I found this report really interesting. Most of it supports what I've been saying in conversations with authors worried about how to respond to potential accusations of AI use in their work, as well as editors who ask how I screen for AI-generated material: it becomes clear through revisions. 🧵/

Ever wondered why we call our planet Mother Earth? Just think about how we treat our women. The atmospheric prose of Circe meets the corruption of Blood Over Bright Haven in this dark academia fantasy where feminine rage has catastrophic consequences – but who could blame her? #QuestPit #W #DF

A graphic with the novel title (fruit of spoiled seed by Shannon Reault) and a mini synopsis, followed by a list of featured elements of the book. The background of the graphic is a red and white mushroom.

The text is as follows:

After concluding her first year of training at Typhon Academy with a record-breaking performance at the Spring Exhibition, Rowan Wildes is changing the perception of female Corpian Witches on Ouros Island. But when her magic inexplicably weakens, leaving relentless pain in its wake, she is forced to return for her second year at Typhon with physical and magical deficiencies which, if discovered, put her future in the High Priest’s Service at risk. Determined to stop her deterioration, she discovers her jaded training nemesis, Taran, has turned to forbidden sigil magic to seek his revenge.
Willing to stop at nothing to reverse the damage Taran inflicted, she embarks on a desperate search to uncover his dirty work, unearthing a buried history of malevolent witchcraft, and the unfortunate fate of the women who fell victim to it. When Rowan is forced to face the reality of her condition and decide between saving her reputation and exposing the ugly truth, she takes matters into her own hands, and it just might cost her her life.

Featuring:
Disability representation
Diverse characters
Found family
Romance subplot
Magic system based on real pagan practices and the natural world

The text is as follows:

An academic dark fantasy where patriarchal society, government corruption, and internalized misogyny highlight the reality of living as a disabled woman through a speculative lens, and the grief, pain, and rage that come with it.

For fans of…
Wayward (female rage)
Circe (nature based magic)
Blood Over Bright Haven (flawed protagonist)

A graphic with the title Fruit of Spoiled Seed by Shannon Reault, and an excerpt of the opening paragraph. The graphic has a background of green ivy.

The text is as follows:

At first, Fallon thought she was singing. Of course, he should’ve known better. Any sound with the slightest hint of melody was choked out the moment it touched the acrid air of the subterranean passageways. As the notes grew nearer, slithering towards him through the belly of the dungeon, he came to the logical conclusion. She was screaming, interrupted only by the intermittent pleas for mercy. He wished he could tell her she was wasting her breath, so she might spend the last moments of her life with something more dignified on her lips. Contempt. Disgust. Peace. Silence. Her desperate resistance only sealed her fate. His father loved his prey to fight to the bitter end. Nothing is more powerful than fear, he always said, and Fallon believed him. Because even though he was not yet eighteen, he knew he’d spend every moment of his life fearing his father.

A graphic that says “Sounds like…” with six phone screenshots of songs on Spotify. The graphic has a background of marble with scrapbook style decoration.

The songs include:
“Hunter - the cacophony” Paris Paloma
“Us and Pigs” Sofia Isella
“Woman is a Tree” The Last Dinner Party
“Monolith” Phidel
“Everybody Scream” Florence and the Machine
“the fruits” Paris Paloma

As the Stone King's reign crumbles, alliances form in unexpected places. But can they withstand the chaos that follows? 🎭 MultiPOV 👑 Court intrigue 🐉 Mythical beasts 🪄 Magic 🙏 Sinister faith 👁️ gods are real 🇰🇪 Kenyan mythology 💔 Love vs duty #QuestPit #Q #A #F

Black graphic with stylized red line art of a castle labeled “The Liitokho (The Lady Eshiala’s Seat).” White text reads “Shortlisted by 3 editors RevPit 2026.” Title: “An Agent’s Guide to Stonebound,” with “Stonebound” in large yellow letters. Subtitle: “an Adult Folkloric High Fantasy Novel by Anindo Zelle,” ~120K words. Tags: African Fantasy, Kenyan Folklore, Mythological Retelling, and “Star-Crossed Lovers Subplot.” Decorative stars, a ringed planet, and dotted footsteps accent the design.

