Title: Pitch
Text: Niozene has never been good enough.

As daughter and crown heir to the Mother, a living goddess and ruler of her country, perfection is the only standard she’s ever known. Yet, despite her flawless scholar’s education and a polished career as a ranger, Niozene has failed to convince the Mother to look past her greatest flaw—she lacks the holy power to control the minds of others that ordains her family as living gods with divine right to rule.

When a shape-changing assassin nearly kills the Mother on Niozene’s watch, she is stripped of her titles and given an ultimatum: return with the assassin’s head, or face excommunication from both her homeland and the afterlife. Desperate, she accepts the task as a final chance to prove herself and show the Mother she deserves a place as her daughter.

Allowed only the help of Sonsan, a surly tracker and criminal also facing excommunication, Niozene dreads that she may have lost her chance at redemption before she has even left home. But when Sonsan reveals that he shares the same strange shape-changing power as the assassin, Niozene realizes his assignment to accompany her is more than coincidence. As they track the assassin deep into a forbidden land, confronting demons, ancient magic, and the ghosts that haunt their dreams and blood, they must uncover the truth behind their quest—and the buried history neither knew they shared—if they wish to live to see their promised redemption.

MOANA x SHADOW AND BONE A refreshed introduction to WHISPERS OF THE SEA, a YA Fantasy that will embark soon on its query journey. Featuring: 🌊 Native Hawaiian Rep 🌊 Cultural Identity 🌊 Setting as a Character #QuestPit #YA #F #W #OwnVoices #AgentsGuide

A refreshed introduction to WHISPERS OF THE SEA, a YA Fantasy that will embark soon on its query journey.

Featuring:
Native Hawaiian Rep
Cultural Identity
Setting as a Character

The second slide showcases the pitch:

WHISPERS OF THE SEA follows the story of a teenage girl who embarks on a journey to rescue her uncle after he was mysteriously captured by a group of uniformed men sailing under the royal flags of a faraway kingdom.

Keahi must voyage across the seas to this distant isle where she’ll team up with a boy to track her uncle’s whereabouts. But in order to understand the dangers that lurk ahead, she’ll be forced to uncover a lifetime worth of secrets—and she must do so before it’s too late.

The third slide indicates that WHISPERS OF THE SEA might appeal to fans of: Disney’s Moana, Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo, and Curious Tides by Pascale Lacelle.

The book includes the following tropes/themes: found family, self-discovery within cultural identity, Hawaiian-inspired mythology, and adventure.

The final slide includes a snippet from the book that reads:

“Keahi’s legs were immobilized as her body tried to make the decision her mind could not. The feeling was strange for she had dreamt countless of times about leaving the island, only to seize the opportunity and awaken to find that she had been sold a nightmare instead.”

BLACK MIRROR × SEVERANCE × THE GOOD PLACE Having a happy death is a luxury service for the rich and Wren is the rising top salesman—until a cynical coworker and a depressed billionaire force him to rethink it all in a world where even your last smile has a price tag. #QuestPit #A #S #SF #W

This image is a book cover design for a novel titled "Happy Death Inc." by B. Van Bodegom. The cover is divided into three distinct horizontal sections:

1. Top Section: Features a cartoonish blue sky with white clouds and a bright sun. At the top, a tagline reads:
"How much would you pay to die with a smile?"
The word "HAPPY" appears in large, playful, hand-drawn-style font, partially overlapping the sky background.

2. Middle Section: A photograph of a deceased man in a suit, lying in a casket. He has an exaggerated smile on his face, almost unnaturally wide and clean, suggesting artificial enhancement or post-mortem alteration. Overlaid on this image is the word "DEATH" in the same large font as the previous word.

3. Bottom Section: A cartoon city skyline in pastel tones, similar in style to the top sky background. The word "INC." is overlaid prominently in the same large font. At the very bottom, in smaller capital letters, it says:
"A Novel by B VAN BODEGOM"

Pitch: Ayanna is a spirit walker - a person who can see and communicate with those who have passed on - just like her ancestors before her. And if she's not careful, she'll be killed like they were, too.

When a creature from the dark tales of her ancestors mortally wounds her sister, Ayanna would do anything to save her.

Even if that means entering in a desperate bargain with the spirits to bring them what they seek.

Snippet: The foul stench always gave a jumbie away.

It towered behind the man that sat in front of me, its bloated, yellowing body reminiscent of a corpse left in the sun for too long.

Thick brown liquid oozed from its teeth, arranged in circular rows. The fat droplets lazily dripped onto the wooden floor.

Bored with her sea journeys and wandering into strangers' homes, sea folk Pearl swims at the chance to embark on land when a witch offers her legs in exchange for her voice. With a catch.

Faced with no choice, Pearl must evade the hunter's suspicions as she
attempts to woo the prince, refrain from stealing their possessions, and uncover a long-lost connection between her world and their own.

A Song to Drown Rivers meets How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days in LADY HAN'S MANUAL FOR MATRIMONIAL MAYHEM, in which the mischievous bride fights for divorce with chaos: 😈 unlikeable heroine ⚔️ enemies-to-lovers 💑 marriage of convenience 👑 political intrigue #questpit #A #RF #W (line editing for #Q soon!)

