In honour of #QuestPit and the upcoming #SmoochPit showcase, here's an updated #agentsguide for THE BOG PRINCE, my upper #YA #RF about a necromancer who reanimates the bog body of her kingdom's long-lost prince. 💀👑 Maybe some secrets are better left buried... 🖤 #agentguide #Q

"An agent's guide to THE BOG PRINCE by Julianne M, a 99k word YA fantasy romance."

The pitch...

Eighteen-year-old Everin Lockett’s dreams of returning home from ruthless Wyverith College are shattered when she manifests a forbidden necromancy magic that reanimates the bog body of her kingdom’s lost prince. If the college discovers the truth about her abilities, she will be conscripted into their brutal army,
doomed never to see her family again.

Desperate to guard her secret, Everin strikes a deal with the long-lost Prince Byrnan: if he helps keep her power hidden, she will help him solve his centuries-old murder. But when Byrnan’s quest for justice could be the very thing that endangers her last hope of going home, Everin will need to confront the true cost of
falling for a lost prince with nothing left to lose—and a kingdom to reclaim.

Pictures of book and album covers in ornate antique frames. The text reads:

For fans of...

Yearning and bog bodies (Hozier's debut album)
Dark academia and lyrical prose (A Study in Drowning and Curious Tides)
Haunting gothic atmosphere (One Dark Window and Florence + the Machine's Lungs album)
Slow-burn romance (Divine Rivals)

Snippet...

A fork of lightning split the rain-soaked sky in two, and the ground trembled with a deafening clap of thunder. But even after the rumbling faded, the bog still shuddered beneath me, swelling and quaking like a pair of lungs drawing their dying breath. I lurched away, my heart jolting against my throat as I scrambled back through the mud.
Another crack of lightning.
And in its wake, silhouetted against the flash of violet light—

A single grasping hand,
clawing its way out of the earth towards me.

Flags: Reluctant hero, sibling redemption, spooky humour (cinematic, not silly), kids vs supernatural threat, sentient minions, Goonies style ensemble cast.

An excerpt from a sentient Barking Spider's journal - the spider is British gentry and pompously complains about the witch's promise of exquisite stink not being fulfilled and how the locals have spritzed him with a rosemary-mint abomination.

An Agent's Guide to Careless Whispers a 97K Romantic Suspense

Pitch & Plot
With their multiple homes and a business portfolio of luxury hotels, the Constantines' lives might be a world away from 29-year-old Listy Powers’ but Troy and his sister Olympia are like family, an unlikely yet close bond forged years ago at university. So when she learns Olympia, badly injured in a car accident, is back home on the Greek island of Paxos, Listy sets off immediately to see her. Being at their villa, however, means unavoidable proximity with Olympia's very disapproving eldest brother whom Listy has always loved. When they first met 8 years ago, Kris was a married man with a pregnant wife; now he's a widower. But as the attraction they'd fought back then re-kindles, suspicions resurface about Kris' wife's death. Rianna had not been well-liked. And everyone has something to hide. As she unravels what happened, the truth threatens everyone's future happiness and Listy must decide if crossing that line to protect someone she loves is a price worth paying.

Opening Lines -
As the song fades, she hears the footsteps behind her. She doesn't rise from the lounger or look round. Just rolls her eyes and takes another gulp of wine, fixing her gaze ahead. Beyond the villa's perimeter wall where the wooded slopes fall away, the sea glimmers under the silver coin of a moon.
'I told you to leave,' she says, her voice slurred. 'It's over. There's nothing more to say.'
'I have plenty to say.'
Her head whips round then. She smiles.

Snippet - 'When she died,' Olympia says in a hard voice, 'I was relieved. All I could think was, we're free of her now. Now we can begin to be happy.'
Listy's face spasms. 'But you're not,' she says. 'None of you are. It scares me, Olympia, all this hate. So much hate. Troy has it too. It's like...like it's eating him up. Rianna's dead but she might as well not be, the hold she still has on you all.'
Olympia begins rummaging in the drawer again. 'You didn't know her. You wouldn't understand.'
'I want to. Tell me what happened.'

