A THOUSAND THREADS is a twisted, adult retelling of “The Princess & the Pea” in which she’s not a princess but a reclusive fugitive in disguise on a probably-doomed quest to clear her name & return to her plants. Plus, there’s pirates. Querying late 2026 🤞 #BluePit #📖 #F #A #W #Fairytaleretelling

A background image of being underwater. Fancy gold swirls with flowers and leaves line the edges. Built into these swirls are the images of a boat, a very tall bed, and the profiles of a man and woman. There is text in the center featuring the title, “A Thousand Threads.” Below that it reads, “Adult Fantasy | 100k words.” Belle that is the name, “Sadie A Lindgren.”

There is a turquoise background that fades to black in the lower right corner. The title of the page reads, “The Pitch.” There are gold swirls and flowers in the upper right corner. On the left there is a picture of a fancy, overly-tall bed. There is text in the center that says, “When the reclusive groundskeeper’s daughter is framed for an assassination attempt on the Prince, she escapes and returns disguised as a princess suitor in a scheme to clear her name and reclaim her quiet life. But the only person who can help her succeed is the devious pirate who framed her in the first place.”

There is a turquoise background that fades to black in the lower right corner. The title of the page reads, “The Details.” There are gold swirls and flowers in the upper right corner. On the right there is a picture of an old-fashioned ship. There is bullet-pointed text in the center that says, “Princess and the Pea retelling
Multi-POV
Autistic Female Protagonist
Romantic Subplot
Pirates and Royalty
Swedish folklore
1790s vibe

An agent's guide to Song of the Sickle, an adult romantic fantasy, 115,000 words, first in a planned series by Megan A. Saraceno

The Pitch: She’s hiding her name, her past, her power.
He sees through her every lie.

Rejected by the gods, Tessa Whitaker brands a false divine seal into her flesh and steals her brother’s identity to save him from a war he won’t survive. But when her emotions manifest unblessed elemental magic, she catches the attention of her dangerously perceptive commanding officer. If he uncovers her secrets, execution will be the least of her problems.

She can survive the war.
She’s not sure she can survive him.

Opening Lines: Tomorrow, the gods would judge me.
Tonight, I pretended they didn’t exist.

I swung the scythe through another row of wheat. My shoulders screamed, but at least the burn was honest. More honest than twenty years of prayers that had earned me nothing but silence.
Sweat carved tracks through the chaff dusting my skin, but I kept moving. One more row. One more bundle. Anything to keep my thoughts off tomorrow and the bare stretch of skin on my forearm waiting to be claimed. Pictures of military training camp, earth magic, glowing amber ring, abandoned watchtower, and incense

The comps: A Fate Inked in Blood by Danielle L Jensen for weaponized faith and dangerous attraction; Silver Elite by Dani Francis for undercover military training and forced proximity; The Knight and the Moth by Rachel Gillig for divine deception and forbidden truths

SPACE SWEEPERS 🤝 LOGAN LUCKY When an AI-piloted space hauler threatens her home station, aging & indebted traffic controller Dez decides to rob the hell out of it. She's got a plan & a motley crew. But, when things aboard aren’t as expected, all bets are off. #QuestPit #Q #SF #A #BookSky

A black hole spirals in the distance, a fiery trail of material getting sucked into it from across the image. Approaching is a circular, doughnut-like spaceship or station. The title LANE BREAKERS runs along the bottom, the second word highlighted in bright purple and appearing to fall off the edge.

A red ALERT box connected to the ship says 'Now Querying', and the wormhole is labeled 'Taurine Strait'

COMPS & META INFORMATION

Along the bottom right, a black and white sketch of a old woman in a space pilot's outfit holds a glowing magenta martini glass. Smoke from her cigarette glows and wafts in pinks and blues.

