Mad and Em were once fated mates. Now they’re blood-cursed enemies desperate to escape each other. When they’re both hired as interns to edit tampered spellbooks, they discover someone is trying to reignite the Cold War—and making them enemies was first step one. #posterpit #w #f #r #na

A collage-style promotional graphic for Blood Cursed & Book Bound. The title appears in large purple serif text at the top, with “WIP by Cayse M. Harum-Shultz” in teal beneath it. Black-and-white cutout photos of multiple young adults—men and women with varied styles and expressions—are arranged around the edges, with two color portraits anchoring the bottom corners. Over the center, highlighted strips of color display the tagline: “They were fated to save the world.” and “She cursed him instead.” Smaller text lists genre elements: “NA ‘cozy’ romantasy,” “fae Cold War,” “forced proximity,” and “fake dating.” At the bottom, a paragraph-length pitch summarizes the story about two former fated mates turned blood-cursed enemies who must work together as interns correcting tampered spellbooks while uncovering a plot to reignite a Cold War.

One dead Dad. One wrongfully Asylum-ed Mom. A life forced into servitude & solitude by social-ladder-climbing extended family. And an inherited power—suppressed for years—about to hit a tipping point. #YA / #NA #F #posterpit #q

A dark, atmospheric book cover for The Copper Canary: Legacy of Dust, Book One. The right half shows a close-up of a young woman’s face with pale skin, a piercing blue eye, and smudged, soot-like markings across her cheek. She wears steampunk-style goggles on her head. The background is deep blue with scattered golden dust-like particles. The title appears in large stylized lettering across the top and center. On the left side, a tagline reads: “When legacy grips you from the grave, do you let it anchor you or do you dig deep and rip out the tethers?” Along the bottom are decorative laurel icons with labels including “Upper YA,” “Crossover,” “78K Words,” and “Sequel Done.”

2 newly graduated teens who were once fated mates are now blood-cursed enemies & desperate to escape each other. But when they’re both hired as interns to edit tampered spellbooks, they discover someone is trying to reigniting the Cold War & making them enemies was the 1st step. #posterpit #w #f #r

A stylized book mockup for Blood Cursed & Book Bound. The title appears in bold black serif text at the top, with the tagline in pink: “They were fated to save the world.” A young woman with long dark hair, tattoos on both arms, and red sunglasses stands centered with hands on her hips, wearing an oversized dark shirt that reads, “She cursed him instead.” Faint typewritten text fills the background. In the lower left corner, smaller text lists genre elements: “NA ‘cozy’ romantasy, forced proximity, fae Cold War, fake dating, WIP.”

That thing when you have to cut and/or rework a scene entirely—so you do—but then you can’t do a word count progress update until you’ve more than made up the difference 😂 #writingcommunity #BloodCursedBookBound #WIP

A stylized writing progress graphic for a novel titled Blood Cursed & Book Bound. On the left is a dark, ornate book cover with the title in large neon-style lettering. Surrounding it are grayscale character images arranged collage-style. On the right, a grid of yellow sticky notes represents word count milestones; earlier milestones are crossed out, while later ones (34K–80K) remain uncrossed. A handwritten note reads, “Interns should NEVER edit spellbooks. Especially not sentient ones, Sharon. — Gnewble.” At the bottom, two progress bars show drafting progress: “First Draft (62K) – 51.8%” and “Second Draft (80K) – 40.1%”

Em & Mad were fated to wed long before birth & doomed the moment she blood-cursed him at age 8. Now, their ill-advised reunion as lit agency interns brings them red-pen to page with the prophetic book that ruined their lives—and it has a bone to pick with them. #amwriting #cozy

Agents with Similar Tastes
This report shows other agents who have shown interest in the same queries as this agent.
Which means, if this agent requested material from you, then these other agents may also be interested.

Finally unpacking the carry on I took w/ me the last time I saw my Mom alive. At the bottom I found these condiment packets from stops I made on the long drives there & back. This “just in case” habit came from her. My incurable need for spice, salt, & vinegar? Also her ❤️ #fuckcancer #grief #mom

Scattered, crumpled, condiment packets of sriracha, mustard, cholula, and salt lay on a gray microfiber blanket which has a patterned design made by grooves in the fibers that form arcs—akin to intersecting ocean waves.

A BlueSky post from user pounceswithwolves states:

Is it bad that my greatest literary wins are:
• helping Barbara Kingsolver get rid of a moot on BlueSky
• being Charlie N. Holmberg's personal trainer the year she signed her agent
• & making Gail Carriger lol in her comments twice?

I got some sibling banter for you for today’s #WIPSnips word “trend.” I went with “tendency” since my current WIPs are bereft of trend. Which is, coincidentally, a historically accurate description of my WIGs - “writing in general” 🙃 Snip is from Chapter 2 (draft 2) of #PollyOllyOxenFree

People have a tendency to misinterpret Tibbs. Most people think he is excessive, dramatic, erratic, or just "a lot." Which, in all fairness isn't an inaccurate way to describe him. What people don't get though is that all of those things are just him.
Like, here, imagine you are at the beach, okay? And all the people there are complaining that the ocean is too full of unpredictable waves. How would you feel?
You'd be like, "Yeah. No shit, Sherlock. It's the freakin' ocean." Because expecting anything else is insane. Oh, and by the way?
Once us ignorant human-people finally understood and accepted that we weren't going to stop said-ocean from having waves whenever and however it wanted? We figured out how to navigate its "unpredictability" just fine. Hell, we even learned how to surf on it.
Same applies to Tibbs.
He is who he is. If you understand him, you can gauge his moods with decent accuracy. Even when his waves of excessive or dramatic are about to roll in. And when they do, it doesn't make sense to describe him as acting "excessive" or to complain about him being "too dramatic" because new flash; he isn't doing it by choice. He's just being him.
That said
As much as I love Tibbs, as much I understand him, I personally have zero tolerance for him choosing to crash his anxious waves all over me when he could go do it literally anywhere else. I may be a sitting duck in this stupid body cast, but I am not and never will be a goddamn doormat.
"Nope. You're moody." I point to the door. "Out of my room. Go run laps or something."
Tibbs spins around on his heels and collapses on to the floor cross-legged with another pathetic whine "I caaa-aa-aaaan't!"
"Whhhyy-ii-iii?" I mimic back, adjusting my leg harness from where his disingenuous affection had ruffled the straps.

You know you are from the #PNW when you go to hike at Crater Lake and it starts plop-raining, complete with thunder and lightning, and your reaction is excitement because the trail will be empty.
