MY BEST EARTHLY COMPANION – 87k After losing her family to the 1918 Spanish Flu, Anna seeks refuge at the isolated Applegate Farm. There, she falls in love with the farm’s ghost, Alonzo, only to risk losing him forever when she uncovers the secret behind his death. #questpit #Q #R #HF #PR

A collage of four warm, rustic images under the title “My Best Earthly Companion”: a sunlit forest path, a farmhouse porch with wooden beams and seating, two people holding hands in a grassy field, and a close-up of knitting yarn and needles on a wooden table.

The Pitch
After losing her family to the 1918 Spanish Flu epidemic, twenty-year-old Anna Clare rents the isolated Applegate Farm in rural Oregon, hoping hard work and fresh air will ease her grief.
Instead, she finds unexpected companionship in Alonzo—the gentle ghost bound to the land, unable to remember the life he once lived. But to build a future together, Anna must overcome debilitating guilt over her family’s deaths, Alonzo the limitations of his purgatorial existence.
Their fragile bond is threatened when Anna’s landlord, the powerful Mrs. Johnson, notices her son Cade’s interest in Anna. With Anna facing eviction and Alonzo trapped by his curse, the lovers are forced to confront the Johnson family’s buried past—a secret that could reveal the truth about Alonzo’s death, or cost Anna everything she has come to love.

A faded background of a period farm porch.
Open quotation marks. Chapter 1, Travelling
They were dead, and I was alive.
Hills and fields flashed by the window. My knuckles were white on the train’s narrow window ledge, my teeth clenched. All my joints ached from two days of constant tension, of fighting the iron bands that constricted my chest each time a familiar voice flashed out from my memory, vivid and loud.
It’s such a comfort to me, Anna dearest, that you…
Mother’s voice this time, tired, but still gentle. I flinched as the bands clenched sharply, like rings around a barrel, digging into my lungs.
I started counting, forcing myself to focus. One, two, three… The numbers squeezed out the memory of her voice. Four, five, six…
Distraction was the most effective weapon against the debilitating pain. That, and avoiding any reminders. Anything that would trigger the memories. Memories that gouged wounds so deep I couldn’t breathe. Memories of the time before…
Close quotation marks.

Beta Reader Quotes:
- I loved all the twists in the book
- The text flowed really well, very easy reading.
- I loved the pioneering/homesteading and business themes.
- I love that Applegate Farm is its own character.
- The writing has a lyrical, almost poetic quality. Your words are incredibly evocative.
- You could almost hear and smell what you were describing. You really made me feel like I was right there with the characters.
- The novel really drew me in and it felt like I was invested in Anna’s story.

Pumped to pitch ETERNALLY DEAD - my 107k paranormal romantic fantasy that explores what happens when an injured musician gets a second shot at stardom by joining an all-vampire rock band in the dangerous Vampire Realm 🧛‍♂️ 🩸🎸 #questpit #a #f #pr #rf #q #amquerying

Background of concert audience with giant vampire fangs floating above alongside the words "An agent's guide to: Eternally Dead, Adult Paranormal Romantic Fantasy, 107k words, by @katgoestoshows." A one sentence pitch is featured on bottom that reads: An injured musician gets a second shot at stardom -- only its by joining an all-vampire rock band in the blood-thirsty vampire realm. A red splatter of blood is splashed is corner.

Red and black background with red text at the top that reads "the blurb." The text below reads: Celia Sharpe's life-long dream of being a rockstar guitarist ended the day an accident wrecked her hand. Now a New York City concert photographer, she strictly focuses on making deadlines. But when Celia spots a mysterious stranger at a concert she can’t capture on camera, she abandons her job to follow him down an alley—only to be accidentally transported to the Vampire Realm.

Stranded and vulnerable in a world of dangerous monsters, Celia has one goal: return home ASAP. But the stranger she followed reveals that he's the bassist of all-vampire rock band Mortuus Aeternum (Eternally Dead), and he offers her a seductive opportunity: if Celia stays, the band's flirty guitarist Caliban will temporarily heal her hand so she can join Mortuus Aeternum. However, she must perform for audiences of blood-thirsty vampires, of course.

Trapped in the Vampire Realm with no way out, Celia is conflicted: she might be willing to sacrifice her freedom for Caliban's healing magic and a second chance at living her rockstar dreams, but she risks death if she doesn't find a way home. Especially when blood shortages are announced across the Vampire Realm. How will she survive?

