In my experience there are three kinds of fantasy magic novels:

"There are three kinds of magic," said Wizzler, handing us each a balloon. "You can control tigers, you can shoot tornadoes from your fingers, or you can fly by holding your breath. The color of confetti inside your balloon will reveal which kind of power you have."
I felt the panic rising in me. What if my confetti turned yellow, indicating that I was a Tiger-Talker? My family, a long line of proud Tornado-Fingers, would disown me. Could I ever return home, bearing such shame?
I tried to calm myself as I readied the ceremonial safety pin. Green, I thought, willing my hopes into reality. Please be green.
I popped the balloon, involuntarily shutting my eyes. When I opened them, would I see the green I hoped for? The yellow I feared? What if, gods forbid, the confetti were blue?
I opened my eyes, seeing shock on the faces of my classmates. Wizzler himself stared at me, wide-eye. Looking down, I saw myself covered in confetti... purple confetti.

“I don’t understand,” I growled, my body trembling with pain. “I combined eighty percent Earth-elemental mana with twenty percent Fire-elemental mana (Type B), focused through a twenty-four-sided icositetragon made of yellow topaz. This, in conjunction with my blood type, star sign, sense of humor, and nickname, should have produced a blazing column of lightning to vaporize my enemies. Instead, it made a big bubble that smells like fresh laundry. Why?”
Skullgrumbler began to laugh. “You fool! You don’t even realize…” he squealed. “You’re facing east!”

“It’s whatever you want,” explained Magemaster Grampledog. “Magic is just whatever you want.”
I knew he was speaking in riddles, but I couldn’t grasp his hidden meaning. “So the rules are…”
Grampledog lit a sliver of smokereed. “No rules. You say some words and you wave a stick and whatever you want just happens. You don’t even need the stick.”
His wisdom still eluded me. I stared into his face, trying to decipher what he was really saying.
“No, listen.” Grampledog snapped his fingers and his desk turned into a pile of chicken nuggets. “I didn’t even know that would happen.” His hat then came alive and began to yodel.
“It’s pandemonium,” he explained. “It’s complete nonsense.”

A pitch card for FLOWERS FOR A MARTIAN by Daniel James. The pitch is on a blew background with forget-me-nots. Framing the pitch are illustrations of Liam and Duncan from
The book. Liam is a tall, muscular man wearing a white T-shirt and overalls. He has brown hair and a beard. Duncan is a plus size man, who is sitting on the boarder. He is wearing a white button up, a purple sweater vest, jeans, and purple converse. He has short honey colored hair and a beard. The pitch comps FLOWERS FOR A MARTIAN as THE PAIRING x HALLMARK, and the pitch itself reads as follows:
Going back home is hard enough without returning post-transition. Liam is convinced he can navigate the town & pretend to be a stranger passing through—until he gets paired with his high school sweetheart on a city project, who doesn't recognize him. As his feelings for Duncan grow deeper, it’s only a matter of time before Liam learns the past never stays buried.

*** #EDITORGUIDE for PICNIC DAY *** My quirky MG/lower YA about three best friends navigating their parents' college reunion at the FAMOUS UC Davis Picnic Day. If you love queer role models, multi modal texts, and awkward cringe moments, this might be a story for you! #EditorsGuide

And then my dad tells me a story from when he was in college.
A REAL STORY
I want to ask him a million questions,
but they all stick in my throat.
I hit pause on the recording app.
Because I know one thing for certain:

Dad definitely isn't talking about Mom.

Almost Flying, Imogen Obviously, YES DAY, The Babysitter's Club series

Hannah Miller dreams of becoming a journalist, but right now, she’s just trying to navigate her parents’ divorce and the end of 7th grade. At least she has Picnic Day to look forward to—a weekend where she can reunite with her best friends, Diego and Gemma, during their parents’ college reunion. But when she interviews her dad for her podcast about his first Picnic Day memory, she uncovers a heartbreaking story that makes her question what kind of love he’s hiding.
Diego’s got his own worries. He’s hoping his moms will let him join an elite travel baseball team, and he can’t stop thinking about Gemma and the almost-kiss from last Picnic Day. As he works on perfecting his breaking ball, he wonders if he’ll get his heart broken this weekend, too.
Gemma, tired of dealing with endless school drama, is looking forward to a peaceful Picnic Day with her besties. But with her parents busy hosting and the reunion crowd bigger than ever, she worries this year won’t feel like the familiar weekend she's been counting on.

