So thoughtful that your novel is named after your daughter too aww!! 💗 I also only read The Golden Compass as an adult, but I was so in awe with the writing and worldbuilding!!! I did not like the ending to be completely honest, but I still think it's one of the best written novels ever!!!

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?"

She wants to believe anything is possible but life has shown her it’s unkind & unjust. He wants to belong to something bigger than himself. What if they found what they seek in each other but were destined to lose it all? #questpit #q #a #upmarket #amquerying

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.”

“Listen to me, sa’aba.” Neiana took her by the shoulder. “I don’t know what lies before you now. But I believe there is a reason this path has opened up to you. On this journey, you will see what Atalantis truly is—both its beauty and its cruelty. And perhaps you may have a chance that few others have: the chance to change things, to make it better.”

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).
