Picture of a snake. Text: An excerpt. “What’s your name, ghost girl?” Carsten asks, his lips quirking up in a half-smile that feels like a challenge.

I try to seem unbothered as he takes his time, walking back to the leather loveseat across from mine. He sits down slowly, soaking in my attention, but I can’t take my eyes off him. His arms stretch out lazily on the back of the chair, a prince of darkness surveying his domain.

The room warms. So warm that sweat prickles the back of my neck. I glance at the clock over the fireplace again. Terror wraps around me like the snake dancing on his forearm. I need to get out of here.

He cocks his head to the side, waiting, and I debate lying. There are no benefits to a demon knowing your name. Except my mind is blank. I can’t remember any goddess-blessed name except my own.

MONK & ROBOT X EMILY WILDE When a blight strikes, an optimistic archivist must track down her hero's fabled garden with the help of an archaic engineer—but secret origins and disillusionment lurk between hard drives and petals. ☀️ Solarpunk 🌷 Floriography 💚 Enby LI #QuestPit #W #A #SF #R

Floral background with the text Mending Glass. By Florrie Auclair. Solarpunk Romantic Sci-Fi

Character portrait of a blond woman making a heart with her hands. Juniper Penrose. An archivist specializing in botany. She idolizes the old world botanist, Miriam, who helped lead the resistance centuries ago. Optimistic and a little reckless, she seeks to uncover the past and find Miriam’s garden. Her drive to help people, sometimes comes at her own expense—like the reason for the mechanical leg she now cherishes.

Next to that is a character portrait of a nonbinary character with light blue eyes and duotone hair in black and blonde. Eli Winter. An aloof engineer who specializes in old world infrastructure programming trying to prove their skills are just as important as the nouveau programmers of the city. They leave their home and grandfather to help Juni break into archaic servers and hard drives—and often pull her out of trouble.

Comp slide with Horizon Zero Dawn, Emily Wildes, A Psalm for the Wild-Built, Violet Evergarden, and Fruits Basket. The text pointing at the various media are Ruins of a fallen industrial world, Solarpunk, Flower Motifs, Traveling to help others and find self discovery, Joyful but melancholic character connections, and Sunshine MC x Sunshine Protector

Data is as fragile as flower petals. That’s why Juniper, an archivist in a recovering solarpunk world, wants to immortalize the past in the Glass Archives. Safe from time’s decay, unlike the archaic hard drives of the old world. Specifically, information on her hero, Miriam, a botanist who legend says grew a garden of resistant plants—ones that could survive the blight ravaging their crops. But to find it, Juniper will need the help of Eli, an engineer who specializes in old world technology. Together they traverse ruins and follow a trail of flower language from village to village to unearth what led to the dark age of information. But Juniper starts to question her identity when they uncover that the woman she modeled herself after was not the hero she believed.

In the center is a quote by Virginia Woolf: “I see you everywhere, in the stars, in the river, to me you’re everything that exists, the reality of everything.”

Run. What a powerful instinct.
Emma Bridge had wanted nothing more than to be with her two siblings in a home that felt safe, but those wishes never came true. With nothing left to lose, Emma runs away from the spotlight of the Hills to a small town across the country, but this new home is anything but the safety she’d been after.

The weight of the world has fallen on her shoulders, and she can’t carry it alone. But with her old name in every police station and her new name on every tongue in town, she’s not sure who she can trust to help carry the burden.

What we know:
-Runaway in Hiding
-Fake Identity (turned real identity)
-Mental Health Rep
-Genderfluid and Pan Rep
-Found Family
-90s Small-Town Nostalgia
At the bottom, the name Emma Bridge is crossed out and replaced with Peyton Freys

💖 SHE’S THE MAN x ICEBREAKER, BUT MAKE IT E-SPORTS 🎮 To join her dream esports team, Cam let everyone assume she's a guy. Now all she has to do is survive the captain, who's sure she's the weak link — without falling for him first. #Q #R #A #questpit #agentsguide #amquerying

Last Pick by Ruchi Dave is an e-sports romance novel, complete at 75k words.

Cameron Day has always felt like a loser—except in the video game League of Champions, where she dominates. So when an esports team mistakes her for a guy and recruits her, she doesn’t correct them.

