📚 Ellie Rhymer! Spaceships and Scoundrels 📚 @ellieyellu.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

Heists, spice, and space! What do you do when: 🏳️‍🌈 You're a disaster bisexual 😱 Space witches want your illegal hyperspace treasure maps 💫 You must get off Hecate IV before you're caught You ALWAYS GET IN A SPACESHIP WITH A SCOUNDREL 🥵🚀 #BluePit #SF #R #A #📖 (Manuscript is #OS looking for an editor)

The first page of a pitch deck. A neon pink art deco border pulls words out of a romantic starry space background. This border and background repeat over the following images. The title page reads in art deco gold and neon pink: An editor's guide to -- Always Get In a Spaceship With a Scoundrel -- A Sci-fi Romance by Ellie Rhymer. Representation Christi Cardenas.

Romantic pink and sci-fi neon and stars: Pitch. Good heists. Bad Decisions. Great Chemistry.

Anora is the quick-thinking manager of an illegal casino, fleeing the assassination of her gang's boss with the hyperspace treasure maps thrust into her hands as he died.

Jayro is a mouthy interstellar smuggler from the wrong side of the hyperspace lane with the only ship that can get Anora off Hecate IV before the emperor's relic-hunting space witches close a net around the planet.

The two bad-at-feelings bisexuals try to tamp down simmering, inconvenient attraction as they are forced to work together with the scrappy, tight-knit crew of the Helle Wanderer to survive in the criminal underworld and discover the secret at the end of the dangerous maps.

Their love story is a heist and they're stealing more than each other's hearts.

Always Get In a Spaceship With a Scoundrel by Ellie Rhymer

Romantic neon pink and a starry background: Excerpt. “Those are pre-set…” Jayro warned as Anora toggled a series of switches at the nav computer and began actively moving data streams around the screen.
“Pre-set for scans for stationary objects. You pick out your nav programs like you pick out your paint schemes?”
Jayro felt annoyance rising up in him again. The cockpit was his domain. Never mind that he agreed with her about the deco. “It took Fish weeks to get those programs running!”
“Look, unless you want to meet an asteroid face to face, shut the hells up and let me work.” Anora frowned as she watched some data return from the program. “Call engineering.”
“Gladly.” Jayro opened the channel on his wrist communicator.
“Yeah?” Fish’s voice responded.
“The new navigator is having trouble with her—” Jayro broke off as Anora grabbed his forearm and yanked his wrist in front of her own face, causing his chair to whirl towards her.
“What on-boards are your pre-sets accounting for?” she asked into the communicator without a glance at him.
“The hyrdobeacon,” crackled Fish’s reply, “the fore and aft isotrope routers…and the gravitic drive buffer, I think.”
Jayro was frozen as Anora swiped at the nav one-handed. He could feel her warm breath on his palm as she spoke with Fish through his communicator, her hand gripping his forearm almost burning him through his flight jacket. She was close enough to smell the blaster emissions wafting off her, the sharp, citrus scent of the steam bath clinging to her skin. His fingertips were millimeters from her cheek and he wanted to cup her face in his hand and drag her around to look at him with those bright eyes. He wanted to play with the flyaway bit of hair that had missed her ponytail and brush his thumb over her lips until they parted.
What was wrong with him?

When she picks the wrong pocket, Nia unlocks a magical talent she didn’t know she had. Now she’s posing as an heiress, a con man’s gone missing, and Nia and her band of would-be thieves are on the run from magehunters, mathematicians, and the governor herself. #BluePit #YA #F #LGBT #W #BluePit📖

A mood board of eight tiles and a centre square with lockpicking tools and ancient writing:
1. Always have an escape plan.
2. A swindler never lets herself feel like a fraud.
3. Don't look for the easy grab, look for the easy mark.
4. Never get involved with golems.

The pictures depict, clockwise from upper right:
A) A city of canals and towering footbridges. There are minarets and steeples and red-tiled roofs.
B) A market selling elaborate lanterns, all aglow.
C) A porcelain and gold hand, reaching upwards.
D) Two figures leaping across rooftops against the coming dawn.
E) A pocketwatch--or is it? Constellations and continents cover the front, the body of the watch engraved with runes. It's sitting on ancient parchment.
F) A wax stamp with removable chits that function as coins in a card game.
G) The lords of the city overlooking grand canals and issuing edicts. They are dressed in fine red robes and silks.
H) Assorted bones and shells used for divination and more.