Genre: SF Heist
Audience: Adult
Wordcount: +-100,000

Themes and Tropes:
Blue collar heist
(Re)found family
Grungy space life
Sentient AIs

Comps:
Logan Lucky
The Quantum Magician
The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet
Cascade Failure
The Suez Canal incident
Space Sweepers

THE HEIST:

Desdemona Skene hates her job. She spends each day as a glorified crossing guard for traffic through her system’s wormhole. But, ever since she botched a flight of her own, it’s all she has. Dez’s friends have moved on, her ex is seeing someone new, and she’s in debt to the mob. At eighty-three years old, it’s not like she’s a candidate for promotion.

But then Dez learns that the largest civilian ship ever designed by humanity will be passing through her friendly neighborhood wormhole. Piloted by an experimental AI, this cruise might prove computers are finally able to successfully navigate wormholes. Stock prices will blast into orbit, but it’ll spell unemployment for Dez and thousands of human pilots. Probably her home station too.

If that ship’s taking her down, Dez is going to drag it along for the ride—and make a tidy profit along the way. She’ll need to gather a crew (if her old friends will still talk to her), shake the mob, and outwit megacorps and empires both.
But if she pulls this off, she might just get to live out her dream of a quiet retirement.

THE CREW
Golden boxes house titles and descriptions of characters. The top one, Dez, is a magenta circle that looks sci-fi.

Desdemona ‘Dez’ Skene
Washed up and too poor for retirement, Dez has a drinking problem and a mob problem. She might have one last job left in her

Hacker
Finn's got a heart of gold, more backdoors than a hardware store, and would rather be playing video games

The Faces
Dez’s parents might be older than moon dust, but Hank and Gwen have been conning people for almost a century. They still haven’t lost their touch

Sentient Adbot
Marty, the uplifted, digital adbot who dreams of personhood. He also happens to live inside Finn's head

Crack Pilot
Vil is the fastest sled pilot on Midway Station, famous for crushing the illegal racing circuit. Also, he's Dez’ ex of thirty years

The Muscle
The best mechanic on the station, Caius brings some well-needed muscle. But, most annoyingly, he's Vil's new flame

THE EVERWINTER KING Desperate to find his missing sun god, a former holy king returns home to compete in trials meant to bring his god back and stop the onslaught of an endless winter. 🏳️‍🌈 Queer norm world ☀️ Light-based magic 🏳️‍⚧️ Trans love interest 👑 Hidden royalty #QuestPit #Q #A #F #LGBT

Title page for an agent's guide to THE EVERWINTER KING. The title is placed over a moodboard featuring a Mediterranean inspired setting and royalty imagery. In addition to the title the page reads "Adult Fantasy Standalone. Queer normative world. MM romance subplot. 99,000 words."

THE EVERWINTER KING's pitch.

PITCH
A former holy king does the one thing he swore he’d never do in search of his missing god. He goes home.

Malachi was born with God’s voice in his head. When God vanishes in the midst of a decade-long winter, Mal breaks the oath he made to himself and returns to the home he abandoned—the city where he was raised to be king. There, he’s marked to compete in trials meant to select God’s new emissary. His replacement.

After succeeding in the first trial, Mal demands entry to the royal temple, where he learns the skies are empty. God has stopped speaking to his priests and Mal alike. With no other avenue for answers, Mal must win the competition for God’s favor and assume the throne he never wanted, or risk losing his oldest friend for good and damning the world to a worsening everwinter.

An excerpt from THE EVERWINTER KING. Next to the excerpt is character art of the main character. He has light bright skin, dark brown hair, facial hair, and a simple jerkin over white shirt. His eye is glowing like the sun.

EXCERPT STARTS BELOW

“My head hurts,” Malachi mumbled into his drink.

“They say King Ridaris’ eye glowed like this.”

Did they? Malachi shuffled through his memories for any mention of that from his mothers, or the history books, and found nothing.

“I think it means God knows who you are.” Sen lowered her voice, eyes shifting toward the surrounding priests. Kinder to pretend she did it out of concern for his headache. “You need to be careful.”

“Aye.”

“It hasn’t stopped glowing. Everyone else’s did.”

