F/NB WAYFARERS x MURDERBOT x SOMEONE YOU CAN BUILD A NEST IN Everything fell apart when the human came aboard. Instead of nice meals and quiet cargo runs, Tai's stuck with bickering crewmates, sinister criminals, explosions, and worse, a human who wants to be friends. #QuestPit #SF #A #Q #R #LGBT

Mood board/Agent's guide for my novel CARGO - a queer SF/heist/romance - 113,000 words

"Did you hear? There's a human on board."
A graphic of the wall of a spaceship with sticky notes and polaroid photos taped up. There are twinkle lights hanging from the ceiling.
alien ship's cook (fussy, anxious) + terrifying monster (ordinary human)

PITCH:
Tai’s terrified of humans. Everyone is. Violent pack hunters, humans are notorious for their strength, sharp teeth, and carnivorous appetites. But the ship’s cook is safe among the multispecies crew of the cargo hauler Coreward Baker: everyone knows the warrior species rarely leave their own space. Then Captain Raz hires Clarke, a human horticulturist.
Even after Tai overcomes their fear, they can’t stand Clarke. She’s bossy. Annoying. Useless in the galley, bad in a space suit. She might as well be cargo. Worse, she’s intent on befriending Tai—and why can’t they stop thinking about her, anyway?
That’s when things go wrong. As Tai starts to realize their feelings for Clarke, they’re horrified to learn that nobody on their crew of dropouts and runaways is quite who they seem, least of all Clarke. And it’s no coincidence. Raz reveals they’ve each been handpicked for a heist he’s spent years planning—and no one’s allowed to say no.

PRIORITIES:
make dinner
remain cozy
haul cargo
go for drinks
pull off one last score
try not to fall in love

FIRST PAGE:

“Did you hear? There’s a Human on board.”
I choked on my noodles and turned to stare at the diners at the next table. Like most of the restaurant’s patrons, the pair had hidden their profiles, a halfhearted attempt at anonymity.
“Gross,” the speaker’s crewmate said, oblivious to my alarm. “I hope it leaves soon.”
“Don’t let it hear you say that,” the first worker laughed. She made a show of looking for Humans, her eyes darting from table to table.
It. I frowned. I knew the workers’ language distinguished between people and things, and ‘it’ was an unkind choice of words at best.
The second worker shuddered. “I don’t know why we let them come here.”
The first laughed. “Are you going to stop them?”

COMPS:
Murderbot by Martha Wells
Someone You Can Build a Nest In by John Wisewell
The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers

TROPES:
Non-binary narrator masking anxiety with sarcasm
lying to themselves
non-human perspective (afraid of humans)
neurodivergent main characters
metaphorically disabled protagonist
slow-burn friends-to-lovers and enemies to lovers in the same relationship
disabilitynorm and queernorm setting
found family
loveable pet/terrifying monster

When Annora's betrayed, she enlists the help of criminal Madoc to enact her revenge, but when her quest unravels the truth of a trade in wyvern scale and a long awaited prophecy, she must choose between vengeance and justice. #QuestPit #RF #W soon to be #AG and hopefully #OS in 2026!

Comp titles: House of the Dragon, A Fate Forged in Fire, The Knight and the Moth, Throne of Glass, Six of Crows, A Tempest of Tea

Most brides would think a storm on the eve of their wedding an omen, but for Annora Rainecourt it was the greatest blessing she could receive. Because a storm meant chance of a sighting. And what could be more thrilling than that? She scoured the skies as lightning flashed, illuminating the distant castle and the manor dwellings around it in a shock of monochrome clarity, and there — beyond the turrets — she saw her first of the night. Thin membrane, spindly tendon and bone, that unfathomable combination of sharp claws and curved edges, swiftly flying through slick rain and thick cloud until the darkness crowded in again and she lost it.
Annora smiled to herself. They always liked storms. The wyverns.
“They’re quiet tonight,” she said, staring out of the lancet window as rain lashed against the panes.
Lucan rolled on the bed to face her, the sheets draped between his legs as if she hadn’t been privy to what was beneath them moments ago. “Or perhaps they’re beyond sight,” he said, and ran a hand through long, light hair, pushing it back from his slim face.
“The view from here is perfect,” she murmured, frowning.

*BIG FIVE EDITOR INTEREST* When a heroic ancestry and truths of an old war surface, a guilt-stricken girl races to free her imprisoned friend and subdue a radical foe while a hesitant prince debates whether remaining loyal to the crown is worth the moral turmoil. #Q #YA #F #questpit

an agent's guide to awakening by o.c. umeghalu

"the pitch" - For Cindren Alacaster, guilt is her anchor as much as it is her jailer. Thrust upon a whirlwind journey to rescue her friend from certain death, she finds that the abnormality of her golden eyes speaks of a heroic ancestry whispered amongst the forsaken. Something once slumbering has manifested within her, forcing her hand in rallying against an emerging threat and painting her destiny as dark as the cloak she was born to wear.

