Meghna wants to graduate high school without any more DRAMA But drama’s EVERYWHERE after friend-turned-enemy Oli begs her to star in a play WAIT she can use the show to reunite her family—the longer it’s broken, the harder it’ll be to repair & she can get revenge on Oli😏 #ProfilePit #YA #R #WIP

FMC Moodboard titled Meghna with six images. An empty classroom with rows of one-seater desks and chairs. A photo of a book and mugs of coffee sitting on a bed. A close-up of a pair of white headphones resting on a book. A young south Asian woman sitting on some stone steps. A young south Asian woman walking out of the woods reading a book. A young south Asian woman posing for a photo with a city background.

A quote from the book We’ll Never Forget by Neha Yazmin, spoken by the FMC Meghna: ‘Laurie says, “A fellow can’t live on books” but I think I could. Books, they fill me.’

Moodboard with 7 images: a teenaged girl and boy smiling at each other while leaning on the rails of a staircase. a young man alone on a beach, head bowed as if sad. A young south Asian woman sitting on some stone steps. A south Asian teenaged girl walking out of the woods reading a book. a young man filming with a digital camera. A close-up of a couple holding hands. The central image is an overhead photo of a desk with a script of Romeo & Juliet on it. The text across the centre of the moodboard reads we’ll never forget”.

The moodboard has the premise of the story written above it, which reads: “Oli wants to shine as Romeo and impress the film agents at the community centre’s Christmas play, desperate to achieve his dreams before it’s too late for his sick mum to see. If only Meghna—the girl the Director insisted on casting as Juliet—could act! His solution: Make Meg fall in love with him for real and wow the crowd. Meg doesn’t date though, and wants revenge on Oli for a past misdemeanour. He will need all his acting talent to win her heart.”

Welcome To Wychlith🖤 An acadamy that trains the next generation of Mages to serve Abel's army. There, combat trials force magic to the surface, victories raises a mage's rank & defeat costs a piece of the mage's soul. #ProfilePit #A #Q #Amwriting

A fantasy world guide page titled “Welcome to Wychlith,” displayed on a digital editing screen. The image is a collage of dark, atmospheric scenes featuring a stormy sky with lightning, a swirling vortex of darkness, flying dragon-like creatures, a shadowy forest, a burning castle, and a black-sand beach.

Text labels describe key elements of the world:

The Darkness consumes color and magic, shown as a swirling storm in the sky
Duirkathi are flying beasts whose dark feathers cast shadows that whisper curses
A dark forest on the west side of Wychlith where creatures lurk, with remaining light beyond it
The Algorithm transports mages to other realms and combat training
The Cage is a battle arena where losing costs a piece of your soul and winning increases rank
Black sand beaches are located on the east side of Wychlith

Red arrows point to different parts of the collage, highlighting each feature. The overall tone is ominous, magical, and dangerous, emphasizing a world where darkness is spreading and survival is uncertain.

A 3x3 collage of fantasy-inspired images. The images include: a table of potions and herbs, a woman with floral elements on her skin, a couple dancing under lights, a glowing cave with water, a burst of golden lightning or magical energy, an older man in dark clothing holding something mystical, a silhouetted figure with branch-like extensions from their arms, a purple-lit forest, and a bright sky with clouds. The overall aesthetic blends magic, nature, romance, and dark fantasy elements.

a character reference sheet with multiple portraits and descriptions arranged in two columns. Each character includes a small image and a paragraph describing their appearance, abilities, and affiliations.

Characters shown:

Isaiah: A young man with a dimpled smile, light blue eyes streaked with gold, medium-length hair, light beard, and tanned skin with golden undertones. Power: Alpha shifter, dominant over other animal shifters.

Raven: A small, eerie figure with gray-black skin, feather-like pixie hair, and crimson eyes. Power: Can shift into a raven; part of Kieran’s clan.

Byrim: A young woman with peach-toned skin and eyes, brown hair streaked with peach. Power: Awakening ability, later revealed as matter alteration.

Roman: A young man with pale, opalescent skin, light hair, and irises resembling opal branches. Power: Highly receptive through touch; part of Kieran’s clan.

Brekka: A ghostlike figure with long white-blue hair and pale skin, giving an ethereal appearance. Power: Air; part of Kieran’s clan.

Vermainious: A man with snake-like features, scaled light brown skin with yellow streaks, curly blonde-orange hair, and yellow eyes. Power: Snake shifter and traveler who can detect deceit; connected to Abel and responsible for Mahdilyn’s death.

