A dark, blue themed collage. It says: An Agent's Guide to The Earth-Shattering God. A 87.000 word adult fantasy novel by Lucia Judinova. In the middle is a veiled, mysterious woman, the sea angry behind her. Then a cropped picture of angry eyes, a clipart of a dagger and a vial. A quote that says: The feminine is not dead. Nor is she sleeping. Angry, yes. Seething, yes.A pitch. The background is brown and white themed, dark, a group of women from the back, all wearing white robes. It says: On the 100th anniversary of the gods' banishment, a common thief, Danny Jame, accidentally uses her divine, elemental power and garners the attention of a ruthless cult wanting to bring the gods back. The priestess they send is everything she is not. Bianca is infuriating and beautiful, but mostly brainwashed by her Order.

The pain receeded and Danny collapsed to the ground, scraping her elbow. "I wanted to see if it worked. Terribly sorry about that. I'm Bianca." "Don't... care," Danny pushed through gritted teeth. Aftershocks of pain rocked her body, muscles tensing and unclenching.
"I had no other choice, I'm afraid." Bianca knelt at her side. The rage channeled in Danny's gaze did not scare her off. She had the nerve to smile down at her. "You are a Link.

TRAIN FROM PLATFORM 2 X WE USED TO LIVE HERE X TELL-TALE HEART Hamlet, flipped on its head Dual POV (sibs Ophelia & Laertes) A private train to a will reading 2 snowed-in murders & a haunting F/F enemies to lovers to— ❄️Querying soon❄️ #questpit #agentsguide #A #T #H #W
Moodboard for ALL ABOARD: a shadowed knife, a train with headlights on in the snow, a screaming, indistinct face, a skull in a palm, mist-capped mountainsFeatures: forced proximity, unreliable narration, f/f enemies to lovers, power and influence, survival, identity and paranoia.

Pitch: When Sam Hambrook, heir to the Hambrook potato chip fortune, is found poisoned and stabbed aboard his family's snowed-in train, his ex-fiancee, Poppy, scrambles to solve the crime despite interference from her brother, Lars—whose desperation to cover up that he stabbed Sam is merging with a haunting only he can see.Snippet for ALL ABOARD:

The lamp flickers and a strange energy thrums through the train. Panic claws at my insides. I sense it before I see it: a hooded figure gliding through the closed gangway door. It leeches the forest green from the wallpaper and the gleam from the mahogany hardwoods as it drifts toward me, leaving a drab gray in its wake, and why oh why is no one else so much as flinching? Why is Poppy still asking investigative questions over Sam’s dead body?

I’m the only one who can see it.

The only one it can terrorize.Comp books: "We Used to Live Here," "The Tell-Tale Heart," "The Train from Platform 2," "Hamlet"

Accursed Moon Soul 🏴‍☠️😈🗡️ The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi x One Dark Window An ex-pirate searches for a cure to a strange mark left by the crew she betrayed, but her past will catch up and consume her mind and soul, no matter how far she runs. ~ #agentsguide #agentguide #QuestPit #Q #A #F #DF
In the centre is the logo for 'Accursed Moon Soul', the pictures surrounding the logo from left to right - a ship wheel, someone falling into water, a woman holding a glowing orb, a ship sailing through fog, a woman in a row boat, a manta ray, the same woman from the third image bloodied and holding a sword, a hand touching their reflection, and the silhouette of a woman with red eyes'Evelyn Farrow is an infamous ex-pirate who is haunted by the night she murdered her crew. The same night she was branded with a strange mark when she wanted no part in her crew’s dealings with a devil.
Determined to put her pirate days behind her and find a cure, Evelyn has lied her way into a new crew of faithful and upbeat treasure hunters. Whilst chasing a rumour of a hidden artefact, the mark finally awakens, and an otherworldly voice makes home in her mind. An alteration to the strings of fate has bound them together, and in order for this entity to reignite a centuries-long grudge with the gods, it needs Evelyn to obtain this artefact by any means necessary.

