When a mysterious being heralds the apocalypse, there are only two witnesses: Rowan and Darshil, bitter exes who must brave London’s occult underbelly and save the world from eternal darkness, all while grappling with their unresolved feelings. Art by @kidovna.bsky.social #ProfilePit #Q #A #R #F

Art shows a tall and lanky White person. He has straight black hair and an unimpressed expression. He is wearing a black suit, black brocade waistcoat, and black a coat, and is holding a wine glass.

Rowan:
Sarcastic and self-destructive hedonist
Secret softie
Dark past
Fiercely loyal
A massive flirt
Not as cool as he pretends to be
Can walk through and alter people’s dreams

Art shows a short and portly South Asian man. He has chin-length wavy black hair, a short beard, and is smiling softly. He is wearing brown trousers, a white shirt, a green and orange waistcoat, and a brown Ulster coat, and is holding a book of poetry.

Darshil:
Hopeless romantic
Aspiring poet
Definitely Straight (don’t read all his poems about Rowan)
Complex relationship with his father
Maximum yearning
Chronic people pleaser
Repressed gentleman

Art shows a tall and slim Black woman. She has long curly black hair and black eyes, and is smiling warmly. She is wearing a white blouse, black trousers, and suspenders, and stands with her hands in her pockets.

Bernadette:
Optimistic
Terrible at keeping secrets
Encyclopedic knowledge of the occult
Can see ghosts
A great listener
Very lonely
Lives in a graveyard for the vibes

Art shows a plus-sized White woman. She has blonde hair tied up in a bun, and her face is half hidden by the pink feather fan she is holding. She is wearing a pink dress in a late 19th century style with large sleeves and a pattern of flowers.

Cordelia:
Snooty and mean
Regina George energy
Fashionista
Knows everyone’s secrets
The favourite child
Fiercely protective
Can rot things with her touch

White text and images over a brown background. Agent's guide to GET IT TOGETHER. Est. Brooklyn 2026. 88K. Now Querying.

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.

It may be winter in Brooklyn, but Cassie and Malcolm are keeping each other warm.

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 #AgentsGuide

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.

The Comps: Revolve, The Favorite, Off Campus.

Happy #QuestPit afternoon! As the Creature’s countdown accelerates, Nan must find a way to save her friends and escape Rose Bluff Island’s curse before evil’s game reaches its cataclysmic climax. 🌊 ✨THE SEA CURSER✨ a contemporary #speculative novel #Q #A #S #F #amquerying #writingcommunity

Montage of photos from the coast of Maine, with the following text:

A woman’s retreat this time—how absolutely delicious. All those suppressed feelings of guilt, not living up to who they thought they should be. Not living up to their mothers’ expectations of how they choose to live their tiny and insignificant lives. Sisters clasping each other to the bosom in feigned adoration, while stabbing each other with dull and pointless knives.
Do they sense the connections, I wonder? I do. But I’ve orchestrated them, after all. Because this is my chance at redemption. I let one slip away, once before. It will not happen again.
Now, as the inky cusp of darkness chokes twilight’s last claim over the sanctuary that is this island, I lay my pretty little traps while the clock winds down to my fatal finale.
I can already taste their fear.

--The Creature

HEARTLESS HUNTER X SLAVIC FOURTH WING 🎭 She, a humble servant posing as Duchess, is his executioner-to-be. 🐉 He, the arrogant Dragon Prince, must save a kingdom from the encroaching Ever-Dark. 🖤 Neither anticipated falling for the one destined to be their undoing. #questpit #NA #R #F #DF #Q

A gothic-style book cover titled "Root and Ruin." Centered is a glowing, cyan-blue dragon coiled into a circle, its scales etched with faint, runic symbols. Golden, gnarled roots extend downward from the dragon like branching veins against the pitch-black background. Text at the top reads "Enemies to Lovers," "Fated Mates," and "Fake Identity," with "An Agent’s Guide" in the top right. Subtitle reads "80k • NA Slavic Romantasy," and the bottom logline says, "She is sent to kill the dragon. Instead, she might become his only salvation."

A graphic titled "The Comps" in golden lettering. It displays four book covers arranged in a grid: "Heartless Hunter" by Kristen Ciccarelli, "Fourth Wing" by Rebecca Yarros, "Shadow and Bone" by Leigh Bardugo, and "The Witcher: The Last Wish" by Andrzej Sapkowski.

A self-made fantasy illustration showing a halfway transformed, dark-haired man, Prince Konstantin Veliki, with a silver crown and dragon wings. He is carrying a woman, a humble servant Iva, masquerading as a Duchess Zora, in a long, flowing cream-colored gown as they fly through the air. She is his guest but unbeknownst to him, she is plotting to poison him. In the background, a sprawling forest surrounds a magic academy, Kolegium with colorful, traditional Slavic-style onion domes—gold, silver, bronze and green. Each of the domes represents air, water, fire and earth magic respectively. Snippet text at the bottom reads: "Do you always sequester your guests and take flight with them?"