Black book cover with a white rectangular border. At the top, small handwritten-style text reads “A (very) dark rom-com.” The title “TWO, PLEASE” is centered, with “TWO,” in white and “PLEASE” in bold red, rough brush lettering. Below the title, a black-and-white illustrated anatomical heart pierced by a dagger radiates stylized lines. In the foreground, a man and a woman are shown from the shoulders up against the black background. Both have wide, anxious expressions and their mouths are covered with duct tape—black tape on the man, silver tape on the woman. The man wears a light gray sweater; the woman wears a coral-orange top. At the bottom, white text reads: “By the author of Dad Bodies: B. van Bodegom.”

The image, made with free non-AI stock pictures, shows a horror-comedy novel cover titled "DAD BODIES." The top of the cover reads "THE GAME JUST TOOK A DAD TURN" with "DAD" in a different color.

The background features a haunted house with multiple towers and illuminated windows against a dark backdrop. At the center is a 20-sided die (D20) used in tabletop role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons, with visible numbers including 1, 7, 13, and 19. The die is surrounded by red blood splatter effects.

At the bottom of the cover are six men with expressions of terror and shock. One man is wearing a white shirt over his head. These men are the dads referenced in the title.

A cunning prankster plots against her lord husband and ends up saving the empire in a fantasy romcom version of A SONG TO DROWN RIVERS X HOW TO LOSE A GUY IN 10 DAYS 😈 unlikeable heroine ⚔️ enemies-to-power couple 💑 marriage of convenience 🔥 slow-burn & low spice #questpit #Q #A #RF #agentsguide

Agents guide for Lady Han's Manual for Matrimonial Mayhem, 91K adult fantasy romcom, revised through SmoochPit 2025 mentorship

Pitch - She planned to be the terror in his life. He planned to ignore her. Neither planned on saving a crumbling empire from a tyrant—or falling in love.

Twenty-year-old Wen Anling would sooner commit murder than give up her home and freedom. But with no way out of her arranged marriage to Han Shiyan, the wealthy Lord of Qinglan, she devises a plan: let him be the one to beg for divorce… once she transforms 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. He struggles to see any good beneath Anling’s heavily powdered face, overly red lips, and shrill screams, but when she continues to get under his skin, he cannot help but grow intrigued—especially after catching his first glimpses of the real Anling beneath her prickly exterior.

While Anling wrestles with her desire to escape the prison of marriage and he

Extract & Tropes

The not so meet cute...
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. An eyesore was an eyesore no matter how virtuous it
might be.

$BABEL ON CALLISTO Querying February 2025 @saraduranauthor sara.duran@bsky.social COMPS The Mountain in the Sea by Ray Nayler, labeled “isolated research station” and “philosophical alien threat.” The Salt Grows Heavy by Cassandra Khaw, labeled “queer, visceral horror” and “love as a consuming force.” The Deep Sky by Yume Kitasei, labeled “psychological unraveling” and “fracture under mission pressure.” PITCH “On a lunar prison outpost, two exiled men uncover a cosmic presence waking beneath the ice. As their uneasy alliance against it twists into something tender and terrifying, they are confronted with the one thing they never expected to find on a dead moon: a reason to live. But the ice is thinning.” TASTE “Neither spoke as Elias bypassed the security protocol on the keypad. The metal hatch shuddered as it unlocked, slinking back to hidden panels in the wall. They cleared the first few floors with carrion precision, methodical as Dermestidae stripping a carcass to bone. In Elias’s imagination, the gore thinned into something vaster—the time-lapse unraveling the ruin from above. Wordlessly, corridors were scoured to nothing as he and Jack moved like insects beneath an overhead lens. As the hours dissolved, their work became abstracted into a cold anatomy, intimacy pared away as cleanly as flesh from the frame until only the architecture of survival remained. When Jack hacked into the collapsed doorway to the next stairwell, Elias marveled at the contradiction: how those same brutal hands had, only that morning, traced him with the delicacy of a scalpel.”$

Themes and Tropes: Closed-Setting, Folklore, Contemporary, Mythical Creatures, Loss & Reconciliation, Remote Island, Maine, Women's Retreat, Ancient Curses

Summary: What ancient evil resides within Rose Bluff Island’s iconic pink granite?

Hoping to decompress after the death of her mother, Nan attends a retreat at an idyllic Maine Inn. But nothing has prepared her for the arrival of Faye, who claims she is Nan’s half-sister.
