Hi. So, do I finally get to learn your name now?

hmm…I dunno. wouldn’t it be more fun if you had to guess it first? then say it three times in a row and summon a poltergeist?

Ah, like in Goodwill Hunting, right? One of my favorites.

lol okay, fine. you win. my name’s mara.

Mara. Got it. Just said it three times in a row. Now I guess I’ll wait and see how long it takes for that poltergeist to show up?

well, don’t hold your breath. so, jack bartlett, what does a sophisticated ghost hunter like yourself normally get up to on a night like this?

You mean besides the exorcisms? I just got home from my night class. I’ll probably throw on some Hulu and spend a few hours aimlessly scrolling the internet. If I’m feeling really wild, I might even make some microwave popcorn. I’m kind of a daredevil, if you hadn’t noticed.

ha. I had a feeling.

What about you? Up to anything interesting? Maybe plotting how you’re going to get out of this date with me on Friday? I wouldn’t blame you for cutting your losses early.

nope, no plotting. trust me, you’re doing ME a favor. though I should probably warn you in advance, these things are kind of a drag. just think of everything you hated about your high school dances and multiply it by ten.

Actually, I was pretty lame in high school. I never even went to a dance. I think I spent my prom night alphabetizing my record collection…which didn’t take very long, considering I only had twelve.

lol. that’s kind of adorable.

So, what should I wear to this formal thing? I’m assuming my finest tuxedo t-shirt will do, but you can never be too sure…

as much as I would LOVE to see that, I don’t think a tux tee falls within the constraints of the dress code. you don’t need to wear anything too fancy, though. most guys do a suit or separates, if that’s cool with you.

Easy enough. Any specific color I should match? Is that still a thing people do? What color’s your dress?

It’s blue. navy blue. but don’t worry about it, you don’t have to match me if you don’t want to.

By all means, let’s match. Plus, blue’s my favorite color. I bet it looks great on you.

✨ THE CRAFT x ONE DARK WINDOW ✨ When Lola’s deadly shadows escape, killing her best friend, she must seek control at an elite magical academy before they kill again—or lose her humanity. Perfect for agents who like: 🏳️‍🌈 Sapphic BIPOC witches 🖤 Body horror 💫 Fantasy/Horror/Mystery #QuestPit #Q #A #F

An image of a school with multiple towers, in black on a grey sky, with multiple crescent moons hanging above. The text reads ‘an agents guide to The Bells of Le Fay, adult dark academia fantasy, 102k words.

A silhouette of a woman reaching up to the sky with a bright light between her hands. There is a shadowed tree next to her. The text reads: pitch, The price of magic is monstrous. Lola Knight expects to live a normal life, but when the deadly shadows beneath her skin escape, killing her best friend, she must attend Le Fay Academy for Higher Magics to seek control before they kill again. When she finds out the shadows are slowly turning her into a monster, she chases a cure through the ancient archives—but instead unearths a dangerous conspiracy, and must decide: keep digging to unmask the true monsters, or accept her fate and risk her humanity.

An open spell book surrounded by candles and a mirror. There are three book covers; for One Dark Window, Book of Night, and The Incandescent. The text reads: tropes and comps, witchy dark academia, monstrous magic, sapphic romance, ancient archives, body horror, unhelpful ghosts.

The silhouette of a woman with a huge dark shadow looming over her. The text reads: first lines. The shadows had teeth, and they hungered for blood. They shouldn’t exist here, amongst the weathered sandstone of Durham University. They shouldn’t exist at all, outside the confines of Lola’s mind. But the terrible scratching of claws against flagstone wasn’t a figment of her imagination, as she had first thought, strolling arm-in-arm with Sam on their way home from an end-of-exams party. She didn’t notice them straight away, her gaze sliding over the shadows cast by the faculty buildings. She didn’t notice them until they peeled away from the walls, their darkness thicker and more absolute than the others. Even then she pulled her gaze away, dismissing it. Inebriation hung over her like a thin veil, turning the glow of street lamps into a kaleidoscopic sky.