Unending nightmares of that fateful massacre serve as a reminder of what she’s running from, and as the mystery surrounding the mark and this entity unfold, her lies begin to unravel. Freedom lies in finding the courage to face her past, or she risks losing the crew that would sail to the end of the world to save her.'Graphic to display comp titles and tropes, the three include The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi by Shannon Chakraborty, One Dark Window by Rachel Gillig, and Baldurs Gate 3 by Larian Studios.
The text reads from left to right:
Dark pasts, pirate/sailor fmc, psychological horror, found family, 'own voices' mental health rep, queer cast, alter-ego, high stakes treasure hunt, battling internal monsters, 'bantering misfits' group dynamicOn top of a dark underwater background, the text reads:

'Waves crashed against the lone pier as the sea waited to drown me.
          I had no recollection of how I got there, teetering like I was on the edge of a great precipice. The dense fog and heavy stench of brine disorientated what little of myself I still had some control over. I stared out into the nothingness. The nothingness stared back. 
          This was how the Manta Ray and her terrible legacy would finally come to an end. 
          I’d had one tattooed across my back, in commemoration of the title. Its white markings were intentionally skeletal, with a wingspan that wrapped around my shoulder blades. Now, the ink prickled, wanting to remove itself as much as I was desperate for it to. The name had meant something once, before it became an ironic joke. The creature’s alternative name of devilfish was a dull ringing in my ears. Every waking moment, the reason why haunted me. I’d had enough. - Chapter 1'

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.

A mood board with an off-white parchment top section bearing the text: "'Does it happen now?' His soft voice echoed through the emptiness. The raven blinked at him. This was an ancient bird in an ancient cave. Archer could feel his youth like a dagger, piercing through something which previously lay unmarked. He both did and didn’t belong there, and everything in the space reverberated that same sentiment of liminality. 'No,' came the bird’s tinny voice. Archer let out a breath. 'Not yet.'"

THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY x THE RAVEN SCHOLAR 👁️ a gay seer burdened with saving the world 🚒 a butch lesbian firefighter he convinces she's the Chosen One 😱 a Fear based apocalypse set to end everything Without a real Chosen One, what could possibly go wrong? #Questpit #A #F #LGBT #ND #Q
Opening page to agent's guide. Text: Agent's guide to You are Not the Chosen One, an adult queer fantasy by Melanie Locke. Placed at the center of an artdeco frame with black and golden coloring Part two of the agent's guide. Artdeco background with black and gold. Pitch: When Seer Cass learns there's no Chosen One to save the world from a Fear based apocalypse, he tells firefighter Esti she's the Chosen One. If she ever learns he lied, the world will end. Comps on the right with covers and a poster. The Umbrella Academy season 1 poster, the Last Hour between World, the Raven Scholar, Dark Rise. Snippet. Same background as previous picture, with messy paper on top. Text: “How did it feel?” she asked, voice soft. Careful. 
For a moment he looked at her, eyes like broken glass. He sat up, fists clenched. “Bad! It feels fucking bad, okay? But it doesn’t matter. If I have to kill one man to save a village then that is what I will do. You can’t save the world without getting blood on your hands. And the worst thing is, it didn’t even work.”
Esti didn’t know what to say. Cass stared into the distance, arms wrapped tight around his body. He’d never looked so small before. And yet Esti knew what he was capable of. It mattered little how he felt, his sorrow didn’t bring the mayor back. And perhaps he would have died no matter what. Perhaps Cass had done the best he could in impossible circumstances. But Esti couldn’t forget he’d murdered a man in cold blood. 
“I didn’t ask for this, you know.” Bitterness spilled out like a basilisk’s venom. “Being the seer meant to stop the Fear, having only one year left.”

