Sapphic DON'T LET THE FOREST IN x WHEN DEVILS SING 16-y/o Noa must stop the monster in her eerie New England hometown – even if it’s herself. Because every time someone disappears in Shiloh, she dreams of their brutal murder at her own hands first. 🦴🦋🌲🌊👁️🔍 #DVPit #YA #OWN #LGBT #H #AgentsGuide

one of my biggest, silliest writing tips for my fellow hyper-critical perfectionists is to write in fonts that DO NOT LOOK LIKE A BOOK. I'm currently editing/rewriting in Arial. Then, when I finish a draft, I change it into Times New Roman before reading, and it actually LOOKS like a book!!

PITCH

[BREAKING NEWS]: BROKE PHD STUDENT FAKES DEATH AND STEALS IDENTITY OF BILLIONAIRE TECH HEIRESS. TOO BAD HER GENIUS RIVAL IS ONTO HER & IS OBSESSED WITH EXPOSING HER NEW SKIN

the opulence of CRAZY RICH ASIANS x the otherworldly, futuristic atmosphere of LOCAL HEAVENS x the socio-satirical tone of THE IMMORTAL KING RAO

set in a floating city inspired by tech havens in Silicon Valley and East/Southeast Asia

Background: an Asian City with a blue filter

$TEXT: FIRST PAGE It’s a beautiful night to die. The lights of Chang’E City shine over the water, glinting like shattered glass. From her position on the watchtower, Fay Soon can see everything. Her eyes turn, trying to stay cool as they scan the sprawling streets, the steel towers, the crystalline lights that weave through the metropolis like veins. It’s almost commendable how hard she’s trying to maintain her composure. As if this is still an equation that can be solved, rudimentary as the mathematical problems she learnt in elementary school: if 4x = 16, find x. But if things were so simple she wouldn’t be standing here, body tautened like a coiled wire. Her heart wouldn’t be beating hard enough to fracture her ribs. And on her right, wouldn’t lie the endless, insurmountable drop of the edge. @thelialao Background: A silhouette of a woman looking at a wall of holograms$

Surprise! You didn’t think I’d have just the one book coming out in 2025, did you? Disney asked me to write a follow-up to TANGLED—a horrible decision, really—and as I dearly love that movie, how could I say no? (It may have also given me the chance to put “Give that horse a sword” in a book.)

Screenshot from publishers marketplace that reads: “Margaret Owen's ROOTBOUND, set a month after the events of Tangled, in which the rookie princess Rapunzel and her rogue-turned-suitor Eugene are pulled into a high-stakes diplomatic mission to a mysterious kingdom, where they must uncover the secrets of the royal family, Rapunzel's lost magic, and Eugene's past in order get back home, to Flannery Wiest at Disney-Hyperion, with Hali Baumstein editing, by Victoria Marini at High Line Literary Collective.” Has a fancy decorative border against a blue/purple background with faint gold celestial charts!