Covenant of the Damned (119k rom. fantasy) in microtropes! When the Lord she’s sworn to protect is poisoned, a headstrong guard reluctantly allies with a loathsome king to find the Holy Grail before the Lord dies or the relic falls into the hands of evil sorcerers. #Q #RF #F #A #QuestPit

Cover slide to introduce the microtropes that you can expect to see in "Covenant of the Damned," a 119k romantic fantasy that is now querying. The background is an ethereal oil painting

the microtropes listed are: reluctant allies, only one horse, he's been thirty for the last 230 years, elemental-based magic systems, lady knights, she's the chosen one, and he tends to her wounds. There's an icon of a computer cursor hovering over a box that says "select all," to indicate that all microtropes are present in "Covenant of the Damned"

On this slide there is a painted hand holding a sword and a repetition of the pitch. The image also states that this book is perfect for fans of [Lady] Knights of the Round Table retellings and every Gilmore Girls stan who was rooting for Rory to end up with Jess Mariano.

The Pitch: Nothing can stop Cassie and Malcolm, bona fide workaholics, from pursuing a second, serendipitous chance at love, until a tangled web of money, frenemies, and yarn jeopardizes their best-laid plans and threatens to tear them apart.

What to expect: Rom-Com Antics with Heart & Depth, Second (and third) chances, BIPOC cast of characters, he falls first, but she wants casual, high spice, cafes, clubs, and craft stores, fierce and funny friendships, anti-capitalist propaganda, "what if i just quit my shitty job"

The comps: Kennedy Ryan's can't get enough, Alexis Daria's along came amor, and HBO's insecure

A black adult rom-com of overcaffeinated proportions

White text and image over brown background. Image is of two people holding a disco ball.

Text says: Get it Together - Meet the MCs
She thinks he’s too cool for her, and he thinks she’s too cool for him, and that might make them perfect for each other.

Cassie quit her high-powered job and really wants a craft store.

Cassie loves a good plan, but she certainly didn’t plan to quit her shitty job when her boss screws her over. Determined to leave her corporate baddie phase behind, she devises “The Fun Plan” and swears off dating until she’s figured her life out. Her co-dependent ex was a nightmare, and she can’t have a man throw her off track again.

But when she runs into Malcolm eight years after their one-night stand at his beloved Brooklyn cafe, his willingness to help her out is kind of charming...

(she’s a virgo)

Malcolm owns Brooklyn’s hottest cafe and he really wants her (duh).

Malcolm is shook when Cassie barges into his cafe with a bag full of yarn. Little does she know, he just got an embarrassing lecture from his friends that he’s never beating the workaholic allegations, despite leaving the finance world years ago.

Cassie’s reappearance might be the distraction he needs, and he can show her what she’s been missing. Now if only she didn’t come with a conniving, elitist social circle that could upend everything he’s worked so hard to build...

(he’s a capricorn)

White text and images over black background. Images include pictures of coffee, food, couples, and clubs to represent the energy of brooklyn.

Also features images of artists to listen to: Beyonce, Victoria Monet, Janet Jackson, and Amber Mark.

OUABH X DAUGHTER OF NO WORLDS An orphaned maid races to sea after her bff & a legendary Stone, but a budding romance with the pirate Captain reveals he's tailed by a cruel enemy, and she may have to betray him & her heart before he sacrifices their mission & her bff. #QuestPit #Q #NA #RF

An agent guide for The Siren's Call by Danielle Bradbury and Ashlea P Screaton. A new adult slowburn romantasy.

Pitch: Delphine dreams of adventure, but usually pays for it in bruises. Pirate captain Osian offers an escape to sea, but she won't leave without her best friend, Otto. Her escape seems dead in the water, until Otto is sent with the pirates to pursue a legendary Stone, and she will not be left behind.

Reunited on the waves, Osian and Delphine's spark strengthens. Then a deception within the crew locks a cruel enemy from Osian's past onto their tail, one who will stop at nothing to end his life. While Osian is eager to forget the reward, the pirates want Otto's life if the mission fails.