He raised a hand to cover his eye, pausing to marvel at the light pouring over his fingers and palm. It spilled into every crack, crevice, and scar his hand had to offer, like liquid pooled against his skin. Malachi closed his fist around the cold light and pressed it to his face. “Hurts.”

“Close your eyes,” Samara offered. “Rest. We’ll handle it from here.”

For once, he did just that.

A page listing comp titles.

Comp titles for THE EVERWINTER KING include: "The Raven Scholar" by Antonia Hodgson, "The Raven Tower" by Ann Leckie, "WITCH KING" by Martha Wells, and "The Red Winter" by Cameron Sullivan.

Similarities include: godly shenanigans, political trials, queer-norm worlds, queer male leads, messy homecomings, and a second chance subplot.

Bonus comp! Dragon Age 2.

NAUSICAÄ X FF7 Hana is sure she’s the chosen one, even if her magic is resisting her and the previous chosen one insists she isn’t. But if it isn’t her destiny, then no one can save the world from poisonous dark magic, endless wars, and powerful demons. #Questpit #A #F #Q

Dark forest. An agent's guide to The Blessing Returned. Adult fantasy. 98,000 words.

Dark forest. Pitch. Idealistic Hana Hahl lives in a world that is slowly dying after a failed quest to bring back magic. The only ones left with power are self-serving royals and dark mages, while desperation has given rise to an anti-magic order. Caught up in a mystical event, Hana is blessed with an immense power that could restore nature to the world. As Hana struggles to control the overwhelming force, Lady Kalyn Nossi, the only known survivor of the disastrous quest, directs her to the one person who can help her. Matthias Azel, the failed chosen one, reluctantly agrees to teach Hana while concealing his past from her. Accompanied by Kalyn and a charismatic prince with a dangerous secret, they journey to seek answers about Hana’s destiny. They fend off demonic threats and the anti-magic forces as Hana struggles with magic that seems to resist her and a growing fear that the world isn’t meant to be saved.

A dark forest. Snippet. She took a cautious step forward, unaware she was in a spectral form. Little drops of shimmering light followed her path, dissolving into the ground. “But this has to be a sign?” Grass grew where the light fell, delicate bits of nature that should be impossible. “Maybe it’s returning!”
The young woman spoke with such bright reverence as if life was a fairy tale and magic was all they needed for a happy ending. It was as if she couldn’t see the shadows approaching her. The inevitable death.
“Magic should never return.”
After speaking those words, he sprang forward and shoved her away from the shadows. Pain rocked him as soon as he touched her. The scorching mystical agony tore a scream out of him, but it kept her away from the unearthly menace, and the shock did what he intended.
Sent him back to his body.

Sigrun’s people are under attack. Desperate for protection, Sigrun’s uncle, the king, seeks the aid of a dragon. When the king fails to raise the dragon’s tribute and the negotiations crumble around them, Sigrun steps in with her own offer – she will serve as the dragon’s storyteller in exchange for her people’s protection.
The beautiful yet terrifying Lord of the Endless Darkness gives Sigrun one month to prove she’s worth more than gold. At night, the primordial beast hangs on her words, claiming there’s magic in her tongue. By day, she tends to his village, watched over by Audun, the dragon’s second-in-command. Audun is as fascinating as he is arrogant and Sigrun can’t suppress her growing hope that his attention is more than evaluating her on the dragon’s behalf.
But those burgeoning hopes come crashing down when...

HORIZON 0 Dawn 🤝 ARCHIVE UNDYING When a machine god severs the world from ancient nanotech, two engineer priests, a blademaster, and her warrior-poet twin must hunt it for a cure—and revenge. Failure will doom the world to divine wrath. But success? That will be deadly. #QuestPit #A #SF #F #Q

A giant spaceship hovers over a dusty, walled fantasy cityscape. In the foreground, two figures stand in shadow looking out over the scene. The words "An Agent's Guide to CASCADE, by Gus Ryer" is along the top. His website, gusryer.com, is below.