Red and black background with a bright red title that reads THE COMPS. Below are four book covers and one movie poster that include brief descriptions beside them. The first is Fang Fiction by Kate Stayman-London and it's described as an urban fantasy in a vampire setting. Next is Bride by Ali Hazelwood, described as having a steamy romance and political intrigue. Next is The Serpent and the Wings of Night by Carissa Broadbent, described as having a human fighting to survive in a vampire world. Next is a movie poster for Almost Famous, described as music journalist + rock band = forced proximity. Last is the cover of Daisy Jones and the Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid, described as having a rock band with secrets and love triangles. The tropes and vibes section includes the following text: grounded fantasy, found family, diverse characters, plot twists, chronic illness rep, slow burn yearning, and twist on fated mates.

Red and black background with white text snd large red title that reds THE OPENING. Below the title is the opening of the book, which reads: Celia Sharpe slammed her palm against the closed subway doors, trying to pry open the cool metal with sweaty fingertips. The train had finally – finally – made it to the station, and she needed to get off. Now. When the doors opened at long last, she burst through them like a bat out of hell, charging towards the exit.
She couldn't miss the opening of this show, or it might be her last.

Below the opening is the word EXCERPT in large red letters, and below is text in white font. The following excerpt reads:
Caliban knelt beside her and took her hand, her breath hitching at his touch. A warm sensation transferred between his fingertips and her scar, a tingling feeling moving up her whole arm. She pulled back on instinct.
“What did you do?” she trembled, awestruck. The scar had vanished.
“It’s only temporary. Please play,” he said, his green eyes wanting.
The pain was gone. Gone. As if it had never been there at all. Her left hand curved around the guitar neck, hugging the strings. Overcome by the magic of it, Celia grinned.

FROM BLOOD AND ASH X RED QUEEN 110k-Fae Romantasy. THE LAST OF SPRING by Willow James Do the rules matter after they are broken? 💕Fated Mates 🍂Seasonal Courts ✨Unique Magic System 💔Lovers to Enemies 💪🏻Self Discovery 🔥Sparks of Rebellion #questpit #Q #A #RF

This is the title page for the book. In the background there is a forest ground with leaves and pick flowers. Slightly off center of the ground is a golden crown. In glowing letters across the crown says THE LAST OF SPRING (book title) above that it was “agents guide to” and below the title it says “this isn’t a fairytale.” At the very bottom of the page it explains the stats of the books “a fantasy romance by Willow James. 110k words- now querying”

The background is the same as the title page (all the pages have the same background). In glowing gold at the top it says “the pitch” and then under in white is the pitch. “ When straight-laced Xylia breaks the rules for the first time, she is thrust into the world of the Fae-betrothed to the prince and heir who claims she is the lost princess to the Spring Court. As he surrounds her with lavish affection and distracting balls, she begins to question everything when she meets his younger brother, who reveals a dangerous truth: the crown belongs to her and spring. Now Xylia must choose between the prince who claims to love her, the throne that is her birthright, and the heart that feels like home.”

All pages have the same background as the first. At the top of this page in glowing gold says “the comps”. There are three comps. Going from left to right. FROM BLOOD AND ASH- under it says the reason why it is a comp: “love triangle between two powerful men, political manipulation, & self discovery over time”. Next, RED QUEEN: “hidden royalty, betrayal, rebellion brewing under controlled society” Last, A COURT OF THORNS AND ROSES: “seasonal courts, magic systems, mortal to fae transition”

All the backgrounds are the same as the first. At the top in gold glowing letters “the opening”. Below in white letters is the first 3 paragraphs from the opening of the book. “I've never had control of my life. Even now, curling the last section of my hair in front of the mirror, a restless pull whispers that I don't belong here. At any moment, the edges could give way, and I'd be drawn into the life I'm meant to have. Something magical. Something that fits better than... this.
As a kid, I used to daydream I was anything but human. A werewolf. An elf. A fairy. In my more dramatic teenage moments, I even considered running away and hoping a vampire would capture me. Being undead would be easier than being inadequate.
I roll my eyes at my reflection and point the curling iron like a wand. "Stop it, Xylia. Rule two of going out—no beginning the night in a bad mood."”

At Deltavale Academy, obedience is currency. Speaking without permission? -50 points. For Skye, earning her release means overanalyzing people and anticipating their moves—until she discovers what the Academy is taking to keep the wealthy alive. 3 fulls are currently with agents. #questpit #Q #YA