One is blonde with an annoyed expression, the other is dark haired and grinning, making a peace sign with one hand and poking the blonde's cheek with the other. below, superimposed over a smartphone, are the words THE VILLAIN EDIT (attorneytrash)At twenty-six, Max Reilly is already ex a lot of things. Ex-star of Affinity, the TV drama he led for three seasons. Ex-fiancé of Holly Aveline, his costar, who hasn’t spoken to him since the scandal that tanked his career. And ex-darling of the show’s fan base, who went from love letters to death threats faster than the speed of cable. 
Most of all, Max is exhausted. The last thing he wants is to be back in the public eye. But when offered a deal to get out of his contract for good, it’s hard to resist—even if the catch is a pre-season publicity tour with Affinity’s current cast. Even if that means weeks on the road with not only his former castmates, but also the show’s newest cast member: Nico Mariani, a scandal-happy reality TV transplant known for exclusively playing villains. 
It’s only a few weeks. A few weeks facing crowds of people who actively hate him, of being hounded by gossip columnists, of being trapped on-and-offstage with Nico, who Max can’t shake to save his life.  
Because as it turns out, Nico has his own deal with the producers—and soon angry fans and nosy reporters will be the least of Max’s problems.EXCERPT:
	Nico’s first thought on seeing Max Reilly in the flesh had been, damn, this dude’s tall. 
	He wasn’t sure what he’d expected. Rory Harper, maybe, that archetypal boy-next-door who’d bit the dust at the end of Affinity season three. There was this one publicity still of him—white t-shirt, jeans, flannel tied around the waist, artistically placed smudges of grease—that was pinned to the vision boards of church-and-chevy girls nationwide. Oh my god, so dreamy, fuck me in a hayloft, etc.
	Max Reilly was a very different creature. Nico had him cataloged in one go. Indoorsy, sleepy eyes, hair unfortunately cut with the roots grown in. Skittish. Bad posture. Cargo pants (seriously). He didn’t dress like America’s Boyfriend, or anyone’s boyfriend, honestly, if we were being totally honest here, if we were being candid. He was, to put it nicely, nothing to write in your diary about. 
	Tall, though, damn. And those freckles. But that was the devil talking.

Coming soon to agent inboxes! • • • ANNIHILATION x BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN 💫two exiled men (and their secrets) 💫one lunar prison (and its horrors) 💫a cosmic entity that wants them dead 💫the love they’ll lose if they don’t survive #SF #H #R #LGBT #amquerying #QuestPit
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.”

CABIN IN THE WOODS × JOHN DIES AT THE END When their detective friend is murdered at their annual gaming retreat, 5 dads must rely on years of #TTRPG experience—and puns—to solve the crime before they're all killed off like NPCs in a badly written supernatural campaign. #QuestPit #A #H #MY #Q
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 dark, blue themed collage. Is says: An Agent's Guide to The Earth-Shattering God. A 87,000 word adult fantasy novel by Lucia Judinova. In the middle is a veiled, mysterious woman, the sea angry behind her. Then a cropped picture of angry eyes, a clipart of a dagger and a vial. A quote that says: The feminine is not dead. Nor is she sleeping. Angry, yes. Seething, yes.A pitch. The background is brown and white themed, dark, a group of women from the back, all wearing white robes. It says: On the 100th anniversary of the gods' banishment, a common thief, anny Jame, accidentally uses her divine, elemental power and garners the attention of a ruthless cult wanting to bring the gods back. The priestess they send is everything she is not. Bianca is infuriating and beautiful, but mostly brainwashed by her Order. When Bianca learns Danny is her ticket to restoring the gods to their rightful place, she magically binds them together, forcing anny onto a reluctant quest to gather objects infused with godly
essence.The background is dark and blue, a hallway, some pillars. There are comps: The Knight and the Moth, The Priory of the Orange Tree, Sweet & Bitter Magic, Godkiller, Six of Crows, A Dark and Drowning Tide. There is also a snippet fron the novel: Her vision tunneled. Moments before Danny passed out, the woman finally hurried closer. "So sorry!" she called, getting nearer. The pain receded and Danny collapsed to the ground, scraping her elbow. "I wanted to see if it worked. Terribly sorry about that. I'm Bianca." "Don't... care," Danny pushed through gritted teeth. Aftershocks of pain rocked her body, muscles tensing and unclenching
"I had no other choice, Im afraid." Bianca knelt at her side. The rage channeled in Danny's gaze did not scare her off.She had the nerve to smile down at her. "You are a Link. A true, living and breathing Link. How wonderful to meet you." A blinding grin spread, showing incisors bent slightly to the sides. "We'll do great things together. Divine things, Daniela, absolutely divine."A dark collage: a woman raising rocks in the air, around a picture of a satin white robe, next to it a sweet, happy woman smiling, with long, blond curls. On the other side a picture of a medieval mercenary-looking outfit. Leather, boots, a dagger. Beneath a picture of a serious woman with short dark hair, face a little scratched up and bloody. Over the pictures, are the tropes and themes is bold blue lettering: girls supporting girls (rights and wrongs), powerful women, queer found family, sapphic love, forced proximity quest, battling propaganda and secret societies, magic stolen from gods with consequences, 'enemies to would kill for you' ragtag crew.