Delphine must decide whether to trust the man she's falling for, or betray him to save Otto.

Snippet: “Would you? Have regretted it, I mean?”

Their eyes met. Delphine pinned him with her expectant stare, and he worried again whether she could rummage around his mind for the answers she sought.

What could he say? She’d no doubt find him obsessive if he told her the truth – how he’d spent so many waking moments wondering if she remembered their one dance as fondly as he did, when moonlight had clung to her hair and tickled her face as she’d taunted him beneath the stars. How he’d been so relieved to see her on board his ship, in a way he couldn’t put into words.

How he hadn’t managed to get rid of the smell of sugar since meeting her, and didn’t want to.

Would he have regretted her kiss?

“No, Ceraid.” He swallowed, shuffling under the weight of the question. “I could have never regretted it.”

Pumped to pitch ETERNALLY DEAD - my 107k paranormal romantic fantasy that explores what happens when an injured musician gets a second shot at stardom by joining an all-vampire rock band in the dangerous Vampire Realm 🧛‍♂️ 🩸🎸 #questpit #a #f #pr #rf #q #amquerying

Red and black background with red text at the top that reads "the blurb." The text below reads: Celia Sharpe's life-long dream of being a rockstar guitarist ended the day an accident wrecked her hand. Now a New York City concert photographer, she strictly focuses on making deadlines. But when Celia spots a mysterious stranger at a concert she can’t capture on camera, she abandons her job to follow him down an alley—only to be accidentally transported to the Vampire Realm.

Stranded and vulnerable in a world of dangerous monsters, Celia has one goal: return home ASAP. But the stranger she followed reveals that he's the bassist of all-vampire rock band Mortuus Aeternum (Eternally Dead), and he offers her a seductive opportunity: if Celia stays, the band's flirty guitarist Caliban will temporarily heal her hand so she can join Mortuus Aeternum. However, she must perform for audiences of blood-thirsty vampires, of course.

Trapped in the Vampire Realm with no way out, Celia is conflicted: she might be willing to sacrifice her freedom for Caliban's healing magic and a second chance at living her rockstar dreams, but she risks death if she doesn't find a way home. Especially when blood shortages are announced across the Vampire Realm. How will she survive?

Red and black background with a bright red title that reads THE COMPS. Below are four book covers and one movie poster that include brief descriptions beside them. The first is Fang Fiction by Kate Stayman-London and it's described as an urban fantasy in a vampire setting. Next is Bride by Ali Hazelwood, described as having a steamy romance and political intrigue. Next is The Serpent and the Wings of Night by Carissa Broadbent, described as having a human fighting to survive in a vampire world. Next is a movie poster for Almost Famous, described as music journalist + rock band = forced proximity. Last is the cover of Daisy Jones and the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid, described as having a rock band with secrets and love triangles. The tropes and vibes section includes the following text: grounded fantasy, found family, diverse characters, plot twists, chronic illness rep, slow burn yearning, and twist on fated mates.

Red and black background with white text snd large red title that reds THE OPENING. Below the title is the opening of the book, which reads: Celia Sharpe slammed her palm against the closed subway doors, trying to pry open the cool metal with sweaty fingertips. The train had finally – finally – made it to the station, and she needed to get off. Now. When the doors opened at long last, she burst through them like a bat out of hell, charging towards the exit.
She couldn't miss the opening of this show, or it might be her last.

Below the opening is the word EXCERPT in large red letters, and below is text in white font. The following excerpt reads:
Caliban knelt beside her and took her hand, her breath hitching at his touch. A warm sensation transferred between his fingertips and her scar, a tingling feeling moving up her whole arm. She pulled back on instinct.
“What did you do?” she trembled, awestruck. The scar had vanished.
“It’s only temporary. Please play,” he said, his green eyes wanting.
The pain was gone. Gone. As if it had never been there at all. Her left hand curved around the guitar neck, hugging the strings. Overcome by the magic of it, Celia grinned.