A slide with metadata and story elements for CASCADE:

Genre: Science Fiction with Fantasy Elements
Wordcount: +-130,000

It shows the book covers for the following:
ASHES OF THE SUN, Django Wexler
THE ARCHIVE UNDYING, Emma Mieko Candon
ELDER RACE, Adrian Tchaikovsky
NOTES FROM THE BURNING AGE, Claire North
Ps5's Horizon Zero Dawn

Below that are the following phrases:

$A warrior woman with a winged helmet, armor, cape, and spear is along the right side of the image, fractured into triangles. Part of the following pitch is along the left: Lendi never asked to be a God Keeper—one of the engineer-priests who command ancient nanotech. Abandoned on their temple doorstep and raised under their strict thumb, she longs to escape. She almost gets her chance when an ancient machine god crashes to the planet in a blaze of fire. But, instead, Lendi is dispatched far away—alongside her devout friend—to investigate the disappearance of a remote village’s Keeper. And she’ll be tracked. In that village, Sedna has no patience for their Keeper’s rules or mysticism, especially since the fool vanished. She’s more concerned with defending her people with her warrior-poet twin. But, when a flood of malfunctioning nanites devours her town, Sedna and her brother are left with nothing but each other—and vengeance. As the four converge...$

THE RUSH IS ON! This Tuesday, Planetfall, Inc. announced it would join the rash of megacorps racing to deploy terraforming infrastructure through the newly stabilized Taurine Strait.

The streets of Mahyan never fully slept. Night’s darkness, not yet broken by either the sun’s rise or the blinding, baleful Eye of Toros, wrapped Lendi more completely than her robes. Still, she couldn’t shake the feeling that eyes were on her. She wanted nothing more than to run.
An eager vendor barred her way with his stringy arm. “A fine morning calls for a fine meal, miss.” He smiled and fanned out a selection of skewered mutton and whalemeat wrapped in sea grass. Pungent, spiced oil dripped onto the dusty street.

Starfall: a queer space opera heavy on the intimate-stakes character drama, elfy science-fantasy, and swashbuckling starship adventure about a telepathic space elf who joins off-brand Starfleet. He's a stabby cinnamon roll who doesn't want any friends! (This is a lie.) #Questpit #Q #A #SF #SFF

Title slide that reads "Starfall, Queer Space Opera Adventure, 139,000 words, R. J. Howell."

Slide that reads: "Pitch: Erendesirel was raised for two things: political marriage and political skirmishes. Sadly, the galaxy doesn’t have much call for a well-trained ornamental husband or sword-wielding duelist. Banished from his technologically-hostile homeworld, unskilled, and entirely broke, he applies to the Galactic Survey and Security Fleet,
a company of space-faring scientific contractors.

He just has to somehow pass a basic competency exam he is woefully unprepared for. And agree to a 10-year debt contract to pay for his tuition. And avoid being driven insane by the thoughts and feelings of a crew of a hundred and twenty souls serving on a very small starship. And navigate all the well-meaning people trying to be his friend.

Oh, and not get kidnapped by pirates." There is another section below it that reads "Comps" and show the covers of Ocean's Echo by Everina Maxwell, Swordspoint by Ellen Kushner, Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir, The Long Way to a Small Angry Planet by Becky Chambers, Slow Gods by Claire North, and Shards of Honor by Lois McMaster Bujold. There is also an illustration of a space elf named Eren.

This slide reads: "Excerpt: Erendesirel—the nameless, the houseless, the planetless—had tracked his quarry down to a victuals shop on the outskirts of the space station’s medical district. From his hunter’s hide on a public bench opposite the establishment, he glowered at the incongruously-wooden door, breathed in the smell of roasted nuttiness and sticky sugar wafting out through the open bay window, and fought for equanimity.