As the country’s prince, Nazar Heiron should know better than looking to follow his own heart. But the stirring of longing he’s hidden deep within forces him to walk the razor-thin line of desire and treachery for the only girl he’s ever loved: his personal sentry. And when the truth of the last war to be fought on his country’s soil emerges, he must decide whether or not to put into practice once empty words that championed justice or finally step into the hypocrisy he’s believed to nurture.

themes/comps - Forged Family (the Gaang, Quil and the others)

Reckoning with Inner Turmoil (guilt, indecision, shame, responsibility)

Ancestral Abilities (think Aang’s/Corayne’s birthrights)

Bloodied Crown (think Zuko grappling with the Fire Nation seeking to conquer the world/Corayne looking to close Spindles opened by her uncle)

Looming Global Threat (ie: Firelord Ozai/Taristan)

Romantic Subplot (different love interest for each MC)

Complicated Sibling Relationship (ie: Azula and Zuko)

Betrayal (ie: Aiz and Quil)

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

Made from non-AI free stock images.

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: A novel by B. van Bodegom

Black and white sketch of characters Bill and Sonny. Bill is a dark featured man in a suit and kind of a Mark Ruffalo vibe. Sonny is a rotting corpse man with a cardigan.

"I HAD ALWAYS TOLD MYSELF IT WAS A FIGMENT OF MY IMAGINATION, THE MIND PLAYING TRICKS.
IT WAS JUST A SHADOW. BUT NOW THE MONSTER HAD BEEN GIVEN A NAME, AN IDENTITY.
IT WAS REAL."
Bill Baker wants nothing more than to marry the woman he loves, but when his wedding is interrupted by a rampaging hell-beast, his life is thrown into disarray.
Desperate for a second chance, he will do anything to set his future back on track.
Now, with the help of a soul-collecting reaper named Sonny, he must uncover who is releasing monsters from Hell, in order to earn back the life that was stolen from him and prevent the oncoming end of days.
Faced with the choice between what is right and what is easy, Bill may have to sacrifice all he holds dear for one last shot at life.

Editor's Guide To MARK OF A MAGPIE
Crossover Romantic Fantasy
118k Words

Text is on a piece of parchment. Behind the parchment are blue seas and gold flower outlines.

Blurb

One for Sorrow, Two for Joy, Three for a Girl, Four for a Boy…

Ryn is a small-town thief who has a knack for being overconfident in her abilities, but by day she’s a beloved tavern girl with the liver of steel that carries her reputation. On her most daring break-in yet, she runs face first into the kingdom’s last living assassin, Seven, and he’s just offered her the opportunity of a century: a ticket of attendance to the King’s upcoming courtship gathering. It’s a partnership she’d be a fool to take up, but with her family scattered across the sea after the draft, a fool is what she’ll need to be to find them.

Five for Silver, Six for Gold…

Seven is set on his own plans, however much they interfere with hers, and they won’t be the only ones in attendance with hidden agendas. Once whispers of the past begin to resurface and nobles begin dying around them, it’s survival of the cunning and silver-tongued. The castle is under lockdown, and all bets for the crown are placed on their capture.

Seven for a Secret, Never to Be Told.

Text is on a piece of parchment. Behind the parchment are blue seas and gold flower outlines.

The Atmosphere:
There is a collage of pictures on a parchment paper. Picture one is of a boy crouched down with his head covered as a fire burns in the background. Picture two is of two hands tied to a pole on the beach. Picture three shows a person wrapping up the wounded hand of another. Picture four shows an old piece of parchment with unreadable script. Picture five is of an island with a castle and small village surrounding it. Picture six is of a girl on the run with a dagger in hand. Picture seven shows a bottle of alcohol. Picture eight has a medieval alleyway. And picture eight shows a ship's crew enjoying a sunset.

There is text below the collage that says: ON SUBMISSION NOW!

Dark forest. An agent's guide to The Blessing Returned. Adult fantasy. 98,000 words.

Dark forest. Pitch. Idealistic Hana Hahl lives in a world that is slowly dying after a failed quest to bring back magic. The only ones left with power are self-serving royals and dark mages, while desperation has given rise to an anti-magic order. Caught up in a mystical event, Hana is blessed with an immense power that could restore nature to the world. As Hana struggles to control the overwhelming force, Lady Kalyn Nossi, the only known survivor of the disastrous quest, directs her to the one person who can help her. Matthias Azel, the failed chosen one, reluctantly agrees to teach Hana while concealing his past from her. Accompanied by Kalyn and a charismatic prince with a dangerous secret, they journey to seek answers about Hana’s destiny. They fend off demonic threats and the anti-magic forces as Hana struggles with magic that seems to resist her and a growing fear that the world isn’t meant to be saved.

A dark forest. Comps. Nausicaä. One Dark Window. The Starless Crown. Godkiller. Final Fantasy VII Remake. Tropes. Chosen One (s)? Ecofantasy. Dieselpunk. Grumpy/Sunshine. LGBTQIA+. Multi POV.

