I’m surprised I don’t write more romance. Whenever I come up with an idea the first element I usually think about is any romance subplot.

Seven months since I pulled my last manuscript out of querying (and later shelved), and I am so excited to announce that I will be querying vamp wip: ALL MINE, MY HEART later this week (Wednesday, most likely). #agentguide As always, agents feel free to interact!

All Mine My Heart. An agent’s guide. Eighty-three thousand word contemporary fantasy with horror elements.

Over close up of black woman in glasses left eye.

Pitch. Ivy only has three concerns: graduating, getting into law school, and pretending to be over her ex-situationship. What is certainly not on that list is being turned into a vampire—nor being hunted by evangelical vampire hunters.

Photos of posters and book covers: The invitation (movie), A Dowry of Blood, Ninth House, and Immortal Dark.

Themes/Tropes

Metamorphosis: being remade
Vampires, magic, and the unknown
The pervasiveness of Gen-Z humor
Black, female rage
Details lost to time/death
Perception related to truth and justice
College Setting

Snippet

Ivy crossed her arms and looked out the window. It was a pitiful attempt at seeming unboth-ered. Cleo was only meant to be a ride home for her and Leah, a tight-lipped, unquestioning chauf-feur. Ivy supposed it was a ridiculous fantasy to ex-pect. And now she felt bare in a way she only felt in front of her family. She wasn't equipped with the tools to counteract the way her chest ached. She couldn't think of witty retorts to throw at her the way she did Leah. Couldn't use silence as cruelty like she so often did with Emerson. Instead, she was left with a stinging regret. She wished she hadn't called Cleo. She wished that, with a wave of her hand, she could repaint the memory in Cleo's mind.

The Dying Religion - KAOS x WITCHER x GODKILLER No one expected orphans to survive the war to end magic, instead they won it. Victory’s cost? The death of their God. “Do you know what it costs to be loved by a God?” “Tell me, how’s it pay to be feared by one?” #YouDeservepIt #agentsguide #A #F

The title cover to an agents guide for the project.

The background is a volcano erupting, streams of lava flowing across the page.

The words

“An Agent’s guide to” - in glowing orange surrounded by a black box.

“The Dying Religion” - in an echo effect in black and white font surrounded by an orange glow.

“Adult epic fantasy” - in glowing orange surrounded by a black box.

The pitch page for the project. The pitch itself is in a large black box with dashed orange borders, the word pitch intersects with the box and is in a black and white echoing font.

The pitch is:

No one expected orphans to survive the war
meant to end magic, least of all win it.
But victory’s price? The death of their God.

Now war returns to a still healing continent,
the enemy intent on slaughtering
the five remaining Gods.

and the children raised as Holy-War cannon
fodder must decide if they’re worth saving.

The background is a volcano erupting, streams of lava flowing across the page.

The comps & tropes page for the project.

The background is a volcano erupting, streams of lava flowing across the page. Every box is black with an orange, dashed border, and the boxes for tropes and comps have the appropriate title, partially intersecting the relevant title. The quotes do not.

Comps:

Kaos, Witcher and Godkiller

The quote “martyr, coward, traitor or fool. Your choice, really, you’ll serve our needs one way or the other.”

The quote “there is only one religion in war, and believe me when it’ll you it’s a godless faith.”

Tropes:

Gods pay their dues
Hero x villain
Found family
Heist into hell
Friends to lovers to enemies
Morally grey mc & villain
Magic comes with a price

A villain and hero page for the project.

The hero and villain both have information about the individual characters in two separate black boxes, both with orange dashed borders. The word “hero” and “villain” intersects the relevant boxes (right and left respectively)

The background is a volcano erupting, streams of lava flowing across the page.

Villain

The gods killed all he loved
Out for revenge on the gods
Brainwashed veteran
Waterbender
Raised as cannon fodder
Reborn as propaganda
In love with the hero

Hero:
Raised to be the weapon of the gods
Out to destroy the institution that forged him
Guilt ridden veteran
Electricity bender
Raised as cannon fodder
Remade as a national threat (not what graphic says but need to resave that one)
In love with the villain

In the centre is the quote “your first mistake was thinking that people like you and I were ever born to do anything but burn.”

With arrows pointing from hero (the receiver) to the villain (the speaker.)

an #agentsguide to untitledwip, a queer historical romance ft: 🛤️ an ex-con with a head full of numbers 🎼 a musical-prodigy-turned-shopkeeper 💰 a buried stash of blood money 📖 navigating family, love, disability, & selfhood in the 1930s #YouDeservepIt #A #R #HF #LGBT #amrevising (querying soon!)

PITCH & BASICS
111k words
Queer historical romance
Dual POV with flashbacks

Ten years ago, Nathan Gilliard turned informant on his family's Prohibition empire, damning his brothers to life in prison in exchange for a ten-year sentence of his own.
Now, he's released back into the world with one goal: earn enough money to get on his feet and spend the rest of his life alone and penitent, never forgetting what he did to his family—and why.
Taking a job in the small town of Aurora, Kansas, Nathan gives a false name and vague backstory to his new employer, the unexpectedly kind Lawrence Freburg. But Lawrence's kindness isn't all that catches Nathan off-guard—he has his own secrets, far from being the nondescript single father he appears to be, and as the two of them live and work together they only find each other more intriguing, admirable, and irresistible.
The closer they grow, the more Nathan is faced with an impossible choice: follow his long-held conviction of a life of solitude, or follow his heart and risk becoming the very sellout he was labeled so long ago. And when the real threat of Nathan's former life comes back with a vengeance, both men must face the consequences of holding their pasts too present—and decide how to seize control of their futures.

