Writing is a journey, and while some stages take longer than others, the best thing you can do is keep going, keep writing, and keep hoping. After nearly a year querying The Witch and the Thief, I’m so grateful to have found the perfect partner for my writing career.

Comps 🖤 The Witch and the Thief will appeal to those who enjoy the enchanting, character-driven work of The Spellshop by Sarah Beth Durst and the gothic, atmospheric writing of The Knight and the Moth by Rachel Gillig.

Pitch 🖤 When a witch and a thief are bound together by a hex, they must work to unravel the mysterious layers of a blight enclosing a nearby town or risk its deadly expansion.

Art has always been an expression of humanity. When you take the human out of the equation, you end up with something soulless, a heartless rendering that is flat, and tasteless. Read my brief thoughts on AI and the writing process here. www.threads.com/@aldoyle.wri...

Hi! ☺️👋 I write fantasy and poetry! My most recent book is about a witch and a thief with a cozy cottage setting and a gothic twist. Prior to that I wrote a gaslamp fantasy novel set in an original world about a necromancer who fights to save her found family.

Remaking burned away the old me flakes apart ashen skin carried by the wind unveiling something new all that remains are iron bones forged in the remaking

As Mephi died for the fifth time this week, he noticed something strange in the crowd… Mephi questions his villainous role in the puppet show he was made for and pulls against his magical strings. Read my short story Role of a Lifetime to find out the twist! open.substack.com/pub/aldoylew...

I’m currently in the query process for my adult fantasy novel, The Witch and the Thief. It has a cozy cottage setting with a gothic twist, a found family dynamic, and a deep emotional heart. Hopeful I’ll find the right agent soon. 🖤