A man touching a woman’s shoulder gently, swords and banners scattered after a battle, pale hands tangled in threads. A tree with with moon shining between naked branches, a young woman reading a small book, a hand holding a floating dark crystal.

The title “covenant of the damned” is laid over a painting of a man being knighted by a queen. The text indicates that it is a dual point of view 119k word holy grail romantic fantasy book

Painting of a hand holding a sword in the background. The text indicates that this book is perfect for fans of [Lady] Knights of the Round Table retellings and every Gilmore Girls stan who was rooting for Rory to end up with Jess Mariano. The image also includes the following text pitch: When the Lord she’s sworn to protect is poisoned, a headstrong guard reluctantly allies with a loathsome king to find the Holy Grail before the Lord dies or the relic falls into the hands of evil sorcerers.

Photos of different comps are on this slide. This book comps Bridgerton season 2 and the Princess Bride movie for slow burn romance. It compares the elemental magic system to the one in Stacey McEwan’s “A forbidden alchemy” and draws a comparison to Rachel Gillig’s “The Knight and the Moth” for Lady Knight elements. It also compares National Treasure and “The Will of the Many” as comps for epic quests

Dark fantasy graphic featuring a stone angel statue with wings and a halo holding a spear, layered over a textured black background with a cream paint stroke. Large gold serif text reads “SAINTBORN.”

Fantasy novel synopsis graphic with gold serif title text reading “THE PITCH” over a dark floral and marble statue background. White text reads: When magicless thief Aurenna Taerwyn steals a relic from the capital’s most secure vault, she triggers a forbidden power, and sparks a vision of a massacre. The Saints the empire worships didn’t ascend; they were murdered in an empire-sanctioned genocide. Now, as an ambitious Magistrate moves to bury the secret, Aurenna discovers she’s not just holding a truth—she’s found the genocide’s only survivor. To liberate him, Aurenna must master the chaotic magic she was never meant to have and decide if she’s willing to burn down an empire to do what's right, even if she burns with it. Highlighted phrases include “forbidden power” and “sanctioned genocide.” "Burns with it" is circled. Atmospheric dark fantasy vibe.

When his elf supremacist cousin threatens war, Letyf must confront his traumatic past on a world-saving quest—but he's far from a hero. To make matters worse, he's up against Lia, a world-hopping demon with a reputation to uphold and plenty of lives under her belt. #Q #A #F #Questpit #AgentsGuide

"An Agent's Guide to Distant Realm, Adult High Fantasy, Dual POV, 136,000 words." A collage of images set against a backdrop of a misty forest. The central images feature a worried blond man, looking away from the camera, a serious woman with dark hair looking into the camera, and a realistic engraved set of armor. The top image features armored soldiers attacking a large city. To the left, are two text clips, bookending a drawing of travelers in a sunny forest. The top text clip says: "Letyf realized all at once that he'd never seen anyone die before. A thousand thoughts raced in his mind, but they were like arguing in another room, muffled through walls." The bottom text clip says" "And what if your paths cross again?" "Well, if possible, and if my master commands, I'll kill him."" Below the images is a tagline: "...is one small world worth dying for?"

An idyllic forest in summer, with parchment over top, reading: "THE PITCH: Letyf Duilles has no place on a world-saving quest.

Roksa Morthir took everything from Letyf—his sight, his magic, and his future. Now, Letyf must defy his father, his people, and his endless self-doubt to stop Roksa’s war.

To Letyf, Crelan is home.
To Lia, it’s just one more, backwoods fantasy world.

A world-hopping demon, Lia has served heroes and villains hundreds of times before. If Roksa wants her to conquer his home-world, she’ll just have to do it with gritted teeth and minimal complaints about the plumbing. After all, she’s bound to obey—and why would a world like this be worth saving?"

