THE LOVE OF MY AFTERLIFE x CHARMED 🔮 When a tarot reader loses sight of her purpose, she’s taken on a Fool’s Journey by her spirit guides to challenge her selfish ways and finally see the otherworldly connection with her (very platonic) best friend💜 #QuestPit #A #R #PR #S #W

Purple/pink ombre zodiac background with gold at the top. Small golden page break, with the book title in ombre yellow/orange DEATH TO THE LOVERS AND THE FOOL over top of clouds in the middle. Text under the title: 79k Speculative Romcom by Brittney Joan, Agent's Guide. Two deep plum tarot cards in the bottom left, one with a sun and one with an eye.

Purple/pink ombre zodiac background with gold along the sides. THE PITCH at the top of the page in ombre yellow/orange text. Golden page break. One-paragraph pitch in a sans-serif font: Jade Lockwood is the Midwest’s most in-demand tarot reader, with a months-long waitlist and a reputation for channeling both the cards and the dead. She’s built a thriving business at Lunar Locke, but she’s also emotionally checked out, allergic to commitment, and quietly in love with her best friend, Elliot. When she blows off an unscheduled, desperate client for margaritas, a woman shows up the next day and refuses to leave until Jade reads for her—only to reveal herself as Jade’s spirit guide. Her ultimatum: complete a series of increasingly personal tasks to realign with her purpose or lose her gift.

As the lessons force Jade to confront the feelings she’s avoided for years, she’s faced with an impossible choice—her connection to the spirit realm or the person she loves.

Purple/pink ombre zodiac background with gold along the sides. THE VIBES at the top of the page in ombre yellow/orange text. Two polaroid images of the TV shows “Charmed” and “Sabrina the Teenaged Witch” as comparative media at the top. Golden page break. Four crystal balls in the middle with star circles pointing to a specific comparative book title with the image. The first, Friends to Lovers, pointing to “This Spells Love” by Kate Robb. The second, Meddling Spirit Guides, pointing to “The Love of My Afterlife” by Kirsty Greenwood. The third, Raw Look at Grief, pointing to “The Seven Year Slip” by Ashley Poston. The fourth, Plus-Size FMC, pointing to “Zom Rom Com” by Olivia Dade.

Purple/pink ombre zodiac background with gold along the sides and bottom. THE OPENING PAGE at the top of the page in ombre yellow/orange text. Two deep plum tarot cards in the top corners, one with a sun and one with an eye. Golden page break. Then, the following text in Times New Roman inside of a white-colored, rounded-corner box: Death is staring at me.
Rather, the Death card is staring at me. It’s the third time this reading it’s come up for my regular, Macie. She’s been on a journey of rebirth for a while and is at the precipice.
I arrange the cards, taking in Death, The Tower, Eight of Pentacles in reverse. When I shift the spread, the navy celestial tablecloth snags on my nail, toppling over the labradorite curvy goddess carving. Biting my cheek, I flip another card. Five of Swords. Shit.
“What? What’s wrong? Why are you making that face? That’s never a good face,” Macie rambles. Her round, hazel eyes are filled with what I’ve come to know as anticipatory terror.
Poor thing is an anxious wreck. I’m trying to guide her, not send her into a doom spiral about her life. “You know these cards aren't omens or premonitions. They’re pillars of guidance, leading you along your path. This card…” I sigh, cracking my knuckles, rings scraping against my dry skin. I have got to restock my lotion. Eleven minutes left on the timer and twenty to my last client. Maybe I’ll stop by Sephora before dinner.
“Jade?”
Oh, right. The reading. I shake my head. “The Death card—”
“Death? Please, no. Anything but Death.”
“The Death card,” I repeat, “means your cycle is ready to renew. Paired with The Tower? Well, it’s time. Your spirit guides aren’t waiting for you to feel ready—they’re pushing you over the edge. This is rock bottom. Know that what’s on the other side is a brighter version of you.” [sample continues]

When a shared injury reluctantly brings a champion figure skater and NHL-bound hockey player together, they must decide if their love for the ice outweighs their resentment for each other. Welcome to SIX MINUTES 🏒⛸️❤️‍🔥 #QuestPit #R #A #Q

An Agents Guide To SIX MINUTES (photo of figure skater and hockey puck).

The Pitch: When a shared injury reluctantly brings a champion figure skater and NHL-bound hockey player together, they must decide if their love for the ice outweighs their resentment for each other.

The Comp Titles: Revolve, The Favorites, and Off Campus (2026). Tropes include: Dual POV, deal trope, rivals-to-lovers, found family, forced proximity, and “take off that jersey.”

The Blurb: Parker Knight and Barret Keats share two things—their love for the ice and an injury that’s jeopardized both of their futures. Determined to compete in her senior year before leaving her grueling coach and hometown forever, Parker strikes up a deal that could make or break both their careers: he helps her get back on the ice, and she pulls strings to give him one last shot at the NHL. Consumed by the idea of making it pro, Barret finds himself not only fixated on HOCKEY, but the girl that holds his future in her hands. As the season begins, Parker must decide if her passion for the ice, and her feelings for Barret, outweighs her need to leave it all behind.

