A LEGACY OF ASH ✨ A stolen relic awakens the volatile magic that cost Aurenna Taerwyn her future. Now the long-lost Fifth Saint and a living reminder of a long-denied genocide, she is the only one who can stop the Luminary—if she can survive their attempt to repeat history. #q #na #f #r #posterpit
A film style poster for "A Legacy of Ash" with text overlay against a dark forest. A cloaked figure, viewed from behind, stands holding a large, golden flame that curls upwards. The figure's hood is up. The title "A Legacy of Ash" is prominently displayed in a stylized white serif font at the top. Below, a line of text reads "A FILM BY SIERRA JANAE." Top left features a laurel wreath icon with text "#OWNVOICES," and top right, another laurel wreath with "PROFESSIONALLY EDITED." In orange text above the title is "Long live the Fifth Saint." Four phrases are stacked near the bottom: "SLOW-BURN ROMANCE," "SAINT MYTHOLOGY," "CHOSEN ONE," "FRIENDS TO LOVERS." The final words at the very bottom are "NOW QUERYING." The dark, moody forest is in the background, with the cloaked figure as the central focus.

THE LIES OF LOCKE LAMORA × BEST SERVED COLD × THE BUTCHER BOY When a Court Jester snaps and brutally murders the tyrant king, he must perform and slay his way out of a kingdom in chaos, hunted by loyalists, hailed by rebels, while his sanity slips and fractures. #PosterPit #W #A #F #H
A vertical poster for "MARK OF THE JESTER" features a split-color design: white on the left with black elements and black on the right with white elements. A thin border frame at the top contains the phrase "A DARK FANTASY."
​The central image consists of a large, stylized jester’s mask split down the middle to match the background. The mask features one hollow eye hole and a wide, grinning mouth colored deep red. Four mirrored rose silhouettes surround the mask.
​The title is rendered in a distressed, hand-drawn font. On the left, a black laurel wreath contains the text, "A most unreliable narrator!" On the right, a white laurel wreath contains the text, "Horror! Madness! Laughs!"
​The bottom left includes an "R" rating box with warnings for violence, sexual content, language, and disturbing images. The bottom right lists "WRITTEN and DIRECTED by B. VAN BODEGOM" above a synopsis regarding a jester and a king.

A poster, featuring an illustrated portrait of Aubeline de Sterraux from A LEGACY OF BLOOD AND BONE. She is a white woman with brown hair tied in an intricate hairstyle. She wears a black dress with puffed sleeves and white earings. Aubeline is shown kneeling and praying, her head looking up.  The top of the poster is colored, and the bottom part is black and white, the two part being separated by a red stain reminiscent of blood.  The title of the book is in the center. Underneath is more text reading "A novel by Millie Abecassis," then a quote by April Yates reading "A gothic gem, rich with dread, desire, and a magic system as haunting as it is original."  Under the quote are the names of several characters, listed as if they were actors: Aubeline de Sterraux, Vinnie Anneton, Damarisse de Sterraux, and "unhinged dudes."  At the top are Cannes festival-style quotes reading "dangerous body-based magic" and "slow-burn sapphic romance."

Good Boys Only cover page. Stock images of a plus-size white woman, and a plus-size white man with tattoos. Agent's Guide, 89,000 words, adult-plus-size rom-com. Images of polaroid pictures with stock images, including tattooed hand-holding, a Red Wings game, and a corgi + golden retriever. On a green background with Sydney and Owen repeated in a transparent deboss over the backgroundGood Boys Only pitch. Includes a stock image of a man with tattoos, and a plus-size woman. Emoticons of a pawprint and leaf. Split green background with sage green and light green. With this text: After her boyfriend of six years moves out, retail manager Sydney Bennett is barely hanging on—juggling long shifts and a side hustle dog-sitting to tide her over. When she meets Owen Sutton in the personal care aisle after a rant about two “demonic Pomeranians,” he’s instantly charmed—and in need of a sitter for his own, much better-behaved dogs.