His hand tightened on the hilt of his family sword, the blade pressed against his leg to accommodate the rather unfriendly design of the bench. Galactic architecture was, as always, crafted for comfort and unobtrusiveness but singularly failed to take into account a full-length sword at one’s hip. It didn’t matter that of all the peoples of the galaxy, there was only one that insisted on carrying true steel swords instead of some technological marvel that, oh, made the sword shrink or disappear or be constructed entirely out of light.

He would never stoop to touch such a thing. No, the sword and dagger set of his clan would serve him for this purpose just fine.

No matter that they were considered contraband. By both his people and station security, if for rather different reasons."

This slide reads "The Trope Nebula" and contains a series of trope-related terms: All the feels, found family, to boldly go (but contractually), swords but space, touch-adverse telepathic space elves, starships!, stabby cinnamon roll, disaster bisexuals, qu3eer, student debt?, lesbians with laser canons, and friendship! (whether you want it or not).

Spent the better part of 3 hours last night cramming pages and pages of research into 700 words that if I’m lucky 20 people might read. Who says I’m not passionate 👀 or is that the right term?🤔 🤪 open.substack.com/pub/jmorgynw...

SPACE SWEEPERS 🤝 LOGAN LUCKY When an AI-piloted space hauler threatens her station, aging & indebted traffic controller Dez decides to rob the hell out of it. She's got a plan & motley crew with baggage. But, when things aboard aren’t as expected, all bets are off. #PosterPit #WIP #SF #A #BookSky

A black-and-white sketch of an older lady with attitude against the backdrop of swirling stars. She's smoking and holds a pink and purple glowing martini in one hand, and she has a brace on her propped-up leg.

The title LANEBREAKERS leans along the top of the image in gold and neon pink. A tagline reads, "She's waited eighty years for the heist of a lifetime." Fake movie credits line the bottom of the image along with a notice that it's coming to query trenches this spring.

IN A WORLD Where the gods who abandoned humanity have returned… And they’re not offering deliverance, but destruction… Two rogue engineer priests and two sibling warriors must take a stand. Together, they'll bring hell to the gods ASHES OF THE SUN 🤝 HORIZON 0 DAWN #PosterPit #Q #A #SF #F #BookSky

A spaceship flies, low, over a rocky plain, a towering city with earthen walls in the distance. A large moon looms overhead, and two figures stand silhouetted in the foreground near a low hut: one holding a spear, and one an upraised and defiant sword. Fake accolades adorn the top of the image as in a movie posted, and the tagline: THE GODS ARE BACK AND THEY WANT YOUR PLANET runs along the city wall. The title, CASCADE, sits at the bottom just over fake movie credits.

A crew of mountaineers attempts to summit the last 8,000 m peak. Sherpa Takato and his son, needing money, goes against his better judgment. It's not the sheer cliffs and unstable icefalls that leave this mountain unconquered; it's something else. #PosterPit #W #A #H

Just finished reading TOO CURSED TO KISS by @jmorgynwhite.bsky.social! I had such a blast with this one - filled with adventure, humor, romance, and a good dose of mystery. Oh, and the included art was fantastic! Really brought an already vibrant story even more to life! #AmReading #BookSky

A hand holds a copy of TOO CURSED TO KISS, by J. Morgyn White, against the backdrop of a bookshelf. On the cover, a pair of shadowy hands within a golden, filigreed frame holds a pearlescent orb.

Sunday bookmail! Can’t wait to crack open the latest by @jmorgynwhite.bsky.social (and Nutmeg approves)! #AmReading #BookSky

A hand holds a copy of DEMONS FOR BREAKFAST, by J Morgyn White. An ouroboros against a green background, a glowing purple tree within its circle.

A striped cat nuzzles against the book, a slightly crazy look in her eye.

She’s a snarky, green juice-guzzling hedge witch who accidentally freed him; he’s an ancient, pissed-off wizard who’s been trapped for centuries. Classic grumpy immortal meets unhinged mortal, but neither is emotionally stable. #demonsforbreakfast #urbanfantasyromance
