When fairytale creatures escape into reality, an orphan w/ trust issues must rely on 2 ppl who know the original story: his privileged ex-bf & a girl who bleeds ink. If they can’t get ahead of the plot, they’ll be trapped forever in a world of monsters. #QueerPit #YA #NA #DF
Three images: a boy in water, a book burning, and lighting with the words “she was as real as paper” written across.

Selwyn rarely accepts help. The orphan knows people are undependable, but as soul-eating creatures attack his town & time freezes, he must lean upon the mayor's son (his ex) & a paper-made girl who bleeds ink in order to save all he loves & himself. #QueerPit #YA #DF #NA
A mood board of deep forests, burning books, and people lost in them with the quote: “dreams aren’t nothing. Desires aren’t pointless. choice is what makes us human and alive.”

While filming a doc on the era’s most iconic actress, a producer inherits archive footage and must reconcile contradictions between it and her interviews to find the truth about the star’s untimely death—before her own dark past destroys all she’s worked for. #QueerPit #Q #A #T
A collage of images including a bloody fingerprint, a red carpet, a girl in a bathtub; an infinity pool overlooking the ocean, a living room, a starlet on the red carpet.

18yo Selwyn collides w/ an eerily familiar girl made of paper who bleeds ink. Now a story is cut loose; & they must outrun the plot before it devours them. 🏳️‍🌈bi4bi 🧑‍🧑‍🧒‍🧒found family 🩼disability rep 💗slow burn 🪾dark forests 🕷️nightmare monsters ☀️summer vibes #QueerPit #YA #DF #NA
A mood board for the book Blood Like Ink. It depicts forests, people within them, and ink splattered across the image while the words “I am wood. I am rot. I am, I am, I am. Tree. Leaf. Root. “You’re real to me.” Real to who? Tree. Leaf. Root.” Is printed across the image.

Do NOT come on here marketing self-pub, I'm not interested and I will block you ☺️ I know how to self-pub if that's what I wanted to do 🧵9/9

Aspen Andersen @aspenandersen.bsky.social · 09/08/2025
I just want a consistent author career. It’s my passion. It’s my dream. And this industry requires I have an agent to accomplish that. I’m seeing so many unicorns and so many authors whose agents stick with them through thick and thin, and in the end that’s all I want. I want a partner. 🧵8/

Aspen Andersen @aspenandersen.bsky.social · 09/08/2025
All that to say, I have so many fulls out right now and yet I can’t allow myself to get excited. This manuscript already has 10x more interest than my debut ever got, but I’m not optimistic. I’m tired. 🧵7/

Aspen Andersen @aspenandersen.bsky.social · 09/08/2025
And you can’t help but wonder if all the agent sees is, “Hi. No agent wanted my debut. But please look past that and evaluate this new book without judging me for having debuted with a small press.” 🧵6/

Aspen Andersen @aspenandersen.bsky.social · 09/08/2025
And yet, “Hi, no agent wanted to rep my debut but a small press wanted to publish it, but now I’m querying you because I want to scale my author career. I promise I’m a great writer.” 🧵5/

Aspen Andersen @aspenandersen.bsky.social · 09/08/2025
But also, “Hey, I got screwed by market timing last time because now there are all these time travel-esque novels coming out but I’m totally not bitter.” 🧵4/

Aspen Andersen @aspenandersen.bsky.social · 09/08/2025
And then, “So look at this shiny new novel I’m bringing to you, having already gone through the trad pub process once, with all the experience and knowledge I’ve gained from that. I’m a dream client.” 🧵3/

Aspen Andersen @aspenandersen.bsky.social · 09/08/2025
It’s like saying, “Hi there! Look how accomplished I am. Yes, the market was allergic to time travel the last time I was in the trenches, so no agent wanted it, but it has amazing trade reviews!” 🧵2/

Aspen Andersen @aspenandersen.bsky.social · 11/04/2025
I keep hearing this too. If your work is too polished, it won’t get chosen. Makes me wonder if these manuscripts that made it onto multiple shortlists or made it to all three editors’ top three are either too good to win or if there’s like a common thread among the editors’ editorial visions.

"Fuck me, Troy." “That’s a bit inappropriate, Dave, considering the situation.” #1stlinepit #A co(s)mic #Horror #WIP Query ready this summer at approx. 75k words!
moodboard layout with 9 squares 3 x 3, 6 have over the top terrified men (the dads), along the top and bottom 3 squares. Blood decal drips from top squares through the middle to the bottom ones. A Victorian mansion silhouette sits in the middle most left square, the title DAD BODIES in the middle, and right of that is the silhouette of a d20 with a skull icon showing.DAD BODIES on top of a black d20, black background. To the right, PITCH & COMPS, CABIN IN THE WOODS X JOHN DIES AT THE END X KNIVES OUT, when their detective friend is murdered during annual gaming retreat, 5 dads nust use their years of ttrpg experience—and puns—to solve the crime before they're all killed off like npcs in a badly-written campaign."Fuck me, Troy."
“That’s a bit inappropriate, Dave, considering the situation.”
Dave averted his gaze from the bloodied corpse of their friend to face him.
“Really, Troy? Now?”
Troy shrugged. “Marv would’ve laughed.” The grin on his face faltered. Marv was lying in a pool of his own blood. The cause of death was clear, the hilt of the murder weapon protruding from his back. Since Marv was stiff as a board—not much different from his current state—they could rule out suicide. Marv was also more inclined to stab others in the back instead of himself.
DAD FRIENDS, HORROR AND MYSTERY, DARK HUMOR, SECLUDED MANOR, TTROG ELEMENTS, DARK AND STORMY NIGHT.

3 SQUARES next to each other. Firat contains silhouette of an old mansion, middle has TITLE DAD BODIES, thirs has a skull on a d20

Being summoned by Vanessa Vine was a privilege most witches would gouge their neighbor’s eye for. Since Brisa received the official summons five days ago, there was no excitement, only the type of anxiety that sows its seeds into the folds of your brain. #1stlinepit #WIP #F #R #H

"Sapina was done acting like a lady." #1stLinePit #RF #NA #A #C #Q #amquerying #romantasy #writingcommunity #agentsguide #writersky #booksky
Heir of Night Pitch: A princess disguised as a man competes for her stolen throne to defeat a demon possessing the dynasty of kings, while fighting against monsters, societal conventions, and her own growing feelings for a competitor.Heir of Night Blurb: When the brutal assassination of the king leaves Karop without a male heir to the throne, his daughter steps up to take her place as the nocturnal desert nation’s first ruling queen. But Sapina’s fiancé and his ambitious father betray her and propose a contest to choose a new king, leaving her to marry the winner and continue the bloodline: Powerless. Tame. A good little consort.



Filled with righteous indignation, she disguises herself as a man to compete. Her ruse works until she meets Howen, a fellow contestant whose disarming banter and charm pit her desire to win against her longing for true connection. Too bad she isn’t the only one in this competition who isn’t what they seem.



As the trials begin, a long-forgotten magic manifests, plunging the contestants into a mystery they never anticipated. Sapina uncovers a suppressed history, a possessed dynasty, and an immortal war that threatens her kingdom even more than human prejudice. Can Sapina lean on her small band of allies to save it, or is it better to trust her enemies?HEIR OF NIGHT Comp Titles:
A Song of Wraiths and Ruin series (Roseanne A. Brown)
We Hunt the Flame series (Hafsah Faizal)