What starts as a business arrangement turns into something gentler and deeper: a slow-burning romance between two people still healing from betrayal. But as Sydney faces losing her apartment and the past comes back to haunt Owen, they’ll have to decide if the safety they’ve found in each other is worth risking their hearts for.Sample page and comp titles. Well, Actually by Mazey Eddings. You, With a View by Jessica Joyce. Curvy Girl Summer by Danielle Allen. Young & Hungry (TV Show). Text:        “I hate to admit it, but you might be onto something,” I say with a small smile.
       “A compliment? From the chef herself? Whew, I’m gonna need to sit down.” Owen beams at me, and it’s a blast of electricity straight to my heart. “But think about it—you can finally get out of retail hell. I can help you, too. With a business plan. I’m kinda good at that stuff.” His grin turns sheepish before he dips his pinky finger into the sauce, sneaking a taste.
       My body processes the feeling before I do, and I lean closer to him, a newfound buoyancy floating across my limbs. “You’d do that for me?”
       “I’m not sure when you’ll get it through your pretty head that I’d do anything for you, Syd. Literally anything you asked.” He steps toward me, body radiating heat like the oven, casting me in a warm glow.
       His words have my stomach sinking to the bottom of the ocean. Tension circles the space between us, grasping the string and yanking us impossibly close. I scan across him, the art decorating his perfect form, and it’s suddenly a bucket list item to be part of his canvas. “Would you get a tattoo for me?”
       Owen’s nostrils flare and he squeezes his fists, as if he can feel the sting of the needle inking me onto him. “What’d you have in mind?” he chokes out.
       I crane my neck. He’s so close, eclipsing the steam from the pan surely teetering toward burnt. I can’t find it in me to care. “I think a sage leaf sprig would suffice, since you do love using my middle name.”
       “I’m not opposed. Where would you want it? Somewhere hidden? Where you’d only see it if I let you? Maybe front and center for a daily reminder of you?” He shifts. Our chests brush. Breathing is an illusion, a magic trick. I’ve never drawn in a breath in my life.Good Boys Only Tropes: black cat x golden retriever, stranger to lovers, she's his dog sitter, confident plus-sized FMC, facetimes & texts, found family, he falls first his dogs fall harder, set in Michigan, starting over at 30, when the spice hits...

Text: SAMPLE 1st draft
     Charlie rushes to the table, her burgundy maxi dress of choice cascading behind her in a flutter. “We have a problem.”
     “What do you mean by ‘we’ and ‘problem’?”
     “I mean, there’s a woman in the lobby who straight up refuses to leave. She’s been here through your last three clients.”
     What’s going on? Is there some retrograde I missed? Is my moon phase off?
     “Please tell me it’s not the sa—”
     “No, thank god. It’s not her. But she says she won’t leave until she talks to you.”
     “What is in the air?” I groan, throwing my head back. Am I going to have to get security or something?
     “She seems normal, at least. Hopefully, after you talk to her, she’ll just…leave.”
     “Did she say why she needed to talk to me?”
     “Yeah, she detailed the entire conversation she wanted to have with you before I whisked back here in a panic. No, you dummy, she refuses to say more than three words to me,” Charlie whisper-screams. She runs her talons through her thick, black hair, strands catching under the loosening crystals.
     Pushing up from my chair, I adjust my skirt, the elastic striking my skin with a grounding smack. “Alright.”
     The early evening light casts the shop in an amber glow, rainbow reflections from the crystals transforming my favorite place into a kaleidoscope. I scan across the variety of tables Charlie, Elliot, and I thrifted when cobbling this place together, fondness spreading through my chest. Then my eyes land on a woman I’ve never seen before. At least, I think I haven’t? She’s decked out in head-to-toe color. Her ice-blonde hair is short and curled, almost 50s-style, and she looks about my age, maybe a little older. But something about her seems familiar in the oddest sense of the word.
