This amazing drawing sums up CHEMICAL SOLUTIONS FOR LONELY HEARTS. #UnhingedPit #AmAlmostQuerying

A sketch of two people standing in front of a fume hood. On the left, a woman in a lab coat and safety glasses has her hands on her hips. She's glaring at the man, who is very tall and skinny. His arms are crossed and he stares at her impassively. He's wearing normal glasses and has a bit of a beard.

In the fume hood, red liquid is exploding out of an Erlenmeyer flask on a hotplate. In the air it turns into little hearts.

I don’t know if it’s my favorite but I really enjoy my opening lines. #mgparanormal #revpitwaiting

I wave my right hand over the Ouija board. The girls around me hold their breath and stare with wide, unblinking eyes. Thunder grumbles outside, the perfect soundtrack for our midnight seance. Callie’s hand shakes, the light from her flashlight flickering on and off like the batteries are about to die. My left hand, hidden under my knee, has its fingers crossed.
Because I, Ayla Graves, am a fraud.

Dune X The Library at Mt. Char In a city of psychics Sylin was born to be a killer. She prepares to join the Guild who will do anything to protect her home. Even turn her Guildmate into a monster. All while visions of 'strangers' threaten to bring ruin upon them all. #BluePit #A #F #Q

Even in a city filled with telepaths and telekinetics Sylin was born to be a killer. She is nearing her initiation to the Char-Tesh Guild and is preparing to set off into the desert to defend against the reptilian Stalkers who threaten her home. While this should be a time of pride and passage the Guild is plagued by visions of the ‘Strangers’ who come to bring them ruin. She must rely on her found family and Guildmates to survive a battle they have long odds of winning.
At the same time the Guild Masters play a shadowy game of power and politics where the ends always justify the means. Even if it means taking her fellow Guildmate and turning him into a monster.

After tragedy and family drama broke them up, Jasper and Brett moved on with their lives. Ten years later, they reunite for a wedding in the place they fell in love and fell apart. Has their dormant love story reawakened or are they just yearning for nostalgia? #bluepit📖 #a #q #r #bluepit

an agent’s guide to
None of This Was Real
upmarket romance

The Pitch
Jasper and her ex reunite at the lake 10 years after a painful breakup. When feelings become too hard to ignore, Jasper must decide if she'll heal her old wounds or reopen them and risk ruining not only their repaired friendship, but her sister's wedding too.

excerpt:
“You look good.” His legs brushed against mine as he sat on the ottoman across from me.

I clutched the stem of my wine glass. “What do you mean?”

“I mean you look good.” His eyes moved from my legs to my chest, back up to my eyes. He bit his lower lip, trying to suppress his bedroom eyes.

“You as well,” I said.

Jade interrupted us to talk about wedding cake flavors.

By dinner, we were out of cocktail ingredients. Wine bottles were starting to empty. We had a big Christmas ham, a turkey and vegetarian sides for Jade’s wedding diet, Auntie Jenny’s latkes included. Jade got drunk long before we sat down and ended up eating the meat.

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. #BluePit 📖 #A #Q #R #SF #OV #lgbt

“Did you hear? There’s a human on board.”

A mood board for my manuscript: "SF heist meets F/NB romance: queer aliens rob the TED conference and complain about their human."

The mood board is a spaceship wall with a single looking out over a planet. There are hexagon-shaped polaroid photos taped to the wall and a string of Christmas lights for cheer. On the right is a diagram of a spaceship on a post-it note with alien writing.

There is overlaid text:
Priorities:
Make dinner
Remain cozy
Haul cargo
Go for drinks
Pull off one last score
Try not to fall in love

Problems: Gun-happy pirates, nosy crewmates, terrible translator software, cultural misunderstandings, and a ticking clock.

Found family of dropouts and runaways:
terrifying monster (ordinary human)
agender ship’s cook (fussy)
sweet little old lady (giant bug)
loudmouth nudibranch (adorable)
grumpy single dad (with a secret)
autistic tween (with a bigger secret)
renegade lesbian nun (big player)

THE EMBER AND THE CROWN Magic follows the rules of science, but Seya’s brings objects to life. Now she’s trying to prevent a war while dealing with mind-controlling mages, complicated romantic entanglements, and political intrigue. Oh, and an angry blanket intent on murder. #BluePit📖 #Q #F #A #NA

Comps and vibes:
- unique magic system
- relatably awkward heroine
- sentient objects
- royals, spies, mages, and chickens
- from zero to competent

Photo of cover of Uprooted (Naomi Novik) with text "Heroine with unexpected, quirky magic"

Photo of Assistant to the Villain (Hannah Nicole Maehrer) with text "A fast-paced, hilarious romp"

Background is faded flames

Themes and tropes (often subverted):
- strong heroine
- finding one's place
- underdog hero
- forbidden romance
- love triangle
- arranged marriage
- not enough bedrolls

Background is faded flames

First lines:

Seya strode through the palace as though she belonged; just another servant scurrying to do her master’s bidding. She had no idea what palace servants looked like, or whether they’d scurry, but playing make-believe helped keep her mind off more pressing issues, such as – for example – her impending death.
