? comps bitter texas honey - Snarky third-person narration bridget jones' diary - A twisty love triangle social engagement - Upmarket millennial wedding satire first lines Madelyn didn’t think she was one of the monsters in the dating swamp. An ex-tennis player and employed, she thought she was a diamond in the muck. But she hadn’t had a second date in over a year now, and she wondered if she had a rotten personality or if the men were the problem. Madi didn’t catch the bouquet at Sydney’s wedding. She missed it because she was drunk on white wine and watered-down Aperol Spritz wandering around the venue.

#questpit #W #A #H #HF
An agent’s guide to The Banshee of Clan Murtagh, 71,000 word gothic horror by Anna Hirsch Tropes: He’s human, she’s immortal • Only one grave • Byronic hero protagonist • Uncovering lost memories • Medieval Irish setting • Tragic ending Comps: The death-touched romance of Nosferatu, the Catholic guilt of The Possession of Alba Díaz by Isabel Cañas, the black plague of Hamnet by Maggie O’Farrell, the folkloric love story of Juniper & Thorn by Ava Reid Pitch: When Ciarán Murtagh hears the cry of his family’s banshee for the first time in a decade, he knows one of his own is fated to die. But they don’t believe his warnings--why would they? The last time Ciarán heard the banshee he didn’t tell a soul until after his cousin’s tragic death, and they’ve never trusted him since. Desperate for redemption in his family’s eyes, Ciarán hunts down the banshee in search of answers. She’s equal parts frightening and alluring, and in his struggle to confront her, he inadvertently triggers the banshee’s memories. Memories of when she was a servant of his household, generations ago, named Deirdre. Deirdre claims that Ciarán’s physical touch restores her memories, and demands more. He agrees to meet by moonlight in hope of learning whose death she foretold. With every encounter, Ciarán’s attraction to Deirdre grows, setting him on a path of macabre desire. When the devastating bubonic plague befalls the Murtagh household, and Deirdre’s memories reveal a dark scandal in the family’s history, Ciarán must decide whether to stay by his family’s side in their final hours or embrace the seduction of the death-bringer. I was a boy of ten when I first saw death, but I’d heard her for years. It was an early summer’s day when we went to the lough. Niamh led us through the forest along the stream, babbling all the way with a lightness that opposed her urgent pace. “This could be our best chance to see the merrow! Auntie said the veil is thin. They’ll be near and then we can speak!” “She also said we shouldn’t go this far,” I begrudged her. Again about the merrow. She had been speaking of them for days, and insisted that Deaglán and I journey with her to the lough, where they lay beneath the surface. Finbar wasn’t supposed to come, but Aunt Eithne had made us watch him while she harvested yellow flowers on the hillside. He slowed us down, and Niamh’s frustration roiled off her like steam against the cool breeze. Though the land was ripe with life, winter still dragged a claw through the air. As we ventured deeper into the forest, a feeling of unease grew within me. A sound rang in my ears, so faint I could not tell if it was imagined or real. Because for weeks, it had haunted my dreams.

A MEMORY OF MOONKISSED MALICE Fantasy Dark Academia Feminine Rage Vampires Corrupted Moon Magic Villain Era Protag Queendoms Enemies to Lovers Found Family THE PITCH 18-year-old Alyss Veylas wishes to attend Nocturne Collegiate for one reason—revenge. Five long years after her sister was murdered by the school's guardian, she finally gets that chance. Armed with a Moon Fragment granting memory magic and the aid of her ex and his new girlfriend, Alyss must confront the woman who took away the person she loved most. CHAPTER ONE The rain made it easier to rob his grave. My shovel carved through the sodden earth, the water contorting into murky veins around its edge. Desperation drove each labored thrust, the burning ache in my muscles but an afterthought to the prize that lied in wait. Even the Valera Forest held its breath; the fog thick enough to smother the night's whispers. All was silent save for the spilling of soil under the deluge that drenched us. Us.

CABIN IN THE WOODS × JOHN DIES AT THE END

When their detective friend is murdered during their annual gaming retreat, 5 dads must rely on years of #TTRPG experience—and puns—to solve the crime before they're all killed off like NPCs in a badly written supernatural campaign.

The image, made with free non-AI stock pictures, 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.

Left to right: (Left) A 13-year-old Native American/Māori boy with long curly hair tied in a ponytail. He wears tiny gold hoops in his ears. His uniform is lilac and gold. A lilac jacket with the initials MA stitched into it, a gold vest with purple lining, a gold tie, and plaid, purple pants. The tallest of the group. (Middle) A 13-year-old Black girl with light blue hair styled into cornrows. She has multiple piercings on each ear, including two dangling crescent moons. She has a mole under her eye. She wears the same uniform as the previous boy, but her jacket is buttoned up and she wears a skirt. She has a slight gap between her two front teeth. Much shorter than the boy on the left, slightly taller than the boy on the right. (Right) A 13-year-old Black/Filipino boy who's wearing the same uniform as the previous two. He's added a dark purple hoodie to his uniform. His dark hair is sectioned into twists. He's wearing circular, golden-rimmed sunglasses. A small, red fox is perched on his shoulders.

#QuestPit #A #S #SF #W
Made from non-AI free stock images. This image is a book cover design for a novel titled "Happy Death Inc." by B. Van Bodegom. The cover is divided into three distinct horizontal sections: 1. Top Section: Features a cartoonish blue sky with white clouds and a bright sun. At the top, a tagline reads: "How much would you pay to die with a smile?" The word "HAPPY" appears in large, playful, hand-drawn-style font, partially overlapping the sky background. 2. Middle Section: A photograph of a deceased man in a suit, lying in a casket. He has an exaggerated smile on his face, almost unnaturally wide and clean, suggesting artificial enhancement or post-mortem alteration. Overlaid on this image is the word "DEATH" in the same large font as the previous word. 3. Bottom Section: A cartoon city skyline in pastel tones, similar in style to the top sky background. The word "INC." is overlaid prominently in the same large font. At the very bottom: A novel by B. van Bodegom
