I’m behind this guy who owns a business talking about how he: 1. Doesn’t hire people with kids 2. Doesn’t hire Gen Z 3. Doesn’t hire people with priorities outside of work And he is going on and on about how everyone is lazy and doesn’t want to work. People want to live life, not make you $$$

I went to a Christian highschool and while I’m agnostic, I argued with teachers and classmates relentlessly about the way they spoke of homeless people, LGBTQ+ community, minorities, and women. I’d quote the passages we read to argue and it was me and a few other kids against the ENTIRE class

THE PIRATE, THE PRINCESS, AND JOHN is now in query inboxes near you ✨ #PosterPit #YA #F #LGBT #Q #amquerying
A faux movie poster for The Pirate, the Princess, and John featuring a silhouetted ship sailing on a layered blue ocean toward a distant castle under a pale moon, with three character names at the top: “Amir (the pirate),” “Mira (the princess),” and “John (for now).”

Below the ship is the quote: “A ship in harbor is safe, but that isn’t what ships are built for.” The title appears in large white serif letters, and at the bottom is the tagline: “YA fantasy, 82k, multi-POV; anti-colonial, non-Western, political intrigue; besties to lovers, found family, platonic ‘touch her and die’; strong girls, big feelings, sharp prose; diverse, queer, magical.” The author’s X handle @SARADURANAUTHOR and Bluesky handle SARADURAN.BSKY.SOCIAL appear in the lower right corner.

#QueerPit Three gay witches—a transfemme autist, an abused music witch, and a burnt out prodigy—team up to supply magic to a sentient ancient flower for three months. The problem? The flower’s not supposed to be sentient. MC must learn to regulate her emotions to fix her mistake.
A harmony of witches tropes. Close ownvoices autistic 1st person pov, sapphic childhood friends to lovers, trans coming of age, magic has a scent, cozy greenhouse in the garden vibes, surprising and hilarious midpoint twistExcerpt from chapter 2 Something Sharpe. These violets are lovely! Oh, Zen—Zenora you have no idea how worried i was that you’d be stuck in that weak state forever. But you’ve blossomed, just like the Allflower!

Agent guide for I Am Chosen, M/M paranormal romance. The picture is of a fiery orange and purple sunset over a highway. Photography and story by Dawn Berkoski 
Several photos are shown in this Moodboard for I Am Chosen, a paranormal romance. From the top left, a glass of aged scotch surrounded by butterscotch candies, a CEO standing in a high rise office, staring out a window, a giant hotel clock surrounded by Christmas decor, a photo of art depicting demons rising from hell, a sunset with black, billowy clouds hovering over an orange stripe, a dirty cement staircase near a darkened entrance, and the city of London as viewed from the river. Photography, except the man, by Dawn BerkoskiPhoto of a vibrant sunset over a graveyard as seen from the window of a fast moving vehicle. 
It reads: PITCH:

IN A WORLD CONTROLLED BY CORPORATE VAMPIRES, TWO MEN STRUGGLE FOR AUTONOMY. WILL A CHANCE MEETING
LEAD THEM TO FREEDOM, OR A WEB OF SUBTERFUGE, WHERE EVERY THREAD BRINGS A MONSTER OFFERING DEATH OR PERMANTENT CONFINEMENT?

Photo by Dawn Berkoski Book vibes are all about the feel of the writing, setting, and story. 

The Blue Blood Series by Melissa de la Cruz Is used to represent the wealthy elite vampires living in New York, the fish out of water trope, dark secrets, and others.

The Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice is used to represent young vampires rebelling against old rules and customs. Travel and setting also play a role. A plot point was inspired by the novel. 

Yakuza, Japan’s Criminal Underworld by David Kaplan and Alec Dubro, is used to represent some of the vampire rivals business practices. It plays a role in the series arch.

A Song to Drown Rivers meets How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days in LADY HAN'S MANUAL FOR MATRIMONIAL MAYHEM, in which the mischievous bride fights for divorce with chaos: 😈 unlikeable heroine ⚔️ enemies-to-lovers 💑 marriage of convenience 👑 political intrigue #questpit #A #RF #W (line editing for #Q soon!)
Agent's guide to Lady Han's Manual for Matrimonial Mayhem: 89K Adult Fantasy Romcom with low spicePitch: What can a girl do to escape an arranged marriage, but to prank her husband to hell and back in the hopes that he will divorce her?

