A SONG OF SILVER & SCARLET The prince he’s forbidden to love. The healer she’ll sacrifice anything to save. The curse that might end them all. 🗡 Reluctant assassins ⚔️ Dual POV ✨ Dangerous magic 🏳️‍🌈 All queer cast 💜 Gay panic 👀 Plot twists for days ❤️ Just kiss already! #QuestPit #Q #YA #F #LGBTQ

A 5x5 grid of squares. Taken together, the five of these 25 squares with text read: “He is no Romeo. She is no Juliet. And this is no love story. This is war.”

Along the bottom are five comp titles:
1. The Sunbearer Trials by Aiden Thomas
2. Until We Shatter by Kate Dylan
3. Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo
4. So Let Them Burn by Kamilah Cold
5. So This Is Ever After by F.T. Lukens

The squares with photos suggest a fantasy novel set in medieval times, featuring a dual POV. The FMC has magic in her veins, and is forced to take up arms to save the woman she loves. The MMC is best friends with his nation’s prince, and the beginning of love blossoms between them. Meanwhile, his little sister is ill, and he must do what it takes to save her. Both swords and assassins are featured prominently.

Editor’s Guide to Extra Innings
Queer, Second Chance Romance
Going on submission soon!
85,000 Words

An anxious high school English teacher is forced to mentor the new teacher/varsity baseball coach, who just happens to be his ex-best friend and first love.Old feelings resurface fast, blurring the lines between classroom, dugout, and a second chance neither of them is sure they deserve.

Owen Hart copes with anxiety through rules, routines, and the predictable rhythm of his life as a high school English teacher in the small town he grew up. So when his former best friend—and first love—Matt Beckett comes back to town after a career-ending baseball injury, Owen has no interest in reopening old wounds.

Matt was the golden boy with MLB dreams. Now he’s back home, stepping into the role as the varsity baseball coach and long term substitute teacher. When the principal assigns Owen as his instructional mentor, Matt has no choice but to accept help from the one person he never truly got over.

What starts as classroom support quickly spills onto the field. Owen starts helping with the team, until their lives are tangled together from first period to the final inning. And being around each other again makes one thing impossible to ignore: whatever they had ten years ago never faded. A rushed and heady locker room hook up turns into an off campus high heat situationship they aren’t ready to label.

But Owen can’t risk loving someone who might leave again, and Matt doesn’t think he deserves a second chance. Still, no matter how hard they try to keep their distance, they keep getting pulled back in—on the field, in the classroom, and everywhere in between.

To have a future, Owen must confront his fear of abandonment, while Matt has to decide if coming home is just a detour—or the place he’s finally ready to stay.
The Pitch

Welcome to Rollins, CA
A small northern California town held together by local businesses, nosy neighbors, and a shift toward acceptance.

Where Extra Innings fits in the Market
The "High-Stakes" Sports Romance

See You at the Finish Line (Zac Hammett): Fans of Hammett’s sharp, teammate-to-lovers tension will find that same magnetic pull between Matt and Owen as they navigate a shared past that won't stay buried.

Diamond Ring (K.D. Casey): Appeals to readers who crave the authentic, gritty reality of post-professional sports and the long, high-stakes road to reconciliation.
The "Deep-Heart" Small Town Romance

Honey Bee Mine (Sarah T. Dubb): Captures the "everybody knows your business" atmosphere of Rollins, appealing to readers who love a setting that acts as both a safe harbor and an antagonist.

Teacher of the Year (M.A. Wardell): Matches the warm, earnest, and deeply human voice of the English teacher protagonist, grounding the romance in the complexities of professional life and public perception.

Lark is at rock bottom. Betrayed, career in ruins, lying to everyone she loves… and the holiday market she’s working keeps running her into a man who smiles like he’s never met a problem. 🎄holiday romance 🔥 slow burn 🤫 secrets 😒🤠 grumpy/sunshine 🏘 small town 🌶reluctant chemistry #QuestPit #w #a #r

Mood board for Sage owen’s untitled Christmas romance novel. Includes a dark haired woman, a man in a cowboy hat, snowy small town countryside scenes, a holiday market, a piano and acoustic guitar, a woman cuddling a golden retriever, and a close up of a man and a woman’a hands loosely entwined.

Photo of an excerpt from sage owen’s untitled holiday romance WIP. Text reads:

The enormity washed over her again. Lark pressed palms to her
face. "What did you do, Neil?"
"I just told a reporter friend-under condition of anonymity," he winked like that should fucking matter, "—that there was a story there!
There's no way it'll come back to you."
"It already has! I got a call from Marshall promising me legal action
for breaking my NDA!"
"But you didn't do it." He sounded smug, like he'd found a magic
loophole.
"Guess what! If my boyfriend knew it, then I obviously did break my NDA!" which was frustrating because she'd never told Neil or anyone else, but he was smart enough to realize songs he'd heard her practicing in the apartment eventually became international hits over the last year, and she'd been singing them before the album came out.
The problem wasn't that she thought he wouldn't notice. The problem was she'd thought he loved her enough to keep his mouth shut.
The problem was she'd been stupid and trusting.

HELP! I'm pretending to be my sister at a summer wilderness internship. But her rival is SO HOT and I kind of want to kiss them. (It's giving Simon Snow v. Baz) #QuestPit #NA #R #OS

Alice lunged forward with a splash. “You don’t get to act like this isn’t confusing! One second you hate me—”

“I do hate you.”

“You helped me today.”

“I regretted it instantly.”

“You looked at my mouth!”
