Things I didn’t know before I started querying but learned real quick proper pb structure , rhyming is not that popular. That leaving out that I taught ESL for 3 years wasn’t the best idea ( maybe going to add that to my new queries). A positive response doesn’t lead to agenting.

A MARVELLOUS LIGHT X PENNY DREADFUL When a mysterious being heralds the apocalypse, there are only two witnesses: Rowan and Darshil, bitter exes who must brave London’s occult underbelly and save the world from eternal darkness, all while grappling with their unresolved feelings. #questpit #Q #RF

Gothic Gaslamp Romantasy
Adult standalone
109,500 words

Pitch:
After their one-night stand ends in hurt, hedonistic occultist Rowan and repressed poet Darshil never want to see each other again. That plan is ruined when a being from beyond the grave heralds the apocalypse, and they are the only two witnesses.
Forced together, Rowan and Darshil plunge into London's occult underbelly in search of answers to the apocalypse. But as the Veil between life and death slowly thins, and old passions reignite, Rowan realises the truth lies in memories he swore to forget, and that the past is a shallow grave, easily unearthed.
Comps:
The Magpie Lord: gaslamp world, occult magic, big spooky house
A Marvellous Light: opposites attract, magical bonds
The Gentleman and his Vowsmith: second chance, steamy romance
The Resurrectionist: historical setting, self discovery
Penny Dreadful: Victorian gothic, seduced by darkness

Black cat x golden retriever
Yearning
Bisexual awakening
Second chance romance
Forced proximity
Only one bed
Opposites attract
Gothic decadence
Big spooky house
Exploration of grief
Horror as a metaphor
Dreams-based magic
The occult
Alternate London setting
Art shows a thin white person with short black hair, blue eyes, and an unimpressed expression, and a plus-sized South Asian man with chin-length curly black hair, brown eyes, short facial hair, and a soft smile.

It was a poet’s job to seek out beauty, to be mesmerised by it. Darshil wanted to transform Rowan into swirls of ink, to fit his hands into the slight dips where Rowan’s waist met his hips and write him a thousand times over.

The only thing more fascinating than death was the tormented living it left behind.
It helped to hate him. It was less painful than loving him.
The dead thing woke to the acrid stench of its own rot.
Rowan matched him tenderness for tenderness, giving everything he could and knowing that for once, his everything was enough.
Perhaps closing his eyes stopped it meaning anything. Darshil knew he should do the same. This was shame beyond anything else, a secret to take to the unloving grave.
He kept his eyes open anyway. With Rowan beneath him, as beautiful as the dawn, he couldn’t bear to look away.

In an alternate, magical Regency era, Lucy Korvas must hide her "improper" wings from high society while finding a cure for her curse, or she will be transformed into a crow forever. 📖 Pride & Prejudice x 🐦‍⬛ Howl's Moving Castle x 🪷 Graceling #Questpit #Q #YA #HFR #F #RF #HF #R #HR

A woman with large black wings attached to her shoulder blades.
Text: Pluck by Sierra Moeykens. Pride & Prejudice x Howl's Moving Castle x Graceling

An illustrated lady in a Regency era dress with large black wings over a ballroom background.

Text: The Pitch
Nineteen-year-old Lucy Korvas has worse problems than complying with high society’s tedious etiquette — she must steal a diamond necklace from the Duchess of Thistal, or her cursed father will perish.
In an alternate, magical Regency era where ladies and gentlemen with improper magic are shunned from high society, Lucy Korvas has hidden a pair of giant, unladylike crow wings beneath her dresses for years, but tonight she risks exposing them to save her cursed father. She needs that diamond necklace to afford his cure. How dastardly it is, then, when she discovers soft-spoken Lord Simon pilfering his own mother’s jewelry first.
But when Lucy and Simon are cursed while trying to steal the necklace, Lucy slowly transforms into a crow and Simon starts dissolving into flower petals. Lucy must find a cure while posturing as the presentable, composed lady that she isn't before she loses her cursed father, the shy gentleman she's becoming smitten with, and her humanity.

Three transparent symbols, a heart, a scroll, and a banner, with lists in each symbol. The background is a photo of white feathers.

Text: Romance. Slow-burn & Yearning. Cinnamon Roll x Chaotic Flirt. Touch-Starved. He Falls First. Historical. Witty Regency banter. Literal Ladybird (she's transforming into a crow). Dukes, Duchesses, and Pirates. Fantasy. Repressed Magic. Curses. Magical flowers with restorative properties.

Three book covers with an arrow under each of them describing their properties. The background is a photo of a lotus.

Text: Comps. A Lady's Guide to Fortune-Hunting by Sophie Irwin. Dry humor and witty voice. Half a Soul by Olivia Atwater. Accessible, creative world-building & magic. A Fragile Enchantment by Allison Saft. Regency romance with an abundance of yearning.

When a mysterious being heralds the apocalypse, there are only two witnesses: Rowan and Darshil, bitter exes who must brave London’s occult underbelly and save the world from eternal darkness, all while grappling with their unresolved feelings. Art by @kidovna.bsky.social #ProfilePit #Q #A #R #F

Dark past
Fiercely loyal

Not as cool as he pretends to be
Can walk through and alter people’s dreams

Hopeless romantic
Aspiring poet
Definitely Straight (don’t read all his poems about Rowan)
Complex relationship with his father
Maximum yearning
Chronic people pleaser
Repressed gentleman

Can see ghosts
A great listener
Very lonely
Lives in a graveyard for the vibes

Fashionista
Knows everyone’s secrets
The favourite child

Abraham Galloway escaped enslavement in North Carolina, became a Union spy during the Civil War and recruited Black soldiers to fight with the North. The fuller picture would include his work as a revolutionary and being one of the first Black men elected to the North Carolina Senate.

Abraham Galloway is the Black figure from the Civil War you should know about

Galloway escaped enslavement, became a Union spy and helped recruit thousands of Black soldiers to fight with the North, but his name has been largely left out of the Civil War narrative.