A self-made illustration set in the catacombs under the magic academy, Kolegium, featuring classical-style statues on the walls. Iva, in dark armor, rides a bright, light blue-scaled dragon; it is Prince Konstantin Veliki in his dragon form.
They face off against a monstrous, ethereal shadow dragon composed of wispy, black smoke and glowing eyes — this is Konstantin’s fallen father Tibor Veliki. A brilliant golden sphere of light, relic of the Slavic god of light, Belobog, called Spark of Creation, floats on a pedestal between them. Text at the bottom of the snippet reads: "Let us dance, little one," the Shadow Dragon hisses in a dry whisper of the fallen. "A worthy foe," Konstantin responds. We take to the air to meet the darkness. Two gargantuan winged silhouettes hover in the abyss, suspended in a precarious balance. They mirror one another; two sides of the same coin, champions of Belobog and Chernobog.

When a scandal exiles her to Lucerne, disgraced Olivia Rooney falls for the one man she’s forbidden to love—Théodore Chair-Beaumont, the brooding aristocrat sworn to matrimony with another.
But beneath his restraint lies a wound that mirrors her own. And falling for him could not only repeat the tragedy that broke him once before. It could ruin her reputation, once and for all.

Snippets:

His hunger transcends anything as simple as lust. A perfect replica of my own.
Our appetite goes beyond the physical. What we starve for is not the body, but the soul.
Spirits, which I'm certain, have known each other for millennia—longing and finding one another, again and again against all odds.
Nothing can come between what is immaterial.
Even less so when it is destined
A divine homecoming.
He is the vessel of my existence. The missing half that completes me. There is no him without me. And without him, there is no me.
-
And how do I tell him I'd gladly crawl beneath his armor, inside his clothes and past his skin? Fight myself through sinews and bone, every ligament and essence that makes him him, and live on solely to keep his soul free of any pain?
Caretaker of his soul for eternity.
-
A touch, as soft as a feather.
The dull edges of fingernails.
Deliberate and as exquisitely slow as molasses.
I arch into these luxuries like a cat wanting for more.
Hum at the whispery strokes as they comb through my scalp, down my hair, in pursuit of my jaw and finally my décolleté.
I know it's him.
Scent him like a vampire would sweet blood.

🍺 She makes cider 🍺 💰 He makes money 💰 💦 Things are about to get juicy💦 CIDER SEASON | An upmarket contemporary rom-com. Currently revising as a 2026 #revpit winner. Re-entering the query trenches with a sub-ready manuscript in 6 weeks. #questpit #q #a #r #u

Background: A close up of a glass of cider with foam and carbnation bubbles.

An agent's guide to CIDER SEASON
2026 RevPit Winner
A 75K word upmarket contemporary rom-com

Background: A lake in the mountains.
Pitch and Plot
Two years after a devastating breakup left her jobless, homeless, and heartbroken, Phoebe Skiles has made a name for herself crafting high-end, European-style cider at Appelle. When Elise, Phoebe's best friend and CEO, hires a consulting firm to keep Appelle from shuttering its doors for good, Phoebe finds herself living her worst-case scenario: putting her professional life in the hands of Miles Newport, a finance bro with a toddler's palate. Miles is convinced the only thing that can save Appelle is ‘pivoting’ to a ‘consumer product’ with ‘mass-market commercial appeal’.

Phoebe sets out to save Appelle and discovers that there’s a lot more to Miles than cashmere sweaters and Stylus pens. He's working overtime to bring on a high dollar client to repay his estranged father’s investment and support his best friend's working-class parents. With so much already on the line, what are Phoebe and Miles willing to risk for love?

Background: Apple blossoms
COMPS: Emily Henry's Funny Story, BK Borison's Lovelight Farms, Linda Holmes' Back After This, Sarah Chamberlain's The Slowest Burn
TROPES: Slow burn; found family; rivals-to-lovers; workplace romance; unique setting; small business; big stakes; disastrous meet-cute; witty banter; emtional depth.

Background: A bunch of people reaching forward to cheers with their glasses.
OPENING LINES: Phoebe Skiles sat back on her heels and blew a sweaty curl out of her eye. No matter what she used—elbow grease, power washers, EPA-regulated caustic—the concrete floors never gleamed like she wanted them to.
If she could ask her 17-year-old self to predict where she’d be in ten years, on her knees scrubbing yeast sludge off the floors wouldn’t have cracked the top hundred. Teenaged Phoebe would have chosen something more professional: a custom power suit, a corner office overlooking downtown Seattle, a Brazilian Blowout.
Like most teenagers, Teenage Phoebe was an idiot.
After years of striving to rise above her circumstances, she was much happier in a warehouse than she’d ever been in a cubicle. But every job has its downsides, and the weekly deep clean of the cidery floors was definitely a downside.
A drop of sweat fell from her forehead into the puddled suds between her hands.
Okay. Sometimes she missed the cubicle.

The main photo is a space scene of blue, purple, and pinks. A vortex with a collage of stars spilling out of it. At the top is the tagline that reads: "How far would you travel to discover the truth?" Beneath it is the title: BETWEEN INFINITE VEILS. On the right is: "Dual POV" and "Meet Ugly." Beneath is: "Available in the query trenches NOW." Pitch is in fine print.