Text reads: A glimpse of the Mages of Wychlith
A collage of dark fantasy character and world imagery arranged in a grid. The images include: a horned woman against a red background, a hooded figure in shadow, a glowing magical figure, a pale animal-like humanoid reading a book, and a couple in a field wearing dark, rustic clothing. The middle row includes a split mask representing dual identity and a castle structure. The bottom row shows a tattooed man, a woman in water, a cloaked dark figure, a green-skinned woman with a serpent-like tongue, and a red-haired fairy-like figure. The overall aesthetic blends eerie, magical, and supernatural elements with themes of transformation, identity, and dark fantasy.

Pitch
Journalist Rowan Adams refuses to let the death of her parents define her. Charlie Shaw, a brooding photojournalist, swore off women forever after being left at the altar. Together, they interview the sole survivor of a plane crash and unintentionally uncover the airline's secret purpose as hitmen and a surprising connection to Rowan's parents. Just as they give in to the attraction they've tried to ignore, a threatening email forces Charlie to betray Rowan and destroy her chance at justice for her parents.

Excerpt
Angela releases him, and I get my first look at the photojournalist every woman swoons over. His tan skin contrasts with the light blue of his button-up, the sleeves of which are rolled up to his elbows. His curly black hair and dark stubble give him a rugged look that would make me a little weak in the knees if I wasn’t already sitting.
“I’m so pleased you agreed to join us for this story! This is your partner, Rowan Adams.”
“Pleasure to meet you.” I stand and hold out my hand, forgetting it’s wet from the condensation on the iced latte I set on Angela’s desk.
“Likewise." he gives me the shortest handshake known to man before pulling back and glaring down at his wet palm.
“Sorry! I promise it’s nothing gross. Just water.” I grab my coffee and hold it up to show that I’m not a liar, but it slips out of my hand.
Time slows as the cup tips through the air and the lid pops off. The liquid douses his bag and my favorite flats, and I clap a hand over my mouth, horrified. His expression is less than amused.

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.'

$SNIPPET CHAPTER 1 The monster never gets forgiven in fairy tales. I've read enough to know. The grating rasp of my fingernails scraping against the already-torn skin of my fingers echoes through my bones. Rattling. Never settling. The air hums with overlapping sounds—a symphony of incessant buzzing that crescendos into an eerie ringing. I don't know whether it's coming from the electric lights that cast a ghostly halo onto the sidewalk beneath me or from somewhere deep inside my body where I can't see. It's suffocating. I imagine it's what being buried alive feels like. Having your lungs fractured into pieces too small to put back together. Or like drowning. But I know what that feels like.$

18-year-old Alyss Veylas wishes to attend Nocturne Collegiate for one reason—revenge. Five long years after her sister was murdered by the school's guardian, she finally gets that chance. Armed with a Moon Fragment granting memory magic and the aid of her ex and his new girlfriend, Alyss must confront the woman who took away the person she loved most.

CHAPTER ONE

The rain made it easier to rob his grave.

My shovel carved through the sodden earth, the water contorting into murky veins around its edge. Desperation drove each labored thrust, the burning ache in my muscles but an afterthought to the prize that lied in wait. Even the Valera Forest held its breath; the fog thick enough to smother the night's whispers. All was silent save for the spilling of soil under the deluge that drenched us.

Us.

As I lifted my gaze to the boy standing across from me, I found that word had lost all semblance of warmth.

Title: Pitch
Text: Corado is just trying to survive the night—every night. Being a nightrunner, one of the few brave or foolish enough to defy humanity's vampire masters to traffic himself and others across barony lines, doesn't make it any easier though. With vampire posses stalking the desert during the day and their ravenous Horde filling the sky each night, it's a miracle he's survived as long as he has. Some of it he chalks up to skill, some to instinct, but he knows that when the dawn comes, the main thing seeing him through the night is good old-fashioned luck.

Nothing lasts forever though, and Corado's lucky streak soon comes to a quick and bloody end. After nighttime attack from the Horde leaves him stranded in the desert with a newly-orphaned boy named Hectar, he finds keeping the rest of the world at bay may not be as easy as he thought. Newfound companion in tow, he sets out to find what remains of the boy's family and finally put the whole thing behind him.

But as he knows by now, no job is ever so simple. As he tries to escort Hectar to safety, whispers of rebellion start drifting on the wind. With a world free of the Horde beginning to look like a real possibility, Corado must face vampires, twisted monstrosities, and the darkness lurking in men's hearts before he decides whether the world he's cut himself out of is one worth fighting for after all.