Black infographic-style graphic outlining a fantasy plot. Teal portrait of Sadaka wa Wafula labeled “Eshiala’s ‘token’ leader,” who leads her people under Winam’s occupation and keeps secrets. A note reads “Winam’s ancient Stone King dies,” beside a crowned skull labeled “Not immortal after all.” Red illustration of a fortress labeled “The Odrodh (The Stone King’s Palace).” Text states “Eshiala’s survival demands the unthinkable—marriage to the enemy,” shown with a contract icon. Yellow portrait of Sidhokano wud Mirimalit, “Winam’s youngest Stone Prince,” described as having a “grumpy inner beast.” Dotted paths connect elements with phrases like “The fragile peace shatters” and “The two have history.”

Black infographic-style graphic continuing a fantasy plot. A cloaked figure labeled “Has a covert mission.” Text explains Sadaka searches the Odrodh for a key to Eshiala’s liberation. A couple icon notes “He falls first (but she’s not too far behind)” and that he’s “not the monster she expected.” A key icon marks her discovering how to destroy his kind, though her goals shift. Red text: “Meanwhile… a sinister faith hunts wielders” and “The gods are determined to tear Sadaka & Sidhokano apart,” shown with a temple illustration. Final line: she must choose between betraying him for her people or protecting him and risking both nations.

Black infographic titled “COMPS” and “SNIPPET” in white chalk-style font. Four comp titles with covers and themes: Masquerade (court intrigue, myth retelling), The Final Strife (politics, African mythology), The House of Rust (Kenyan-inspired), and The Broken Earth Trilogy (geologic magic, survival). A teal box shows a Chapter 1 excerpt: “SADAKA. When it came to any body of water larger than her bathing pool at the Liitokho in Mumia, Sadaka wa Wafula tried to follow one rule. Don’t go in. Especially not when facing unknown depths.” Teal stars, a location pin, and dotted footprints decorate the layout.

When the six kingdoms prestigious magic school announces a formidable trial promising freedom and noble status, Tehtte’s most notorious assassin Agni enters an uneasy alliance with her second worst nightmare: her childhood bane and the city’s Lionheart Knight—Fala.

Now, surviving her penultimate year is the least of her worries. Agni is still drowning in her failure of an ancient prophecy, running from the monsters her people became, and trying to hide from a king hell bent on finding her. As the realms brace for the perilous trials, Agni is confronted with a haunting question: is her prophecy’s fulfillment still yet to come, and is her heart truly hers to lose?

Now, Letyf must defy his father, his people, and his endless self-doubt to stop Roksa from turning Crelan into a battleground.

To Letyf, Crelan is home.

To Lia, it’s just one more, backwoods fantasy world.

A world-hopping demon, Lia has served heroes and villains hundreds of times before. If Roksa wants her to conquer his home-world, she’ll just have to do it—after all, why would a world like this be worth saving?

When his elf supremacist cousin threatens war, Letyf must confront his traumatic past on a world-saving quest—but he's far from a hero. To make matters worse, he's up against Lia, a world-hopping demon with a reputation to uphold and plenty of lives under her belt. #Q #A #F #Questpit #AgentsGuide

"An Agent's Guide to Distant Realm, Adult High Fantasy, Dual POV, 136,000 words." A collage of images set against a backdrop of a misty forest. The central images feature a worried blond man, looking away from the camera, a serious woman with dark hair looking into the camera, and a realistic engraved set of armor. The top image features armored soldiers attacking a large city. To the left, are two text clips, bookending a drawing of travelers in a sunny forest. The top text clip says: "Letyf realized all at once that he'd never seen anyone die before. A thousand thoughts raced in his mind, but they were like arguing in another room, muffled through walls." The bottom text clip says" "And what if your paths cross again?" "Well, if possible, and if my master commands, I'll kill him."" Below the images is a tagline: "...is one small world worth dying for?"

An idyllic forest in summer, with parchment over top, reading: "THE PITCH: Letyf Duilles has no place on a world-saving quest.

