Hey y’all, here’s an #agentsguide to my completed 120,000 word YA spec fic first-in-the-series novel, THE POWER THIEF! #questpit #Q #YA #S #amquerying

Slide one of four of a pitch deck with a gritty, urban vibe. It says: An agent’s guide to THE POWER THIEF, book one of Pen Carter and the Superfreaks by Kodi Gonzaga. Young adult, speculative fiction (superpowers), 120,000 words, complete.

Slide two of four of a pitch deck with a gritty, urban vibe. On the right, there is a drawn image of two kids. One is a teenage girl with short, dark brown hair, brown eyes, and tanned skin wearing a gray t-shirt, a red hoodie, torn jeans, combat boots, and a backpack. She holds a knife in her hands and stands protectively in front of the other kid. The other kid is a young boy with short, dark brown hair, brown eyes, and tanned skin wearing a white t-shirt, and oversized green hoodie, rolled-up jeans, sneakers, and a backpack. He holds onto the teenage girl’s arm and has an old and beaten up stuffed dinosaur toy in his arms. The text on the slide reads: PITCH. Pen Carter is a sixteen-year-old girl living on the streets of New York City with her little brother Tommy, running from a bad foster placement and their own childhood trauma. They also have superpowers; Tommy can mentally manipulate technology, and Pen has both telekinesis and the ability to control superpowers themselves. When Tommy is kidnapped by people with superpower-blocking tech, Pen must join forces with Jack and Alice, two other super teens, to rescue him and the other kids in the lab under Asclepius Incorporated. After the rescue, the now seven kids decide to take down Asclepius and their secret military partner STRIKE --- an organization with ties to Pen and Tommy’s dead father. As they unravel the secrets of Asclepius and STRIKE, the kids also discover an entire society of supers kept secret by their own volition and who never came to their aid. Friends and foes alike, super and non-super, reveal themselves as the kids run around NYC trying to take down the people chasing them. And eventually, Pen learns that she could be the key to understanding superpowers themselves, but all she really cares about is keeping her brother safe. And the best way to do that may be to reveal the secret of superpowers to the world...

Slide three of four of a pitch deck with a gritty, urban vibe. It is titled COMP TITLES and lists Percy Jackson and the Olympians by Rick Riordan, Maximum Ride by James Patterson, and X-Men & The Power Pack (a Marvel Comics Limited Series). Additional Comps: Renegades by Marissa Meyer, Unwind by Neal Shusterman, Legend by Marie Lu. All pictures taken from Google Images.

Slide four of four of a pitch deck with a gritty, urban vibe. It is titled THEMES & VIBES and has phrases over images listed. SUPERHUMAN OPPRESSION is over an image of a person hanging off a wall staring at a skyscraper at night. TRAUMA & ABUSE is over a pair of bandaged, held hands. GOVERNMENT CONSPIRACIES is over a blacked out, confidential, official looking paper. EVIL LABS is over a person inside a cage. FOUND FAMILY is over a picture of the ground with four pairs of shoes in view. SIBLINGS is over a kid in a hoodie on the bus, seen from behind. STREET SMARTS is over a subway platform with a train blur going by. All pictures taken from Pinterest.

MY BRILLIANT FRIEND x WE DO NOT PART In post-Revolution Lisbon, Lídia and Isa spend the summer of violence trying to revive a dying friendship at the dawn of a new and uncertain age as their imaginary world begins to crumble. #questpit #A #LF #S #HFic

Picture split in two. On the left side there are two pictures, the background is a picture of the typical architecture of Lisbon, windows with small balconies, and there is a tram going past obscured by the picture on top of it, of a woman with dark hair reading a book. In black and white.
On the right side there is a picture of the gates of Lisbon altered to look neon orange and blue. On top of it is a picture of two young women, one with blonde hair, the other with black hair, joking around as the latter places a pan over the former's head.
In the middle of the overall picture is a cardboard note with a scribble that reads: "Why did she have to come back and ruin everything again?"