Mulan x Avatar: The Last Airbender x Fourth Wing A woman rejected by the gods steals her brother’s place in war and manifests forbidden divine power while falling for her lethal commanding officer. SONG OF THE SICKLE Adult romantasy, 118k words #Questpit #Q #A #RF

An Agent's Guide to Song of the Sickle, an adult romantic fantasy, 118k words, First in a planned series. Background picture of wheat field. Big picture of amber ring and smaller picture of incense burning.

The Pitch, with small pictures of a military training camp and an old watchtower covered in moss. What if Mulan had magic, and instead of being rejected as a bride, she was rejected by the gods?

Comp titles include The Jasad Heir by Sara Hashem for hidden identity and forbidden magic, Blood and Steel by Helen Scheuerer for training ground romance, and The Knight and the Moth by Rachel Gillig for weaponized faith system.

the opening lines of the book, beside a picture of a sickle with wheat. Tomorrow the gods would judge me. Tonight, I pretended they didn't exist. I swung the scythe, blade slicing through wheat. My shoulders screamed, but at least the burn was honest. Sweat carved tracks through the chaff dusting my skin, but I kept moving. One more row. One more bundle. Anything to keep my thoughts at bay.

Run. What a powerful instinct.
Emma Bridge had wanted nothing more than to be with her two siblings in a home that felt safe, but those wishes never came true. With nothing left to lose, Emma runs away from the spotlight of the Hills to a small town across the country, but this new home is anything but the safety she’d been after.

The weight of the world has fallen on her shoulders, and she can’t carry it alone. But with her old name in every police station and her new name on every tongue in town, she’s not sure who she can trust to help carry the burden.

What we know:
-Runaway in Hiding
-Fake Identity (turned real identity)
-Mental Health Rep
-Genderfluid and Pan Rep
-Found Family
-90s Small-Town Nostalgia

Happy #QuestPit day! Here's my #agentsguide to THISTLE & BRIAR, a 93k adult romantasy 🦋 “Have you ever accidentally botched a spell that bound you to a fae man who hates your guts? Asking for a friend.” #Q #A #F #R #RF

An agent's guide to Thistle & Briar by R. A. Betzer. "Have you ever accidentally botched a spell that bound you to a fae man who hates your guts? Asking for a friend." 93k words. Editor interest and RevPit shortlist. Adult romantasy.

The Pitch. A dream for freedom, a spell gone wrong, one year to fix it, and the only one who can help her is a hot fae she was accidentally bound to. The problem is he can't stand her. Themes & Tropes. Slow burn. Cranky fae x wild swamp girl. He bites, she wants him to. Wild, cruel faeries. One bed and one elk. Spell gone wrong (they have to do it or she'll die in a year).

Comp Titles: The Knight & the Moth by Rachel Gillig. Aching devotion. The Princess Bride. Playful adventure romance. Swordheart by T. Kingfisher. Banter-driven slow burn. In the Veins of the Drowning by Kalie Cassidy. Lyircal angst.

The Blurb. Dusky Poddock would do anything to be kidnapped by faeries. Unfortunately, the faeries would do anything to send her back. Facing an arranged marriage to a widower twice her age, Dusky attempts (and botches) a spell fueled by the scraps of magic her late mother left behind. Instead of escape, she binds herself to Percy—a surly faery noble determined to expose a traitor, secure his claim as the heir, and protect his younger brother from the brutal politics of faery court. If Dusky cannot win Percy’s favor within a year, the spell will kill her. Eager to stay and eager to survive, Dusky employs herself as Percy’s faithful servant, determined to help his mission succeed. Little does she know, the spell requires her to fulfill Percy’s deepest desire at the time the magic was set in motion: creating an heir of his own. When Dusky learns the truth, she’s far less daunted than she should be at the prospect of sharing a bed with a gorgeous (if infuriatingly surly) faery. Percy, however, wants nothing less. As threats close in and Percy's carefully guarded heart begins to crack, Dusky uncovers corruption woven deep into the faery realm and learns that magic alone may not be enough to undo her mistake. With time running out and dangerous faeries offering false hope, it all comes down to Dusky, Percy, and the spell that binds their clashing hearts.