Roksa Morthir took everything from Letyf—his sight, his magic, and his future. Now, Letyf must defy his father, his people, and his endless self-doubt to stop Roksa’s war.

To Letyf, Crelan is home.
To Lia, it’s just one more, backwoods fantasy world.

A world-hopping demon, Lia has served heroes and villains hundreds of times before. If Roksa wants her to conquer his home-world, she’ll just have to do it with gritted teeth and minimal complaints about the plumbing. After all, she’s bound to obey—and why would a world like this be worth saving?"

THE COMPS:

FIRST LINES: We landed in my master's home-world with enough force to buckle my knees. As I yanked the heels of my pumps out of the super-heated soil, my master turned to gaze around at the brilliant green hills of his land.
--
Letyf drew back his arrow, sighting down the shaft at a kingbird on a low branch.
The bird cocked its head, beady eyes darting around, but they passed right over Letyf, crouched as he was in the brush. He adjusted his aim, accounting for the faint breeze.
He exhaled, gave the string a touch more pressure, then released.
The arrow arced away—and missed the fat gamebird by a clear foot.

* Cordelia is a mermaid hunter who is cursed to come back to life as a flesh-eating siren after she dies at sea.
* She falls in love with a kind siren named Selene and keeps her identity a secret.
* When her family tries to kill Selene, Cordelia reveals herself to beg for mercy.
* Her adoptive brother gives her an ultimatum: return to the family fold and he'll leave Selene alone, or refuse and watch him slaughter everyone she's come to love.

"It was a child.
She shouldn’t have recognized it as such. The fish were a threat to society no matter their age. Creatures so vicious could hardly even be called animals, let alone people. Yet when she saw those eyes, all she could think was child. The same age she had been when her world nearly ended. The petrified whimper that drifted over the waves sounded the same as hers. In that moment, time stopped, and the difference that stood out to her wasn’t the sleek silver tail, but this: when Cordelia was scared, the people she loved had stepped in to make sure she knew she wasn’t alone.
The tiny mer had no one to stand in between it and the crossbow bolt pointed between its eyes. There was only the tremble of Cordelia’s own treacherous hands, and the fleeting, impossible thought that crossed her mind.
Am I a murderer?"

* Elias and Lilia are happily married.

* He sees androids as appliances.
* She thinks they're an existential threat to humanity.
* He gets revived as an android.

* He fights against censorship software to try and tell her who he is.

“Vivre Iterum wants us to think we’ve lost control. They think we’ve learned to play God. They’ve deluded themselves into thinking we’re making people. But we know better, don’t we?”
Elias tilted his microphone forward to catch the audience’s shouts and cheers. The noise reverberated down to his bones. It set his nerves alight, making him fight to keep his impassioned scowl from morphing into a rapturous smile.
He pulled the microphone back up to his face and said, “But don’t get me wrong, there are people involved in this. Real, living people, with red blood and beating hearts. People like you and me, American citizens looking for connection. These are the people who are going to get hurt when they allow themselves to get attached to what are effectively advanced chatbots.”

THE STARS & THE GHOST THEY CREATED Adult/New Adult Upmarket Contemporary How do you protect yourself from all the things you can't see coming? ✨️ grief & the desire to belong 🧠 mental health rep 🖊️ college campus setting 💛 friendship #QuestPit #U #A #NA #Q

...until he collides with the one person who can toss his plans (and his pills) to the sidewalk.

The Stars & the Ghost They Created
Adult/New Adult Upmarket Contemporary

Premise
When a college student with secrets to hide collides with a girl who is used to running away, neither knows just how deep the cracks in their foundations might go—but sometimes the walls must fall for the beauty beneath to be revealed.

Comps
Everyone in This Room Will Someday Be Dead
My Friends
We Are Okay
Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine
The Wedding People

Snippet
The campus around me is almost as dead as the leaves on the ground. There are a few people clustered around a coffee station, preparing for a late night of studying. A girl with short black hair runs to the academic building, clutching her skirt to keep it from flying up. Probably late for an evening class or club meeting. Over by the big oak tree, a couple sits on a bench with the unobtainable hope of keeping each other warm. I scoff and keep walking, lowering my head once again.
It’s all pointless.
Everything.
But as I pass, I can’t keep my eyes from drifting over to them. There’s a sharp prick of pain in my chest and I try to blink it away. Rose vines masquerading as fingers press into the deepest parts of me and squeeze, leaving a hollow hunger when the thorns are plucked out one by one.

