An #agentsguide to DON'T LOOK TOO HARD, a 76k YA speculative thriller. #questpit #Q #YA #S #T #MY

a guide to "Don't Look Too Hard," a YA speculative thriller | 76k words. Background image of a young woman staring into a mirror, covering her eyes with one hand.

Pitch: 16-year-old Jess, who sees people's future corpses in their reflections, must race to change fate when her visions reveal that her only friend is about to be murdered.
Comps:
"The Darkness Rises" by Stacy Stokes and "When the Bones Sing" by Ginny Myers Sain.

tropes & themes:
PNW setting
guilt
facing unpleasant truths
addiction
loss & trauma
everyone's got a secret

excerpt:
Mel's reflection, illuminated by the glow of a yellowed bulb, proved oh-so-easy to catch. The sight ripped the air out of my lungs. All of it: the whine of a distant ambulance, Mel's shouting, the frantic steps of other people running before the police arrived, everything except the pool faded. Ripples distorted Mel's image, but it didn't matter.

It was impossible to miss the giant knife sticking out of her back.

Long-lost twin sisters unravel the mystery behind their mother's disappearance and face the family betrayal that ultimately separated them in this breathtaking speculative young adult thriller.

Heiress and influencer Caliste Ha lives a glamorous life in an LA high rise, her perfectly curated social media feed hiding the cracks in her family. Across the country, Aria Nguyen is barely surviving as a freshman and academic scammer at Georgetown University. They have never met.

That changes with one unexpected and grim phone call. Their long-missing mother has been found dead in Les Eaux, Minnesota. Upon arrival in the sleepy town, Caliste and Aria discover another shocker—they are identical twins.

Ready to unearth the secrets that led to their mother’s death and their separation, they start looking for answers. But a vengeful ghost is haunting the waters, and an unknown enemy is watching their every move.

Can Aria and Caliste unravel all the sinister mysteries of Les Eaux, or will the town’s deadly secrets ultimately drag them under?

text reads THE VIBES and lists: energy magic, heists & scheming, found family, research subplot, slooow burn, female role models, SE Asian setting. placed on a moody dark background showing a brown building and orange and yellow paper lanterns

text reads FOR FANS OF and then six book covers are displayed, from top left to bottom right: JADE CITY, JASAD HEIR, MISTBORN, HEARTLESS HUNTER, BLOOD OVER BRIGHT HAVEN, and SIX OF CROWS

text reads EXCERPTS. the first is labeled FIRST LINE, and reads “Gemna was sorting through a basket of sparrowberries when she found out that her existence had been outlawed.” the second text bid is labeled CHAPTER 4 and reads: “In all fairness, Yala had never specified just how flammable elderfire was.

The heat was instantaneous and overwhelming. Gemna felt it scorch the edges of her sleeves before she pulled in the energy from the flames and, when she was nearly bursting with it, diverted it towards the two Hands at the front of the shop. The fire died harmlessly at her feet before it could eat its way into the hidden cellar below.”

F/NB WAYFARERS x MURDERBOT x SOMEONE YOU CAN BUILD A NEST IN Everything fell apart when the human came aboard. Instead of nice meals and quiet cargo runs, Tai's stuck with bickering crewmates, sinister criminals, explosions, and worse, a human who wants to be friends. #QuestPit #SF #A #Q #R #LGBT

Mood board/Agent's guide for my novel CARGO - a queer SF/heist/romance - 113,000 words

"Did you hear? There's a human on board."
A graphic of the wall of a spaceship with sticky notes and polaroid photos taped up. There are twinkle lights hanging from the ceiling.
alien ship's cook (fussy, anxious) + terrifying monster (ordinary human)

PITCH:
Tai’s terrified of humans. Everyone is. Violent pack hunters, humans are notorious for their strength, sharp teeth, and carnivorous appetites. But the ship’s cook is safe among the multispecies crew of the cargo hauler Coreward Baker: everyone knows the warrior species rarely leave their own space. Then Captain Raz hires Clarke, a human horticulturist.
Even after Tai overcomes their fear, they can’t stand Clarke. She’s bossy. Annoying. Useless in the galley, bad in a space suit. She might as well be cargo. Worse, she’s intent on befriending Tai—and why can’t they stop thinking about her, anyway?
That’s when things go wrong. As Tai starts to realize their feelings for Clarke, they’re horrified to learn that nobody on their crew of dropouts and runaways is quite who they seem, least of all Clarke. And it’s no coincidence. Raz reveals they’ve each been handpicked for a heist he’s spent years planning—and no one’s allowed to say no.

PRIORITIES:
make dinner
remain cozy
haul cargo
go for drinks
pull off one last score
try not to fall in love

FIRST PAGE:

“Did you hear? There’s a Human on board.”
I choked on my noodles and turned to stare at the diners at the next table. Like most of the restaurant’s patrons, the pair had hidden their profiles, a halfhearted attempt at anonymity.
“Gross,” the speaker’s crewmate said, oblivious to my alarm. “I hope it leaves soon.”
“Don’t let it hear you say that,” the first worker laughed. She made a show of looking for Humans, her eyes darting from table to table.
It. I frowned. I knew the workers’ language distinguished between people and things, and ‘it’ was an unkind choice of words at best.
The second worker shuddered. “I don’t know why we let them come here.”
The first laughed. “Are you going to stop them?”

COMPS:
Murderbot by Martha Wells
Someone You Can Build a Nest In by John Wisewell
The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers

TROPES:
Non-binary narrator masking anxiety with sarcasm
lying to themselves
non-human perspective (afraid of humans)
neurodivergent main characters
metaphorically disabled protagonist
slow-burn friends-to-lovers and enemies to lovers in the same relationship
disabilitynorm and queernorm setting
found family
loveable pet/terrifying monster