BEAUTY & THE BEAST x STAR TREK Roan, part of the last team of archaeologists sent to Earth, stumbles into an ancient bunker haunted by the synthetic mind of a trillionaire. She’s the only one who can fix his tech, but can she save him before Earth is swallowed by the Sun? #QuestPit #A #SF #R #Q

A pair of hands, one warm and one grayscale, reach towards each other over a NASA image of the Sun. Text at the top reads “She brought me back to life…and I don’t want to die.” Text at the bottom reads “BEAST OF EDEN”

An image of the Sun, with a wilting rose, a black and white robot, and an espresso in a glass mug in the corners. In front of it reads the text “LOGLINE” and more text below it reads, “In this adult 99k sci-fi “Beauty & The Beast” retelling, an archaeologist excavating long-abandoned Earth can only save one before the Sun explodes: her research or a repentant synthetic copy of the man who doomed the planet.”

An image of the Sun, with old records for a record played in the top left corner. The words “OPENING LINES” are in the right corner and text above the Sun reads, “Roan’s wrist buzzed with a notification. She pointedly ignored it.
She fidgeted against the wall of what would eventually be her first curated exhibit,
“Captured Sound: A Pre-Culture War Celebration of Musical Ingenuity.” Her family milled around the space, taking in the sad, mostly empty podiums.
Her moms insisted on a preview tour before it opened to the public, if it did at all. Roan
gripped her elbows, wishing she’d done more to stall, wishing she had more here to impress them. But what could she do when they wanted a private showing, especially when they made the trip all the way out to her station?

An image of the Sun. In front of it is the word “COMPS” and the covers or movie posters for “The Ghost and Mrs. Muir,” “Moss’d in Space,” “Volatile Memory,” “In the Lives of Puppets,” “Star Trek: The Next Generation,” and “Beauty & The Beast.”

ARRIVAL X PARKS & REC A burnt-out lawyer escapes Earth expecting to build humanity's future, only to discover first contact is just another office job—with stranger coworkers, messier politics, and exponentially more paperwork ✨ Monet Inspired Planet ✨ Flirty Bi Alien ML #QuestPit #Q #A #SF #R

An Agent’s Guide to MEETING OF HONESTY by Florrie Auclair

A 100K romantic science-fiction novel

Title slide shows two characters in a romantic dip: an angry human woman in modern clothes and an alien man with flowing, iridescent hair against a soft pink gradient

Pitch Slide:
First contact has more paperwork than Gloria ever imagined.

When aliens arrive on the same planet Gloria's crew intend to colonize, of course they want the same land: the Sunny Spot, the only area with enough light to grow crops with a unique biome. But their territory dispute is moot if a toxic moss ravages it first. Gloria must now facilitate first contact and work with Emeric, the charming alien leader, to manage their shared collaboration.

From alien strangers to bickering rivals, Gloria finds herself developing feelings for Emeric. Until secrets shatter their growing bond. Now she must weaponize bureaucratic red tape and enlist the help of her crew to negotiate—but it means coming clean about her own secrets. At the risk of losing the only people she cares about (including the alien causing her problems), Gloria must be honest with them—and herself—to ensure humanity has a home and its autonomy.

Comp Slide:
The Left Hand of Darkness
Arrival
Parks & Recreation
I Was a Teenage Exocolonist
Translation State
Overruled

With the text: diverse cast, examination of cultural values, alien diplomacy & communication, bureaucratic satire, lush colony planet, legal conflicts, workplace rivals-to-lovers, and prickly FMC

Excerpt Slide

Image of Gloria, a human woman wearing business clothes with a clipboard obscuring the bottom half of her face

Text:
His other hand pointed to their adjoined palms. Beginning at their pinkie fingers, he bounced to the next digit and enunciated a new, unintelligible word. Each finger anointed until reaching her thumb. This was the oddest difference between their hands; his was longer with an extra joint. Clarity crashed into her. Her inhale sharpened.

Five fingers.

Across the universe, she met a new lifeform and they both had five fingers on each hand.

"Oh my god," Gloria breathed. Ironically, it was their shared features that overwhelmed her. Comfort should accompany commonality, but instead, it made this fever dream of an experience harder to deny. It was tangible that she was standing here with a bipedal humanoid with five fingers, even if his skin was blue and he had rainbow hair and feathery moth antennae. Either she was going to start laughing hysterically or throw up.

