✨An Agent's Guide✨ to my YA/NA fantasy thriller. Gritty. Page-turner. Twists that make you want to yell at me. Aideen is not demure. She is not mindful. She is strength. She is rage. She will go against all odds to save those she loves. #amquerying #litagent #writingcommunity

For querying writers: QueryTracker is not the only resource. Some agents shortlisted for this year's Literary Agent of the Year don't even feature on QueryTracker.

#askanagent doesn’t seem to get a lot of traction but I’m going to try anyway.

Can I release a stand alone free as a magnet to gain readers before querying agents with a series in the same world? Or would the agent/publisher want it all (theoretically)?

REBECCA x RIVIERA x Netflix's THE PERFECT COUPLE

Secrets, lies, suspicious deaths...
Everything played out under hot blue skies & a sparkling sea. Think Mrs Danvers in sunnier climes. #amquerying my romantic suspense set on a Greek island.

#Writingcommunity #agent #litagent #litagents #BookSky 💙📚
Moodboard with blurred image of a drowned woman. Text is: REBECCA x RIVIERA x THE PERFECT COUPLE Four years ago, a woman drowned. She knew secrets, played mind games, many people hated her. Now police are investigating again, and secrets are coming out. Everyone has a motive, especially the people Listy loves. She’s always tried to do the ‘right thing’ but this is different, isn’t it? That’s what she tells herself.

it's been a looooong time since i've made a moodboard, but i'm obsessed with my dark floridian southern gothic religious horror fantasy WIP with a southern baptist magic system. it's my fucked-up take on one of the most iconic biblical betrayals, but make it floridian.🐊🍊

Hey, when you fiddle with words, therapist is the rapist. I never thought of that before...it would've come in handy. Anything worth reading or writing is up to morons, imbecilic, money-grubbing goons. So much worth reading and writing, so little getting through. G.

Q: It’s a little long. Could you cut in half?

A: Sure, there’s a clear midpoint. It just won’t be a standalone

Q: Could you make it stand alone?

A: Yes. If include a world-ending meteor that renders a dramatic ending pointless

Q: Yeah, it’s a no for me

A: That wasn’t a question

I mean, I'm no #litagent, but I can't be the only one who thinks a novel about a bookish teen girl who takes the law into her own hands and becomes a vengeful vigilante after the justice system fails her so spectacularly isn't a little bit... timely 🤷‍♀️

kbarcherwrites.bsky.social KB Archer ✨is querying✨ @kbarcherwrites.bsky.social · Nov 19
if any #litagents are looking for the ultimate feminine rage escape, with a smart and fearless MC who takes "destroy the patriarchy" a little too literally, i have a YA thriller for you ☺️

p.s. my birthday is the 27th *hint hint* 👀🙏
#amquerying
Agent's guide to JUSTICE, a YA psychological thriller by K.B. Archer The pitch: Brainy 17-year-old Gabrielle dreams of college...until the town's golden boy murders her sister. Enraged, she trades hero for villain to avenge girls as a bloodthirsty vigilante, but she must outsmart the law and survive her own plan to succeed. 73K words, IRON WIDOW X FOUL IS FAIR For fans of Karen M. McManus, Holly Jackson I don't like my sister. It's the single-most burning thought in my mind as the three of us brave the parking lot to find Mom's beat-up Honda Accord sagging under a relentless summer sun, a herd of newly graduated high school seniors and their families trickling behind us from the auditorium. Though, like always, they actually manage to spill *around* us, rather than with us. As if we're contagious. Tropes & themes: Smart, bad a** female MC Morally gray anti-hero Not like other girls? She could be ANY girl Grumpy x sunshine, childhood friends to lovers A response to the rising violence against women Destroy the patriarchy Small towns, sisters, overcoming grief