THE COMPS:
Five Book Covers: The Magicians, Nine Goblins, The Goblin Emperor, The Bright Sword, and Brigands and Breadknives.
Text coming off of these books: "I can't Believe it's not Narnia"; "Magical Multiverse"; "Anxious MC"; "Naive, Fish out of water MC"; "No Romance, Deep Friendships instead"; "Classic Fantasy World Reimagined"; "MetaFantasy"; "Action Packed and Bloody"; "Knights and Warriors"; "Lots of Walking"; "ttRPG Player Approved"

Image of A sword, with accompanying text:

FIRST LINES: We landed in my master's home-world with enough force to buckle my knees. As I yanked the heels of my pumps out of the super-heated soil, my master turned to gaze around at the brilliant green hills of his land.
--
Letyf drew back his arrow, sighting down the shaft at a kingbird on a low branch.
The bird cocked its head, beady eyes darting around, but they passed right over Letyf, crouched as he was in the brush. He adjusted his aim, accounting for the faint breeze.
He exhaled, gave the string a touch more pressure, then released.
The arrow arced away—and missed the fat gamebird by a clear foot.

In glowing letters across the crown says THE LAST OF SPRING (book title) above that it was “agents guide to” and below the title it says “this isn’t a fairytale.” At the very bottom of the page it explains the stats of the books “a fantasy romance by Willow James. 110k words- now querying”

The background is the same as the title page (all the pages have the same background). In glowing gold at the top it says “the pitch” and then under in white is the pitch. “ When straight-laced Xylia breaks the rules for the first time, she is thrust into the world of the Fae-betrothed to the prince and heir who claims she is the lost princess to the Spring Court. As he surrounds her with lavish affection and distracting balls, she begins to question everything when she meets his younger brother, who reveals a dangerous truth: the crown belongs to her and spring. Now Xylia must choose between the prince who claims to love her, the throne that is her birthright, and the heart that feels like home.”

All pages have the same background as the first. At the top of this page in glowing gold says “the comps”. There are three comps. Going from left to right. FROM BLOOD AND ASH- under it says the reason why it is a comp: “love triangle between two powerful men, political manipulation, & self discovery over time”. Next, RED QUEEN: “hidden royalty, betrayal, rebellion brewing under controlled society” Last, A COURT OF THORNS AND ROSES: “seasonal courts, magic systems, mortal to fae transition”

All the backgrounds are the same as the first. At the top in gold glowing letters “the opening”. Below in white letters is the first 3 paragraphs from the opening of the book. “I've never had control of my life. Even now, curling the last section of my hair in front of the mirror, a restless pull whispers that I don't belong here. At any moment, the edges could give way, and I'd be drawn into the life I'm meant to have. Something magical. Something that fits better than... this.
As a kid, I used to daydream I was anything but human. A werewolf. An elf. A fairy. In my more dramatic teenage moments, I even considered running away and hoping a vampire would capture me. Being undead would be easier than being inadequate.
I roll my eyes at my reflection and point the curling iron like a wand. "Stop it, Xylia. Rule two of going out—no beginning the night in a bad mood."”

HEARTLESS HUNTER X SLAVIC FOURTH WING 🎭 She, a humble servant posing as Duchess, is his executioner-to-be. 🐉 He, the arrogant Dragon Prince, must save a kingdom from the encroaching Ever-Dark. 🖤 Neither anticipated falling for the one destined to be their undoing. #questpit #NA #R #F #DF #Q

A gothic-style book cover titled "Root and Ruin." Centered is a glowing, cyan-blue dragon coiled into a circle, its scales etched with faint, runic symbols. Golden, gnarled roots extend downward from the dragon like branching veins against the pitch-black background. Text at the top reads "Enemies to Lovers," "Fated Mates," and "Fake Identity," with "An Agent’s Guide" in the top right. Subtitle reads "80k • NA Slavic Romantasy," and the bottom logline says, "She is sent to kill the dragon. Instead, she might become his only salvation."

A graphic titled "The Comps" in golden lettering. It displays four book covers arranged in a grid: "Heartless Hunter" by Kristen Ciccarelli, "Fourth Wing" by Rebecca Yarros, "Shadow and Bone" by Leigh Bardugo, and "The Witcher: The Last Wish" by Andrzej Sapkowski.