Warble, the alien agreed (she had no idea if that was an affirmative).

F/NB WAYFARERS x MURDERBOT Ship's cook Tai is horrified to discover their new crewmate is a terrifying alien: an ordinary human woman. Now Tai's stuck with bickering crewmates, sinister criminals, explosions, and worse, a human who wants to be friends. #QuestPit #A #SF #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 Wiswell

TROPES:

metaphorically disabled protagonist
slow-burn friends-to-lovers and enemies to lovers in the same relationship

A MARVELLOUS LIGHT X PENNY DREADFUL When a mysterious being heralds the apocalypse, there are only two witnesses: Rowan and Darshil, bitter exes who must brave London’s occult underbelly and save the world from eternal darkness, all while grappling with their unresolved feelings. #questpit #Q #RF

Gothic Gaslamp Romantasy
Adult standalone
109,500 words

Pitch:
After their one-night stand ends in hurt, hedonistic occultist Rowan and repressed poet Darshil never want to see each other again. That plan is ruined when a being from beyond the grave heralds the apocalypse, and they are the only two witnesses.
Forced together, Rowan and Darshil plunge into London's occult underbelly in search of answers to the apocalypse. But as the Veil between life and death slowly thins, and old passions reignite, Rowan realises the truth lies in memories he swore to forget, and that the past is a shallow grave, easily unearthed.
Comps:
The Magpie Lord: gaslamp world, occult magic, big spooky house
A Marvellous Light: opposites attract, magical bonds
The Gentleman and his Vowsmith: second chance, steamy romance
The Resurrectionist: historical setting, self discovery
Penny Dreadful: Victorian gothic, seduced by darkness

Black cat x golden retriever
Yearning
Bisexual awakening
Second chance romance
Forced proximity
Only one bed
Opposites attract
Gothic decadence
Big spooky house
Exploration of grief
Horror as a metaphor
Dreams-based magic
The occult
Alternate London setting
Art shows a thin white person with short black hair, blue eyes, and an unimpressed expression, and a plus-sized South Asian man with chin-length curly black hair, brown eyes, short facial hair, and a soft smile.

It was a poet’s job to seek out beauty, to be mesmerised by it. Darshil wanted to transform Rowan into swirls of ink, to fit his hands into the slight dips where Rowan’s waist met his hips and write him a thousand times over.

The only thing more fascinating than death was the tormented living it left behind.
It helped to hate him. It was less painful than loving him.
The dead thing woke to the acrid stench of its own rot.
Rowan matched him tenderness for tenderness, giving everything he could and knowing that for once, his everything was enough.
Perhaps closing his eyes stopped it meaning anything. Darshil knew he should do the same. This was shame beyond anything else, a secret to take to the unloving grave.
He kept his eyes open anyway. With Rowan beneath him, as beautiful as the dawn, he couldn’t bear to look away.

Sterling was hired to kill a witch. Elias needs the hunter's help to save his forest. Avery struggles to conceal his love for another man & an awakening strange magic. And all three are being targeted by a cult. "The Witch of Eden Hollow," a 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 queer fantasy romance. #BluePit📖 #W #A #F #R #TR #LGBT

This spread has the title, "The Witch of Eden Hollow," on the top, the pitch on the left, and comparisons with explanations on the right. They are all set against an autumnal background.

Pitch:
Inquisitor T. Sterling is hired by the pious town of Eden Hollow to hunt down the witch that commands an ancient forest called The Elder Grove.
Reclusive, guarded, and untrusting, Elias finds with dread that the only way he can save his forest (and himself) from an untimely demise is to work with the hunter that was hired to kill him.
Within Eden Hollow, Avery Miller struggles with the town's restrictive Puritan values, forced to hide his love for another man and a sudden magical ability that manifests within him.
As their lives intertwine and tensions rise, secrets that were desperately locked away seep through the cracks, and what they find very well may destroy them.

Comps
Each comparative title has the cover of whatever media being compared, and it comes with key elements that "The Witch of Eden Hollow" draws from.
1. "Slewfoot: A Tale of Bewitchery," by Brom
Similarities: "Embracing who they claim you are; Puritanical religious similarities"
2. "Strange Magic" (film)
Similarities: "Sworn off love for good, only to find it in the most unlikely of places"
3. "The Witch" (film)
Similarities: "Would'st thou like to live deliciously?" but make it queer
4. "The Wickerman" (1973 film)
Similarities: "Something's not right about this town; Who are the real monsters?"