New week, new #editorsguide! 👽🌸 FLOWERS FOR A MARTIAN 🌸👽 is a love letter to small hometowns, found/blood family, and loss/grief in all its forms (yes, even the messy ones). Thank you @authorkateduarte.bsky.social for this beautiful guide!!

a graphic that says "an editor's guide to flowers for a martian by @dannysdaydrams" on top of art by Cass_DWC. The art depicts Liam and Duncan from Flowers for a Martian. Liam is a tall, burly man with dark brown hair and a bull beard wearing a red shirt that shows off his muscles. Duncan is a fat man with honey-colored hair, wearing a white collar shirt and a sweater vest over.

A graphic containing a pitch and comps for Flowers for a Martian on top of a background that depicts a butterfly wing. The comps, listed on the righthand side, are: Red, White, & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston, Boyfriend Material by Alexis Hall, and the Hallmark channel.
The pitch describes the book as New Adult/Adult Contemporary Romance, and reads as follows: Liam fled. Duncan stayed. Ten years later, an unexpected reunion makes sparks fly—but Duncan doesn’t recognize Liam post-transition, and Liam isn't telling. Then they're assigned to the same city project. As feelings grow between them, Duncan begins to unravel the truth—and unearth his feelings toward Liam.

a moodboard and tropes for Flowers for a Martian. Three tropes listed on the lefthand side read: Grumpy/Sunshine, Secret Identity, and You've Got Mail. Three tropes on the righthand side read: Trans & Bi rep, Dual POV, and Second Change Romance. In the center is a moldboard with nine pictures in the following order, left to right: two people laying on the grass pointing at the sky, a black and white image of two hands whose pinky fingers are tied together, a light green background with the text "Life went on but it was never the same again," a dark green image with white butterflies, a sunset over a neighborhood street, a poster of two boys looking out at a forest, a green background with the test "plot twist he likes you too," a black and white image of a shirtless man juxtaposed by flowers, and an image of a spring field blossoming with pink, yellow, and purple flowers.

A graphic with a snippet from Flowers for a Martian on top of art by Cass_DWC. The art depicts Liam and Duncan from Flowers for a Martian. Liam is a tall, burly man with dark brown hair and a bull beard wearing a red shirt that shows off his muscles. Duncan is a fat man with honey-colored hair, wearing a white collar shirt and a sweater vest over.

The snippet reads as follows:
Liam hummed, his lips twisting to the side. “Actually, if I had to choose, Duncan is more my type.”
Absolutely everyone froze, but no one was more surprised by the declaration than me. I stared, white faced and mouth open like a dying fish, while Ian stood at my side looking positively giddy. I didn’t know what to do. How to respond. My heart was pounding in my ears so loud I couldn’t hear anything else. I looked at him, and he looked at me, and I didn't know why but I knew he wasn’t lying.
Was he flirting?
My head cracked to the side as something impacted my skull. I let out a cry of surprise as a basketball bounced off of my ear and onto the hard concrete. Oscar yelled an apology from the sidelines, but I could barely hear it. It momentarily roused me from my shock.
“Holy shit, are you okay?”
I looked up again, and suddenly, Liam was at my side. I stammered, those eyes holding me where I stood, and cleared my throat. “Yeah—sorry, I’m good. Barely felt it.”
Liam blinked, then let out a huffing laugh. “Sorry? What did you do to be sorry?” He lifted his hands and tilted my head to the side. I let him.
His skin was rough against my cheek.
“No blood.” He reported, and the touch was gone as fast as it came.