A self-made fantasy illustration showing a halfway transformed, dark-haired man, Prince Konstantin Veliki, with a silver crown and dragon wings. He is carrying a woman, a humble servant Iva, masquerading as a Duchess Zora, in a long, flowing cream-colored gown as they fly through the air. She is his guest but unbeknownst to him, she is plotting to poison him. In the background, a sprawling forest surrounds a magic academy, Kolegium with colorful, traditional Slavic-style onion domes—gold, silver, bronze and green. Each of the domes represents air, water, fire and earth magic respectively. Snippet text at the bottom reads: "Do you always sequester your guests and take flight with them?"

A self-made illustration set in the catacombs under the magic academy, Kolegium, featuring classical-style statues on the walls. Iva, in dark armor, rides a bright, light blue-scaled dragon; it is Prince Konstantin Veliki in his dragon form.
They face off against a monstrous, ethereal shadow dragon composed of wispy, black smoke and glowing eyes — this is Konstantin’s fallen father Tibor Veliki. A brilliant golden sphere of light, relic of the Slavic god of light, Belobog, called Spark of Creation, floats on a pedestal between them. Text at the bottom of the snippet reads: "Let us dance, little one," the Shadow Dragon hisses in a dry whisper of the fallen. "A worthy foe," Konstantin responds. We take to the air to meet the darkness. Two gargantuan winged silhouettes hover in the abyss, suspended in a precarious balance. They mirror one another; two sides of the same coin, champions of Belobog and Chernobog.

When extinction is imminent, Astrid wins the gods' favor by performing an immoral ritual to save their empire. But when magic fights back, she must decide whether to become their weapon, or defy the gods who soon reveal they will stop at nothing to survive. #Q #A #RF #QuestPit

Background with dark green vines. Text in white in the middle: “An agents guide to Wilted Fate, adult fantasy with romance, 108.000 words”

Background with dark green vines. Header: The Pitch, followed by two pictures. The first one of several women with white large bonnets and red capes, taken from the series The Handmaid’s Tale, and next to it is a picture of the myth The Wild Hunt from Norse mythology. On top of both pictures is text: The Handmaid’s Tale meets Norse mythology. Below is the pitch

Background with dark green vines. Header: First page. “There was no doubt in my mind that if the force of fate was real, it was female.A male could never have this sense of humor.I would’ve laughed, at least, at my hesitation to mount the tense mare before me. I’d lost count of how many times I had lifted my knee, only to straighten it out again. But only fate was to blame for putting me in this position, no matter how much I tried to avoid the inevitable. “Just put your foot in the stirrup,” Natha coaxed. Sure. Only, it wasn’t just ‘just’ putting my foot in the stirrup. I glared at the iron, then up at the seat of the saddle, and back to Natha, who impatiently shifted on her feet. My fingers tightened around the stirrup leather, my other hand flexing on the pommel. “Want to switch places?” “Gods, no.” She pulled on Bejla’s reins to keep her still. I followed the mare’s movements, keeping my position close to her side. “But you’re running out of time.” I cast a glance at the stable and Arkyn’s office window. Gods help me if he was watching. I inhaled deeply, trying but failing to keep my limbs relaxed and hopefully transferring it to Bejla. I grew some grass in my hand with my powers and held it out to her muzzle. As always, she saw right through my bullshit. She clamped her large lips around the blades, hastily chewed, and went back to raising her tense neck.

Background is a brilliant image of space depicting many stars against a dark blue sky with orange and red toned galactic clouds from the Webb telescope. Images of the three main characters are drawn using glowing yellow to mimic constellations. Text reads: An Agent’s Guide to The Promise of Darkness.

Background image is of stars against a black, blue, and orange space courtesy of the Webb telescope. Title reads: "A quiz to find out if you'd love The Promise of Darkness. Quiz starts with an image of Queen's Shadow by E.K. Johnston labeled "You're a Sci-Fi Fan" and an image of Vespertine by Margaret Rogerson labeled "You're a Fantasy Fan." The choices branch off between being "here for the magic" with an image of Shadow & Bone by Leigh Bardugo, "here for the strong FMC" with an explosion emoji and "here for space and epic love" with an image of The Darkness Outside Us by Eliot Schrefer. All three options branch to text that reads "You would definitely love it."