Pitch Slide:
Oh brave new world, with such paperwork in it. When aliens arrive at the same time as her crew on an uninhabited planet, it’s up to Gloria to solve their territory dispute. And figure out her feelings for Emeric, an alien man with iridescent hair and mothlike antennae. For Gloria, that last part may be the most harrowing. She’s spent her life running from the truth: of what she wants, who she is, and her complicity in her company’s technostate intentions for their colony.

Gloria and Emeric must collaborate to protect the disputed land from an invasive moss. Despite the paperwork and his constant teasing, she starts to let him in. Until their growing feelings are cut short by the revelation he has lied to her about his own goals on the planet. If she wants to protect her crew and humanity itself, she will need to weaponize her wits and even bureaucracy against him. Their culture clash asks: what is honesty? And what will it take for Gloria to finally be honest with her crew—and herself?

Excerpt Slide

Next to the text, art of Gloria and Emeric is on the right. He is leaning her back in a dance position, their hands together. He looks devious, while she is angry at him but blushing. His hair is iridescent and billowing around them. A note in red ink points to him and reads "Asshole and an idiot!!"

Excerpt text:
His other hand pointed to their adjoined palms. Beginning at their pinkie fingers, he bounced to the next digit and enunciated a new, unintelligible word. Each finger anointed until reaching her thumb. This was the oddest difference between their hands; his was longer with an extra joint. Clarity crashed into her. Her inhale sharpened.

Five fingers.

Across the universe, she met a new lifeform and they both had five fingers on each hand.

"Oh my god," Gloria breathed. Ironically, it was their shared features that overwhelmed her. Comfort should accompany commonality, but instead, it made this fever dream of an experience harder to deny. It was tangible that she was standing here with a bipedal humanoid with five fingers, even if his skin was blue and he had rainbow hair and feathery moth antennae. Either she was going to start laughing hysterically or throw up.

Warble, the alien agreed (she had no idea if that was an affirmative).

An #AgentsGuide to ASHMARKED for #QuestPit The first lie was calling it faith... #A #F #DF #Q

An Agent's Guide to Ashmarked
Netflix's Midnight Mass meets Shadow and Bone for corrupt faith breeding sanctioned violence and bound to dangerous power others seek.

The Comps- Blood over Bright Haven for power built on a buried, dangerous truth, and Godkiller for an unwelcome bond with a dangerous power

The pitch: When darkness incarnate breaks free from her fire-worshiping faith, a young woman discovers it's bound to her bloodline, making her the key to re-caging it. Now hunted, she must sever the tether before it consumes her.

Photo: burning mannequin.

The quotes:

"You were the light in my lifetime of darkness."

“The Flamebearer didn’t bear the darkness,” he said softly, as if he knew that what he said next would break her. “He was the darkness.”
And it did. She broke, entirely. Right down the middle of her heart. The words violated prayer she’d ever whispered, and every memory of every drop of blood she’d ever given.

F/NB WAYFARERS x MURDERBOT Ship's cook Tai is horrified to discover their new crewmate is a terrifying alien: an ordinary human woman. Now Tai's stuck with bickering crewmates, sinister criminals, explosions, and worse, a human who wants to be friends. #QuestPit #Q #A #SF #R #LGBT

Mood board/Agent's guide for my novel CARGO - a queer SF/heist/romance - 113,000 words

"Did you hear? There's a human on board."
A graphic of the wall of a spaceship with sticky notes and polaroid photos taped up. There are twinkle lights hanging from the ceiling.
alien ship's cook (fussy, anxious) + terrifying monster (ordinary human)