A dark forest. Snippet. She took a cautious step forward, unaware she was in a spectral form. Little drops of shimmering light followed her path, dissolving into the ground. “But this has to be a sign?” Grass grew where the light fell, delicate bits of nature that should be impossible. “Maybe it’s returning!”
The young woman spoke with such bright reverence as if life was a fairy tale and magic was all they needed for a happy ending. It was as if she couldn’t see the shadows approaching her. The inevitable death.
“Magic should never return.”
After speaking those words, he sprang forward and shoved her away from the shadows. Pain rocked him as soon as he touched her. The scorching mystical agony tore a scream out of him, but it kept her away from the unearthly menace, and the shock did what he intended.
Sent him back to his body.

PRACTICAL MAGIC x THE SEVEN YEAR SLIP Stealing a grimoire did a lot more than give Flo back her dreams. Now she has magic in her nail art and a soulmate when she sleeps. It’s just her luck when she realizes her dreams are here to teach her a lesson in love and magic. #Q #PR #A #QuestPit

a messy and dreamy collage of a man with his button down shirt open, a man offering his hand and a woman taking it, an art piece with the quote “I feel my magic”, a woman with gold nails touching her knotless braids, white candles lit and dripping of wax, tattooed legs, Smokey quartz crystals, a woman in a white dress standing inside a lily pond lake, tarot cards, and tea in a tea cup sitting with dried herbs, a cauldron and a candle. On the side is a frame of Claude monets painting, a ripped clock, dripping gold, tape holding up a dried flower, and more.

Tylor & Naveena are keeping secrets: he can talk to the dead & she is Death herself. No mortal can do what they do. The day they meet, they discover they've been looking for each other. Can they work together to save a missing girl, & themselves, before it's too late? #QuestPit #W #A #S #F #PR

There is a grid of nine square photos.

Top row, L to R: 1) A dark mosaic floor is covered in tall lit candles. 2) A woman kneels in front of a colorful ofrenda, arranging flower pedals and beans into a skull on the floor in front of it. 3) Naveena, a British-Indian woman with brown skin and long dark hair, stands in front of a wall covered in foliage, dressed in black. A colorful rose and marigold crown sits on her head, holding a black lace hair covering in place. Her face has white lace patterns painted on it that mimic both mehndi and a skull and she is wearing bright gold earrings, a lace choker, and wine and white bangles. She is looking to the side warily.

Middle row, L to R: 1) A small doll is positioned in front of a mural. The doll is dressed in a black suit, has a skull face, and has a pair of antlers. 2) A skeleton with a top hat sits on a table covered in brown fabric. He is bent over as if tipping his hat. Behind him is a bright green wall with a toothy, colorful skull painted on it, surrounded by king snakes. On the table are other items like a pineapple, candy, and a cross. 2) The top of a spired tomb spikes out into the pale sky, surrounded by empty tree branches. 3) A woman is holding a boy's hand as they look outside at a tall skeletal papier-mâché woman on stilts smiling back at them.

Bottom row, L to R: 1) Tylor, a pale Northern Irish man with long, dark curly hair and wearing a black suit, is standing in front of the dark blue door of a mausoleum. Half of his face is a skull, and his brow is furrowed. 3) There is a little chair with a fuzzy white blanket on it sitting on a concrete floor. On the blanket is a red candle, a cross, a white statue of a veiled woman, and a framed sepia photo of a group of people. Other framed photos sit beside it.

All This Time X You've Reached Sam They met in a hospital waiting room, fell in love on a mountain, got torn apart by a landslide. And then he called her. Once a night, for 7 nights. Until she forgot him. Until they found his body. Were they lovers? Worse, they never got to be. #questpit #W #YA #R

If “Euphoria” and “Get Out” had a baby and left it on the beach to rot in the sun, this is that book. In a world where billionaires can buy forgiveness by erasing memories, remembering becomes an act of rebellion. #Q #A #S #LF #T #questpit

THE KNIGHT AND THE MOTH x DOWN COMES THE NIGHT x DO NOT GO GENTLE INTO THAT GOOD NIGHT x THE ARRIVAL #RF #A #Q #LGBT #OwnVoices #questpit

A light blue background with the pitch of the book, When Time Runs Out of Death. “In a world where power is in the mastery of pain, a disabled healer survives devouring agonized souls; every day, she reaps despair and revels in the shadows she casts from it—until one day, she was caught wielding forbidden magic by a prince, putting her life and anonymity at risk.”

A nine-square collage of pictures. On the left column, from top to bottom: black-and-white thorns, knight clad in armour, hand holding a sword. Middle column: two people kissing, but one is half-submerged in water; hands reaching for each other underwater; a couple dancing under the night sky. On the right column: a pomegranate with seeds splattered on a black surface, skulls, foggy and gloomy lake landscape.