Agent's guide to Lady Han's Manual for Matrimonial Mayhem: 89K Adult Fantasy Romcom with low spice

Pitch: What can a girl do to escape an arranged marriage, but to prank her husband to hell and back in the hopes that he will divorce her?

In the Dazhen Empire, twenty-year-old Wen Anling’s comfortable life is turned upside down when her father forces her to marry Han Shiyan, the wealthy Lord of Qinglan. In a desperate bid for freedom, Anling fights chaos with chaos, by transforming herself into the nastiest wife possible.

Shiyan only married Anling to honour his mother’s dying wish. Had he known his new wife would send his simple life straight to mayhem, he would have thrown honour out the nearest window. But when his wife continues to get under his skin, he cannot help but grow intrigued by her eccentric nature—once he sees her irritating antics as what they truly are: harmless.

In the face of deadly threats, Anling must embrace her role as Lady Han and turn her cunning mind to their common enemies, or grab the freedom offered to her and watch the empire fall.

Comps: The Darkness Within Us, A Song to Drown Rivers, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days

Extract: Shiyan’s eyes widened for a heartbeat before he forced composure back onto his features. Her face was powdered with a thick layer of white, as if she had simply dunked it into a bowl of flour. Her bright red lip-paint smudged at the edges and… Heavens forbid women dab their cheeks with uneven blobs of pink.

Even the most senile and stern of his guests held their hands to their stomachs, straining to hold back fits of laughter. He would have gladly joined them, too, if he wasn’t the one with the honour of marrying this… this… buffoon.

He swallowed and recited the wise sayings of his forefathers: one should not judge a book by its cover; a woman’s beauty runs deeper than appearances; virtues are lasting while beauty is fleeting.

Oh, to hell with wise sayings.

VEILED ENCHANTMENTS - 80K YA FANTASY ✨current agent interest All Blake wants is to have the same power as the other teens at Holtsworth Academy. But as a mere hedge witch, she only has two options: stay in the shadows or steal the magic she has been denied. #QuestPit #Q #YA #F

n a school full of witches, Blake is the only one with no magic at all. She can assist but not participate. Observe but not engage. That is, until the Grandwitch arrives at the academy with a powerful necklace in tow. If Blake wants to escape her nameless fate and make her mark on the world, stealing it may be her only option.

Tropes and Comps:

Dark academia
magical academy
sapphic enemies to lobers
grumpy x grumpy
hidden family secrets
witches
lost gods

As she pushes swathes of long black hair behind her ears
and rolls up the sleeves of her turtleneck to the elbows,
I wait for her charcoal eyes to finally latch onto me, like a crocodile spying its next meal across the surface of the water.

But they never do.

She ignores me entirely, fixing her gaze instead on the skull between my hands. I can’t extinguish the flame of indignation inside me. In a more forgiving world, we would be equals. Rivals. But as things stand, I’m no more to her than the pile of dust on Eram’s desk.

When provided with the opportunity to steal a necklace containing immeasurable magic, hedge witch Blake Delacroix must decide whether to accept the life society has laid out for her or steal the power she has always been denied. #bluepit #Q #YA #LGBT #F

An image of a castle surrounded by forest. VEILED ENCHANTMENTS. YA FANTASY WITH DARK ACADEMIA AND SAPPHIC RIVALS TO LOVERS. COMLPETE AT 80,000 WORDS.

The blurb:

Seventeen-year-old Blake has spent her life studying magic at Holtsworth Academy with the hope of joining the ranks of the Royal Corps, an elite infantry comprised of divine witches descended from the gods. There’s only one problem: Blake isn’t a divine witch at all.

As niece of the headmistress, she is confined to the role of assistant and silent observer of the extraordinary lessons unfolding around her, her own negligible powers denying her full participation.

A spark of hope arrives when Blake learns that the Grandwitch has brought a secret necklace containing a volatile and immeasurable magic to the academy. Just as she finds a way to obtain it for herself, the necklace disappears and Blake believes she knows exactly who to blame: Maeve Moram, a powerful student who has always had it in for her.

What begins as a quest to recover the necklace results in Blake unearthing not only the hidden truth of her fellow hedge witches but also a deeper and darker power that she can’t begin to comprehend.

Comp Titles:

Every Exquisite Thing by Laura Steven (sapphic romance, rivals to lovers, generational trauma)

Wisteria by Adalyn Grace (familial relationships, lost deities, gothic-lite)

Snippet:

“It all comes so easy to you, and you don’t even deserve it.” I scoff. “Do you think the Corps would have selected you if your mother wasn’t Lady Death? I bet Adrien only sticks around to take the attention away from him being one of the Dregs.”

It can be hard to remember just how far down the gods’ bloodline he is when he’s lording it over me. But there is no forgetting just how close Maeve is to the power of Death herself.

“Where I get my magic from doesn’t matter.” She steps so close that I can feel her breath on my skin. Her eyes are slits, her teeth bared. “All that matters is that I have it – and if people want to make use of it, who are you to say otherwise? Just because you hate how small you are. How weak. You must drown in it.”
