This will be SUCH a beautiful book ...featuring the most unhinged thing I've ever written (affectionate), which I wrote after a bunch of discord jokes spiraled out of control AND while severely sleep deprived

Creating the color-coded outline for my time loop rom com was one of the most satisfying things I've ever done as a writer

Index cards laid out in rows on a countertop. Each row is a different color. The index cards are covered in writing, though it can't be read clearly from the camera's distance.

r/resurrection: I tried to summon my unalived brother’s spirit but now I’m stuck with the bratty crown prince of our rival kingdom 😫 what do I do?? #YA #F #R #OS #AG #UnhingedPit

A meme with four images. The first is a piece of paper that says “Resurrecting people is heathen behavior”. The next is SpongeBob looking at the paper. The last two are SpongeBob throwing it into a fire while smiling.

A couple is making out. They’re labeled the MC and the newly resurrected love interest. The second image zooms out to show a person standing by awkwardly, labeled the MC’s brother who was m*rdered for the inciting incident

“My brother was k!lled” = panic
“I worship the Goddess of Justice, she’ll handle it” = calm
“The Goddess refuses to launch an investigation” = panic

THE FIFTH ELEMENT x HOT FUZZ w Eleanor Shellstrop After a job gone wrong, data thief Enmity and space cop Mirek end up handcuffed together, at the center of a political coup, and on the run from space thugs, disco-dancing assassins...and catching feelings for one another. #QuestPit #Q #A #SF #R

Eight images total. First column, three images, top to bottom: the planet Jupiter, a colourful alleyway with wet pavement and purple and blue lighting, a spaceship flying across the sky with a red trail. Second column, two images, top to bottom: a M/F couple kissing under red light, the words “We can be heroes just for one day” in neon yellow lights. Third column, three images, top to bottom: two disco balls hanging from ceiling, a ringed planet in purple and blue neon lights, a couple in space suits holding hands on a rocky terrain.

FAKE PSYCHIC x REAL PSYCHIC @ the beach: On sub! 🎲 A D&D nerd who can’t catch a break 🎸 A grumpy musician who needs a day job ✨ Fake fortunes & real psychometry 🔮 (Crystal) ball jokes 🕯️ Wait that candle’s for what 💖 Big rom AND com #QuestPit #OS #AG #A #R

It's in the Cards is a queer rom-com with light speculative elements, perfect for fans of romances with just a touch of magic, like New Adult and One Last Stop.

Elliott: When a rent hike threatens to price Elliott out of their apartment, they scramble to bring in more cash - specifically, by offering tarot readings at the metaphysical shop they manage. They've spent plenty of time playing roleplaying games. Playing the role of a psychic reader should be just as easy...right?

A photo collage shows dice, a person giving finger guns, and tarot cards fanned out on a table.

Adrian: Adrian Reyes has psychic abilities - when he touches an object, he learns about it and others who've interacted with it. After years of feeling alone, he's finally met another psychic, one who conveniently offers him a job right when he needs one.

A photo collage shows a close-up of a hand, a person playing guitar, and a partially melted candle.

Food photographer Francesca won't be falling for her client TYVM. Sure, Luca's a legit snack, but he’s also in a celeb couple the whole world adores. Feelings boil over; Luca admits it’s a fauxmance. Too bad undoing a fake dating contract is much more trouble than setting one up. #questpit #q #r

To drum up business, fake psychic Elliott offers REAL psychic Adrian a job at their metaphysical shop. But to keep Adrian employed, Elliott must keep up the ruse that their abilities are real - and avoid falling for his dry sense of humor or pretty smile. #questpit #OS #AG #A #R

A photo collage that shows a "psychic advisor" sign in a shop window, a person adjusting another person's tie, a person running their finger across another person's palm, a person touching a tarot card face-up on a table, and a beach boardwalk.

A Southern inheritance is always dark—whether it's a penchant for pills, a blood-soaked family farm, or an ancient magic. Sierra spurns them all, but when her dad disappears, she must choose which monsters to slay, and which to become. #QuestPit #YA #H #T

This is a moodboard of orange and green images with a spooky, woodsy vibe including a hand with a vine, and deer at night, an eye reflecting fire, a set of pill bottles, top surgery scars with a barbed wire tattoo, and a black woman covered in ivy
