GET IT TOGETHER | 88K | Adult Black Rom-Com ✨ Nothing can stop Cassie and Malcolm, bona fide workaholics, from pursuing a second, serendipitous chance at love, until a tangled web of money, frenemies, and yarn jeopardizes their best-laid plans and threatens to tear them apart.🧶🖤 #QuestPit #Q #R #A

White text and images over a brown background. Agent's guide to GET IT TOGETHER. Est. Brooklyn 2026. 88K. Now Querying.

The Pitch: Nothing can stop Cassie and Malcolm, bona fide workaholics, from pursuing a second, serendipitous chance at love, until a tangled web of money, frenemies, and yarn jeopardizes their best-laid plans and threatens to tear them apart.

What to expect: Rom-Com Antics with Heart & Depth, Second (and third) chances, BIPOC cast of characters, he falls first, but she wants casual, high spice, cafes, clubs, and craft stores, fierce and funny friendships, anti-capitalist propaganda, "what if i just quit my shitty job"

The comps: Kennedy Ryan's can't get enough, Alexis Daria's along came amor, and HBO's insecure

A black adult rom-com of overcaffeinated proportions

White text and image over brown background. Image is of two people holding a disco ball.

Text says: Get it Together - Meet the MCs
She thinks he’s too cool for her, and he thinks she’s too cool for him, and that might make them perfect for each other.

Cassie quit her high-powered job and really wants a craft store.

Cassie loves a good plan, but she certainly didn’t plan to quit her shitty job when her boss screws her over. Determined to leave her corporate baddie phase behind, she devises “The Fun Plan” and swears off dating until she’s figured her life out. Her co-dependent ex was a nightmare, and she can’t have a man throw her off track again.

But when she runs into Malcolm eight years after their one-night stand at his beloved Brooklyn cafe, his willingness to help her out is kind of charming...

(she’s a virgo)

Malcolm owns Brooklyn’s hottest cafe and he really wants her (duh).

Malcolm is shook when Cassie barges into his cafe with a bag full of yarn. Little does she know, he just got an embarrassing lecture from his friends that he’s never beating the workaholic allegations, despite leaving the finance world years ago.

Cassie’s reappearance might be the distraction he needs, and he can show her what she’s been missing. Now if only she didn’t come with a conniving, elitist social circle that could upend everything he’s worked so hard to build...

(he’s a capricorn)

White text and images over black background. Images include pictures of coffee, food, couples, and clubs to represent the energy of brooklyn.

Also features images of artists to listen to: Beyonce, Victoria Monet, Janet Jackson, and Amber Mark.

Text says: Get it Together - Peep the Vibe
It may be winter in Brooklyn, but Cassie and Malcolm are keeping each other warm.

Comps and Pitch
Jane Eyre
The Viscount Who Loved Me
The Phantom Of The Opera

When a scandal exiles her to Lucerne, disgraced Olivia Rooney falls for the one man she’s forbidden to love—Théodore Chair-Beaumont, the brooding aristocrat sworn to matrimony with another.
But beneath his restraint lies a wound that mirrors her own. And falling for him could not only repeat the tragedy that broke him once before. It could ruin her reputation, once and for all.

Snippets:

His hunger transcends anything as simple as lust. A perfect replica of my own.
Our appetite goes beyond the physical. What we starve for is not the body, but the soul.
Spirits, which I'm certain, have known each other for millennia—longing and finding one another, again and again against all odds.
Nothing can come between what is immaterial.
Even less so when it is destined
A divine homecoming.
He is the vessel of my existence. The missing half that completes me. There is no him without me. And without him, there is no me.
-
And how do I tell him I'd gladly crawl beneath his armor, inside his clothes and past his skin? Fight myself through sinews and bone, every ligament and essence that makes him him, and live on solely to keep his soul free of any pain?
Caretaker of his soul for eternity.
-
A touch, as soft as a feather.
The dull edges of fingernails.
Deliberate and as exquisitely slow as molasses.
I arch into these luxuries like a cat wanting for more.
Hum at the whispery strokes as they comb through my scalp, down my hair, in pursuit of my jaw and finally my décolleté.
I know it's him.
Scent him like a vampire would sweet blood.

An agent’s guide to my newest project—To Save a Wilting Rose (WIP)!!! Adult paranormal romance at 91,000 words. #questpit #w #pr #a

The text says, “Agent guide for to save a wilting rose, adult paranormal romance, 91,000 words WIP.”

The text says, “ The pitch. A PHD student who’s returned home to her family’s resort island for the summer expects to spend time with her ill sister, but when a group of vampires from a medical research organization checks in, it’s not just the heir that changes her plans. It’s the life-changing cure they discovered together.”

The text says, “The Comps. Finding joy in an immortal life and serious topics with lighter tones like in Aubrey Wants to Die by Pip Knight. Simmering chemistry and the medical urgency like in Ali Hazelwood’s Mate.”

The text says, “The characters. Lettie Nightingale is a 24 year-old in grad school, has a twin brother, hates to be sweaty, grew up at the Eldham Island Resort, has dedicated her life to saving her younger sister. August Olsen is a vampire, and only child, loves to run, especially on the beach, expected to replace his father as president of The Vital Approach Foundation, and his favorite book is The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab.”

QL8 MG C Overall structure is good. QL is on the long side though. Premise sounds promising, but there’s a lot of telling and too many details in the summary paras; could pare that down, and bring out the MC’s voice more. Try to cover the broad strokes of MS. #RevPit #10Queries

FP2 MG C MC is hilarious, def want to follow them around for an entire story. Love the MC’s voice, the bits of interiority, and how descriptive lang reflects the MC’s POV. Opening seems high energy to reflect MC’s high energy; it’s an effective hook, but would use strategically. #RevPit #10Queries