PITCH:
Tai’s terrified of humans. Everyone is. Violent pack hunters, humans are notorious for their strength, sharp teeth, and carnivorous appetites. But the ship’s cook is safe among the multispecies crew of the cargo hauler Coreward Baker: everyone knows the warrior species rarely leave their own space. Then Captain Raz hires Clarke, a human horticulturist.
Even after Tai overcomes their fear, they can’t stand Clarke. She’s bossy. Annoying. Useless in the galley, bad in a space suit. She might as well be cargo. Worse, she’s intent on befriending Tai—and why can’t they stop thinking about her, anyway?
That’s when things go wrong. As Tai starts to realize their feelings for Clarke, they’re horrified to learn that nobody on their crew of dropouts and runaways is quite who they seem, least of all Clarke. And it’s no coincidence. Raz reveals they’ve each been handpicked for a heist he’s spent years planning—and no one’s allowed to say no.

PRIORITIES:
make dinner
remain cozy
haul cargo
go for drinks
pull off one last score
try not to fall in love

FIRST PAGE:

“Did you hear? There’s a Human on board.”
I choked on my noodles and turned to stare at the diners at the next table. Like most of the restaurant’s patrons, the pair had hidden their profiles, a halfhearted attempt at anonymity.
“Gross,” the speaker’s crewmate said, oblivious to my alarm. “I hope it leaves soon.”
“Don’t let it hear you say that,” the first worker laughed. She made a show of looking for Humans, her eyes darting from table to table.
It. I frowned. I knew the workers’ language distinguished between people and things, and ‘it’ was an unkind choice of words at best.
The second worker shuddered. “I don’t know why we let them come here.”
The first laughed. “Are you going to stop them?”

COMPS:

THE EVERWINTER KING Querying Soon! Desperate to find his oldest friend, the missing sun god, a former holy king returns to the home he abandoned and the people he betrayed to reunite with his god and prevent an endless winter. #QuestPit #Q #A #F #AgentsGuide

Title page for an agent's guide to THE EVERWINTER KING. The title is placed over a moodboard featuring a Mediterranean inspired setting and royalty imagery. In addition to the title the page reads "Adult Fantasy Standalone. Queer normative world. MM romance subplot. 95,000 words."

THE EVERWINTER KING's pitch.

PITCH
A former holy king does the one thing he swore he’d never do in search of his missing god. He goes home.

Malachi was born with God’s voice in his head. When God vanishes in the midst of a decade-long winter, Mal breaks the oath he made to himself and returns to the home he abandoned—the city where he was raised to be king. There, he’s marked to compete in trials meant to select God’s new emissary. His replacement.

After succeeding in the first trial, Mal demands entry to the royal temple, where he learns the skies are empty. God has stopped speaking to his priests and Mal alike. With no other avenue for answers, Mal must win the competition for God’s favor and assume the throne he never wanted, or risk losing his oldest friend for good and damning the world to a worsening everwinter.

An excerpt from THE EVERWINTER KING.

“My head hurts,” Malachi mumbled into his drink.

“They say King Ridaris’ eye glowed like this.”

Did they? Malachi shuffled through his memories for any mention of that from his mothers, or the history books, and found nothing.

“I think it means God knows who you are.” Sen lowered her voice, eyes shifting toward the surrounding priests. Kinder to pretend she did it out of concern for his headache. “You need to be careful.”

“Aye.”

“It hasn’t stopped glowing. Everyone else’s did.”

He raised a hand to cover his eye, pausing to marvel at the light pouring over his fingers and palm. It spilled into every crack, crevice, and scar his hand had to offer, like liquid pooled against his skin. Malachi closed his fist around the cold light and pressed it to his face. “Hurts.”

“Close your eyes,” Samara offered. “Rest. We’ll handle it from here.”

For once, he did just that.

A page listing comp titles.

Comp titles for THE EVERWINTER KING include: "The Raven Scholar" by Antonia Hodgson, "The Raven Tower" by Ann Leckie, "WITCH KING" by Martha Wells, and "The Red Winter" by Cameron Sullivan.

Similarities include: godly shenanigans, political trials, queer-norm worlds, queer male leads, messy homecomings, and a second chance subplot.

Bonus comp! Dragon Age 2.