Text on the left reads: "The Plot; When more stars dim in the sky of a dark planet, an astronomer aligns himself against the guilty pyromancer regime. He plots the impossible, relighting the planet's star, with the help of a girl with celestial magic and a lovable alchemist. If the star doesn't kill them, the regime just might." On the right is a hand drawn image of main characters Ballad, a young man with brown skin and long dark brown hair wearing black robes, and Calx, a young man with white skin and dirty blond hair wearing green robes. Calx kneels in front of Ballad in an homage to John William Waterhouse's paintings.

A woman awakens the soul in a magic mirror that was never meant to love and becomes the only reason he does, while the scholar courting her hunts relics like the mirror. LIGHT IN THE DEEP—a romantic fantasy for readers who crave slow-burn romance and lush, folkloric fantasy. #QuestPit #Q #A #F #RF

A moodboard for Light in the Deep by Kimberly Bridges. A collage of nine images arranged in three columns against a misty forest background. Left column, top to bottom: a pale hand pressed against a dark glass mirror; intense light blue eyes partially obscured by mist; an ornate silver-framed mirror with a glowing, runic surface. Center column, top to bottom: a greenhouse interior; a young woman with long red-gold hair walking into a lush green forest; the title "Light in the Deep" and author name "Kimberly Bridges" in elegant serif font; ancient stone carved with runes. Right column, top to bottom: two hands barely touching; a close-up of a man's dimpled smile; a stack of worn books with a floral teacup on top.

A book pitch graphic for Light in the Deep by Kimberly Bridges, white text on a semi-transparent dark green background, set against a mossy forest. Text reads:

“Elowen Estaran has spent her life struggling with the nature magic her family wields with ease. She turns to the ruins in the woods, whispering her secrets to them, knowing they can’t answer.

Until one does.

Elowen discovers an ancient mirror and awakens the voice within: Caelum, an enchanted construct created without selfhood. When Elowen insists he is more than a relic and treats him as a person, Caelum develops a dawning sense of self.

Their bond grows in secret as her dormant magic stirs and Caelum learns to long for her in return—until she realizes her charming suitor Gwydion’s order hunts ancient relics like Caelum.

Elowen must choose between the man who offers her the world and the reflection who offers her truth. But Gwydion's order doesn't just want Caelum studied. They would strip him of his humanity to harvest his power. And her secrecy is the only thing keeping Caelum alive.”

A book comps graphic for Light in the Deep by Kimberly Bridges, set against a dark forest background with mossy ancient ruins visible at the bottom and misty light filtering through the trees at the top. A semi-transparent dark green text block at the top reads "Light in the Deep" in elegant serif font, with the subtitle "109k Character-Driven Romantic Fantasy standalone with series potential." Below are four book covers in a row, each with a descriptive label above. Left to right: "Ancient magic, living secrets in the woods" above the cover of Uprooted by Naomi Novik; "Enchanted soul, slow-burn heat and humor" above the cover of Swordheart by T. Kingfisher; "Folkloric academia, dry first person narration" above the cover of Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett; "Magical self-discovery, impossible romance" above the cover of Wild Reverence by Rebecca Ross. Below the covers, italic script text reads: "He was light and magic and I was flesh and blood. We were more than that too, but reality wouldn't let me reach for anything else."

A book quote graphic for Light in the Deep by Kimberly Bridges, white text on a semi-transparent dark green background, set against a dark forest with light filtering through tall trees. Text reads:

“Your presence brings a brightness the lantern cannot replace. But there is still a spark of you within it, and I am no longer alone in the dark.”

His words stirred through me like roots moving beneath the surface.
I knelt before the mirror, heart pounding, and pressed both palms to the glass.

“I’ve always wanted you to be in the light with me, Caelum.”

The glass shimmered, blooming with a sudden brilliance.
“If I could be with you in the light, if I could be more … I would choose it. For you.”

A shiver threaded down my spine. He felt impossibly close.
“You already are more. You can be anything you want. I’ve always believed in you.”