But to Jacob—their ruthless (and distractingly hot) captain who’s already seen one ex-teammate implode under pressure—she’s a risk they can’t afford. If she cracks, they all go down with her.

The only way forward is to prove she’s not a liability, but the key to pulling them out of freefall.

Moodboard for Last Pick. Professional esports gamer vibes.

Snippet for Last Pick

“The others got over it much sooner than you did.”

“I didn’t want to complicate things.”

“Why would I complicate things?”

“You know why.” He tucked a stray hair behind my ear, and my skin felt electric where his fingers brushed against me. I leaned into him as his hand slid to the nape of my neck, tilting my head toward his.

“What happened to keeping things professional?”

“This is professional,” he murmured. “Kevin and I do this all the time.”

FOR METTLE & MOSS is a gender-swapped A Knight’s Tale set on a sky island where tournaments are replaced with ruthless, Survivor-style trials. A cynical lady knight and an anxious lord must stop their world from falling… while resisting falling for each other. 🌕🌖🌗🌘🌑🌒🌓🌔🌕 #questpit #A #RF #Q

For Mettle & Moss is a 108,000-word, dual-POV adult fantasy romance standalone. The background shows lightning striking across a dark sky and the tagline says “Caledin could fall from the sky. Fate* has chosen them to stop it. (*Fate has a terrible sense of humor)”

The pitch: An anxious lord and a cynical knight have three moons to succeed in a series of trials to keep their utopian sky island home from falling—and to keep from falling for each other. Another tagline: If they fail, they fall. The background shows a marble bust of a woman against a black backdrop.

Comps include: The Everlasting and The Knight and the Moth (for lady knights), The Games Gods Play (for chaotic gods), Survivor and Shar’s Gauntlet in BG3 (for unique trials), The Comedy of Errors and A Knight’s Tale (for vibes), and sounds like Sleep Token’s This Place Will Become Your Tomb album. Background is a knight in shining armor against a black backdrop.

Tropes include forced proximity, he falls first, she falls harder, one bed, idiots to lovers, fate versus agency, reverse bodyguard (she is the strong one). A quote from the novel: “We’ve had to be twice as tough to be seen as half as good.” The background is a man’s hands, with ringed fingers, against a black backdrop.

It’s a fact 82-year-old Dorris learns when an uppity gnome arrives on her doorstep and declares she’s the Chosen One… sixty years late. Now Dorris must exchange her books, cottage, and weekly visits with her best friend Beryl for a noble quest. If she refuses, the kingdom of Grit (and Dorris’ beloved home library) will burn to ashes. Will the octogenarians break the sixty-year curse as prophesied? Or will Beryl’s shady past with dark magic reappear and doom them all?

Twenty-five years ago, men made history. But HER story will change everything… 🌊 Multi-POV 🌊 Feminine rage / ‘Good For Her’ 🌊 Horror elements 🌊 Orcadian folklore 🌊 Atmospheric setting 🌊 Twisty plot 🌊 Editor interest #questpit #Q #A #HF #agentsguide

Text: An agent’s guide to The Ballad of Agnes Day, a 112k upmarket historical novel. Image: Two vintage-style mermaids with their tails entwined and a blood spatter across one corner.

The pitch: When a storms wrecks his islands’s passenger steamer, sparing only a girl believed to be one of the monstrous Finfolk, a grieving musician must uncover who she really is before more of his people die. Moodboard: Evil-looking mermaids, a violin, poisonous mushrooms and passenger steamers on stormy seas, with a moody blue-green hue.

Comps: The Sirens by Emilia Hart, Jamaica Inn by Daphne du Maurier, The Square of Sevens by Laura Shepherd-Robinson as book covers

The snippet: ‘Are you seeing this?’ he cried. ‘Do you see them?’
Dazed, Morton peered around him. All he could see was the black oil spill of the water, its steady surge and release. ‘What do you mean?’ he called back, blood thundering in his ears.
Edward’s eyes grew glossy with tears. Then he began to jerk around like a petrified beast, causing the boat to lurch beneath them. ‘They’re everywhere,’ he said in terror and wonderment. ‘They’re coming for me.’