In the Dazhen Empire, twenty-year-old Wen Anling’s comfortable life is turned upside down when her father forces her to marry Han Shiyan, the wealthy Lord of Qinglan. In a desperate bid for freedom, Anling fights chaos with chaos, by transforming herself into the nastiest wife possible.

Shiyan only married Anling to honour his mother’s dying wish. Had he known his new wife would send his simple life straight to mayhem, he would have thrown honour out the nearest window. But when his wife continues to get under his skin, he cannot help but grow intrigued by her eccentric nature—once he sees her irritating antics as what they truly are: harmless.

In the face of deadly threats, Anling must embrace her role as Lady Han and turn her cunning mind to their common enemies, or grab the freedom offered to her and watch the empire fall.Comps: The Darkness Within Us, A Song to Drown Rivers, How to Lose a Guy in 10 DaysExtract: Shiyan’s eyes widened for a heartbeat before he forced composure back onto his features. Her face was powdered with a thick layer of white, as if she had simply dunked it into a bowl of flour. Her bright red lip-paint smudged at the edges and… Heavens forbid women dab their cheeks with uneven blobs of pink.

Even the most senile and stern of his guests held their hands to their stomachs, straining to hold back fits of laughter. He would have gladly joined them, too, if he wasn’t the one with the honour of marrying this… this… buffoon.

He swallowed and recited the wise sayings of his forefathers: one should not judge a book by its cover; a woman’s beauty runs deeper than appearances; virtues are lasting while beauty is fleeting.

Oh, to hell with wise sayings.

❤️‍🔥 THE HEALER WITCH ❤️‍🔥 If you thought coming back to the place you hate the most was bad, imagine getting tangled in a Healer’s dodgy business AND constantly putting your life in danger in the process. The odds are not in their favour, but the Gods are. #agentsguide #questpit #Q #A #F
Purple and orange flames over a dark background. White text reads: The Guardians of Melya present, The Healer Witch. A Bewitched 97K Adult Fantasy by K J SilverPurple and orange flames over a dark background. The white text reads: The pitch - Captain Onwyn Storm's life changes the moment he agrees to work for General Redwood, though he will soon learn just how much. While trying to prove himself and fulfill the bargain he's made to be rid of his father's corrupting influence once and for all he is forces to work with Lunary. A Healer Witch who has more secrets than he can keep track of and could very well cost him everything he has worked so hard for. Or his life, if he's not careful.Purple and orange flames over a dark background. The white text reads: Inside the healer witch - Morally grey FMC, cozy with a dash of darkness, the slowest flame to ever burn, meddling gods, found family that annoy each other to death, sentient houses and secret libraries. 3 pictures on top of it are: the cover for The Courting of Bristol Keats and The Witch Collector, as well as a poster for Avatar the Last AirbenderPurple and orange flames over a dark background. White text reads: The Prologue - And so Ylluriel had endured centuries of watching how they destroyed each other. Over land, resources, family feuds. The reason didn’t seem to matter, for they always found another excuse to turn against one another. The greed, the hopelessness. The anger and blood lust. The jealousy and despair. They had all infected the lands of Melya like a plague that no one could stop. Ylluriel had easily grown tired of staying aside. Of having the power to change things and not do anything to help the children that she loved so fiercely. Her love was so great that she was willing to go against Melya herself, the Mother of all. Her grandmother. 
 It wasn’t the first time she had defied her, after all, and she was sure it would not be the last. Especially not when a child, so desperate to live, had found her way to her realm.

Next is a photo of two people (man and woman) hugging in a romantic embrace. Next, is a mermaid silhouette in blue water. Then, there is a mermaid tail poking out of the water, with the moon hanging above. Then, there’s a woman sitting on a rock in the middle of the ocean. Next, there’s a man dressed as a prince with a sword at his side. Next, there’s a woman with a frown on her head. You can only see her head from the eyes up and her eyes are closed. Last, is a photo of an old journal, that looks to be written on parchment and there’s a hand on it, turning the pages.