In the bottom right corner, there is an Anti-GenAI symbol.

SIX OF CROWS x JADE CITY When Gemna’s mentor goes missing she must uncover a larger plot to eradicate mages; one involving the emergence of a mysterious stone that mimics their powers 💥 energy magic 🀄️ Asian setting ❤️‍🔥 slow burn 🏠 found family ⚔️ heists 🧐 research subplot #bluepit #bluepit📖 #A #F

movie style type poster in bright red, with the title CONDUCT OF MAGES, and subtext that reads:

Mages are disappearing…Gemna will risk everything to find out why

an adult fantasy, complete at 100k words

Now represented by Elizabeth Pratt, Trellis Literary

on a bright red background -

THE PITCH: When her mentor goes missing, Gemna joins forces with fellow mage, Ren, to unravel the connection between the string of disappearances and a terrible discovery that could mean a future where mages are not just outlawed…but wiped from existence.

FOR FANS OF:

Six of Crows
Blood Over Bright Haven
Jade City

on a bright red background, quotes from early readers:

their chemistry is still in its early stages, but I love how clear their compatibility is. Even if I’d never seen them on the page together I would see how they could complement each other.

it’s so difficult to decide what to rave about first, but I’ll start with the world building. from the first sentence, you begin weaving this world with intention.

the tension (of the plot) is insane. your scenes are very layered. it feels like Gemna can’t catch a break.

I’m obsessed with this magic system and the subtle themes of tech vs
humanity

Ten years ago, fallout from tragedy broke them apart. When reunited at the cottage for a wedding, she tries to resist the temptation of reigniting their flame, but he’s the one who can’t be trusted, and nostalgia might not be worth another heartbreak. #bluepit #bluepit📖 #a #r #q

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

Pitch

If you love someone, let them go and if they come back for your sister's wedding, then nothing can possibly go wrong.

Nostalgic for their teen romance, two exes reconnect at a wedding in the place they fell in love and fell apart after a tragic accident. When they finally build each other’s trust back, a secret reopens old wounds that fuel the fires of the insecurities that lay dormant for ten years.

happy place: What if your happy place stopped being happy?
every summer after:Two timelines, lake house setting
Adelaide: A story that will break your heart and sew it up again
how to hide in plain sight: Complex family
dynamics
atomic hearts: 2010s nostalgia

excerpt: His presence made me feel like I was seventeen again and happily suffocating in my family’s lake house. Back then, I was enamored by the smell of pine trees, lake water, and cigarettes in a dive bar parking lot. Summers were like a warm pitcher of beer, a crisp can of Pepsi, and tobacco-tainted kisses.

Now I was twenty-eight, killing time waiting for the delayed 1 train after telling the lawyer we shouldn’t see each other anymore and it was frigid outside.

So impressed by today's #BluePit📖! My #agentsguide to FRAGILITY OF SEASHELLS 🐚 🌊 An unexpected inheritance, tacky shell art, dueling in-laws, & Mark Twain’s unconventional wisdom lead Esidora to the shocking truth of her aunt’s death on a remote Maine island 🌲 #A #Q #M #amquerying #writesky

Poster for THE FRAGILITY OF SEASHELLS (adult mystery)

Pitch: Deposited in a mail slot and raised by a moose—that’s how Esidora describes her unorthodox childhood growing up on Maine’s rugged coastline. Now a perpetual astrophysics doctoral student living in Chicago with her fiancé Tremblay (a Twain scholar), returning to Maine is the last thing on her mind… until she notified of her Aunt Beverly’s unexpected death back on Baribeau Island, and the stunning news that she is a co-heir to her aunt’s estate. But when she returns to the remote island to probe for answers and confront her own secrets of the past, peculiar things begin to happen. When Tremblay unexpectedly arrives on the island, the couple borrows from Tom Sawyer’s unique perspective as a fictional detective to unravel the mystery—and startling family secret—behind Beverly’s death.