A plus-size baddie dog sits to survive after her ex leaves her—then she meets a guy in the personal care aisle who’s everything her ex wasn’t: loyal, patient & in desperate need of a dog sitter…which might just ruin her plan to swear off love forever 🐾🌿 #QuestPit #A #R #Q

Agent's Guide cover page for GOOD BOYS ONLY, an 89,000-word adult plus-size rom-com. Green background with Sydney & Owen (the main character's names) alternating. Stock images of a plus-sized girl and a tattooed man. Polaroids of tattooed hand holding, a Red Wings hockey game, and a Corgi + Golden Retriever.

GOOD BOYS ONLY pitch: 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 grapples with falling for the man keeping her financially afloat 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. On a split green background of sage green and light green. Two stock images of a tattooed man and a plus-sized woman. Paw print & sage leaf sprig emojis.

First page and comps from GOOD BOYS ONLY. Comp titles include Well, Actually by Mazey Eddings, You, With a View by Jessica Joyce, The Re-Do List by Denise Williams, Young & Hungry TV show. Sample text: Much like my life, my apartment is going up in smoke.
I choke on the black cloud billowing from the oven. My gourmet dino nuggets have turned to fossils. “Oh, fuck me,” I groan.
Lava-like heat bites through my oven mitt, and I drop the sheet pan on the stovetop. Shrill barks echo in tandem with the smoke alarm that’s now going off, piercing my ears like it’s in surround sound, live from Hell. Lovely.
“Piper, Phoebe, get back! I’m trying to save you.” I shoo the orange Pomeranians away from the radiating heat. Dog sitting was supposed to be an easy way to get out of this shithole apartment, not burn it down. Even if I dream about lighting it up most days.
But the aggressive “Past Due” rent letter taped to my door this morning is on the counter, taunting me, like some sick adult version of a haunted house. “Thanks, Devin,” I spit into the ether, as if he can hear me from Chicago. And a big thanks to me, too, for treating my credit cards like Monopoly money.
Flicking on the exhaust fan to clear my galley kitchen, I take a misguided deep breath, and the cremated dinosaurs send me into another coughing fit. In a fight for my life, I snag my Getting Figgy With It towel off of the oven door and wave it pathetically below the alarm.
After a couple of minutes and more pathetic towel waving, the fog clears and the chirping stops. But the dogs are still barking. Though, to be fair, I don’t think they’ve stopped barking all weekend.
While fishing out the scraps of remaining treats from the girls’ travel bag, they hit my calves like starving, vicious dust bunnies. I blew through their supply in an attempt to Pavlov them into loving me. All it did was condition them to misbehave and still demand treats. [sample continues]

Tropes & The Couple. Book tropes: black cat x golden retriever, strangers 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... Stock images of the main characters: Sydney Sage Bennett (plus-sized woman) and Owen James Sutton (tattooed man). Sydney's info: 30, Aquarius, Retail Ops Manager, Empathetic. Competitive. Amazing cook. Loves hockey. Sarcasm as a shield. Pilates girlie. Brunch is her love language. Poor spending habits. Younger sister. Sworn off relationships to focus on herself. Owen's info: 31, Cancer, National Events Manager. Patient and loyal. Flirty. Loves hockey. Bottles everything up. Former company co-founder. Amazing dog dad. Acts of service. Takes care of his elderly neighbor. Older brother. Prone to emotional spill-overs.

SAINTBORN | 93k | FANTASY ROMANCE AVATAR x SHADOWHUNTERS In a world where the Saints are the source of all magic and power, a powerless thief discovers she is the heir to a Saint that shouldn't exist—and becomes the truth an empire will destroy to protect. #Q #RF #QuestPit

Dark fantasy graphic featuring a stone angel statue with wings and a halo holding a spear, layered over a textured black background with a cream paint stroke. Large gold serif text reads “SAINTBORN.”

Fantasy novel synopsis graphic with gold serif title text reading “THE PITCH” over a dark floral and marble statue background. White text reads: When magicless thief Aurenna Taerwyn steals a relic from the capital’s most secure vault, she triggers a forbidden power, and sparks a vision of a massacre. The Saints the empire worships didn’t ascend; they were murdered in an empire-sanctioned genocide. Now, as an ambitious Magistrate moves to bury the secret, Aurenna discovers she’s not just holding a truth—she’s found the genocide’s only survivor. To liberate him, Aurenna must master the chaotic magic she was never meant to have and decide if she’s willing to burn down an empire to do what's right, even if she burns with it. Highlighted phrases include “forbidden power” and “sanctioned genocide.” "Burns with it" is circled. Atmospheric dark fantasy vibe.

Fantasy book comparison graphic titled “THE COMPS” in large gold serif lettering. Two fantasy novels are displayed against a glowing cathedral-like background: The Second Death of Locke by V.L. Bovalino and Godkiller by Hannah Kaner.