🌷THE LAST OF SPRING “They will forget about you. Mortal lives are fleeting. They will be dead before you hit a quarter of your life.” His words stung, but mine were the truth I clung to like a shield. “It doesn’t matter. They love me.” “Love does not make someone immortal.” #questpit #Q #A #RF

This is the title page for the book. In the background there is a forest ground with leaves and pick flowers. Slightly off center of the ground is a golden crown. In glowing letters across the crown says THE LAST OF SPRING (book title) above that it was “agents guide to” and below the title it says “this isn’t a fairytale.” At the very bottom of the page it explains the stats of the books “a fantasy romance by Willow James. 110k words- now querying”

The background is the same as the title page (all the pages have the same background). In glowing gold at the top it says “the pitch” and then under in white is the pitch. “ When straight-laced Xylia breaks the rules for the first time, she is thrust into the world of the Fae-betrothed to the prince and heir who claims she is the lost princess to the Spring Court. As he surrounds her with lavish affection and distracting balls, she begins to question everything when she meets his younger brother, who reveals a dangerous truth: the crown belongs to her and spring. Now Xylia must choose between the prince who claims to love her, the throne that is her birthright, and the heart that feels like home.”

All pages have the same background as the first. At the top of this page in glowing gold says “the comps”. There are three comps. Going from left to right. FROM BLOOD AND ASH- under it says the reason why it is a comp: “love triangle between two powerful men, political manipulation, & self discovery over time”. Next, RED QUEEN: “hidden royalty, betrayal, rebellion brewing under controlled society” Last, A COURT OF THORNS AND ROSES: “seasonal courts, magic systems, mortal to fae transition”

All the backgrounds are the same as the first. At the top in gold glowing letters “the opening”. Below in white letters is the first 3 paragraphs from the opening of the book. “I've never had control of my life. Even now, curling the last section of my hair in front of the mirror, a restless pull whispers that I don't belong here. At any moment, the edges could give way, and I'd be drawn into the life I'm meant to have. Something magical. Something that fits better than... this.
As a kid, I used to daydream I was anything but human. A werewolf. An elf. A fairy. In my more dramatic teenage moments, I even considered running away and hoping a vampire would capture me. Being undead would be easier than being inadequate.
I roll my eyes at my reflection and point the curling iron like a wand. "Stop it, Xylia. Rule two of going out—no beginning the night in a bad mood."”

When a teen girl is swept to an underworld ruled by her long-absent father, she must navigate strange magic, a demon friend, and a rival trying to steal her title (and possibly her heart). 💜 Sapphic romance 👑 Secret royalty 💀 Ancient rituals that just might cost your soul #QuestPit #YA #F #Q

Title page: PENELOPE GRAY'S GUIDE TO SURVIVING LOVE AND THE UNDERWORLD.

Pitch: When a teen girl is swept to an underworld ruled by her long-absent father, she must navigate strange magic, a demon friend, and a rival trying to steal her title (and possibly her heart).

Comps: covers of Princess Diaries by Meg Cabot, The Faraway Inn by Sarah Beth Durst, and Coffeeshop in an Alternate Universe by CB Lee.

Excerpt: If you’re reading this, then the secrecy spell Baz gave me was total malarky. (That’s my Grandma Ruth’s favorite word. And no, she absolutely does NOT know about this Underworld stuff.)
Baz, if this IS you: You are so dead. I don’t care that demons can’t die. I WILL find a way.
For any mortals reading this: STOP! Trust me, you have no idea what you’re getting yourself into. Do you really want your entire understanding of reality to be turned upside down? Because that’s exactly what happened to me this summer, and I do NOT recommend it. Go back to your blissfully normal, demon-free life while you can.