CHARACTERS
Art of Nathan (a man with short, dark curly hair and dark eyes, wearing a dark sweater) and Lawrence (a blond man with glasses, wearing a brown jacket and tie with a light blue shirt and navy vest) with accompanying moodboards next to them.

COMPS
Netflix's Godless
• Trials and tribulations of small-town midwestern America
• Running from the past, returning to the past
• Disability =/= disabling
• Unconventional family structures
We Could Be So Good by Cat Sebastian
• Twentieth-century
American life
• Queerness and homemaking
• Taciturn homebody x hapless yapper
• Roommates to lovers
Peaky Blinders
• Crime family. criminal brothers
• Costs of winning, costs of losing
• The (in)justice of vengeance
• Sometimes you have to get your hands dirty
Bonus! Sounds like...
Hozier's self-titled album
Babel by Mumford & Sons
Laurel Hell by Mitski

Nathan Gilliard digs his own grave as the moon sets and the first streaks of purple lighten the night sky. The half-rusted shovel works only marginally better than his hands at digging into the earth, but the repetitive motion has long since numbed his limbs. Sweat pools into pockets of ice as it collects on his scalp and back, trickling down his arms in freezing rivulets, but he doesn't pause. Half a mile away, the car he stole from his brother is cooling down, engine ticking in relief at finally being able to rest after three days of nonstop driving. Far enough from his digging that if anyone was truly tailing him-Christ, he hopes they aren't tailing him—they'd take some time finding him, but only as far as he could make it while hauling bags of money in arms trembling from lack of sleep. The money waits like obedient dogs, a haphazard group, the solemn image of the mighty Gilliard legacy. Two generations of hard-fought profit, stolen in a night.
Nathan thinks of the roar his brothers will let out when they realize what he's done, and digs faster.

With all the pitch events happening in the new year, I really want to make more friends! 💗 Hi, I’m Ellie (Michelle)! I currently have three WIPs in the lineup: - C. fantasy horror with vampires - Urban fantasy w/ dysfunctional lycan family - Epic fantasy with squabbling gods

Mood board for Ellie’s vampire work in progress. There are nine background photos. Top: a blurry image of driving past a forest, artwork of hands reaching toward a person, the door of a mysterious looking manor. Middle: a silhouette of a man opening curtains, close up of eyes with light blue eye liner, poster for season 1 of interview with the vampire with each character standing on a roof spike. Bottom: shot of a black woman looking at the camera tearfully, abstract artwork of a woman laying in the art with all parts of herself different colors, close up of a chest replaced by stars and a hand pressed against it.

In the foreground: cut out of a moth, statue of two people embracing each other, blood splatter, and a man reclining.

Note taped to image reads: what am I?

Graphic with a large image of an eye in grayscale, Scott McCall from Teen Wolf looking at his shadow of a wolf, a close up of a crescent moon necklace, a hand pointing a dagger toward their chest, a golden eye, and a peek at a misty forest. Covering all this on the right side of the graphic is a cut-out of a young man in a long-sleeved t-shirt.

Wolf and Man. It only takes one night. The tideholder forgives. The tidebreaker punishes. And the tidemaster maintains.

Foreground images: brown eye with necklace dangling in front, naked back of black woman, man wearing animal skull, woman in halo crown and white dress, under shot of powerful man smiling, disc torch next to a window.

Cut outs: woman with an African print shawl over right side of body, large sword, and ripped paper with text reading: Twelve, lift me! Twelve, free me! Twelve, heal me!

An agent’s guide to: “Mark of a Magpie”
YA Romantic Fantasy
119k Words

Behind the text is a piece of parchment paper surrounded by ocean water 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 with 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 definitely be a fool to take up, but desperation fuels ever decision she makes.
Five for Silver, Six for Gold…
Seven is set in his own plans, however much they interfere with hers, and they won’t be the only ones in attendance with hidden agendas. When the castle goes into lockdown, it’s survival of the cunning and silver-tongued. The rich are dropped like flies, and all suspicions are on them.
Seven for a Secret, Never to be Told.

The text is on a piece of parchment paper, with ocean water and gold flower outlines behind it.

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.

Behind the collage of pictures are ocean waters, with gold flower outlines surrounding it.

The Pitch
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.

Worlds collide when a dark queen's journey to break her curse forces her to take a human prisoner back to her realm. His brother will do anything to find out what happened, including infiltrating an exclusive nightclub where men seem to disappear. #P2Ppit #a #f #q #amquerying 📖

A graphic with wrath of a Wildflower in the center. Bubbles of text around it say: Morally grey, urban fantasy, cursed dark queen, two realms, dual pov, romance, missing brother, new adult

The pitch. Decades ago, the princes of Lucis realm cursed her before they left to take over earth. Liming the days she can cross realms to hunt them and forcing her to take a mortal soul each visit has made killing the princes difficult, but not impossible. Now she is finally closing in on the prince with the key to breaking her curse, but she doesn't know that one of the mortal monsters she took on her journey to vengeance has a very loyal brother. Ryland finally has the job he needs at greeds, the exclusive nightclub where his brother was last seen two years ago. As he gets closer to discovering what happened to his brother and a trail of other missing men, he meets a beautiful partner to help him with the hunt. Together they find that their government is lying to them and monsters are real. And they are hunting one.

Book comps: the book of azreal, city of gods and monsters, throne of the fallen

The playlist: horns by Bryce fox monsters by ruelle, control by Halsey, kill of the night, hbic, happy clever after by Gin Wigmore

The Dying Religion No one expected orphans to survive the war meant to end magic, let alone win it. Victory’s cost? The death of their God. When war returns, intent on slaughtering the remaining gods, the boys raised as Holy-War cannon-fodder must decide if they’re worth saving. #P2Ppit #f #UW

An aesthetic divided into 8 diagonal parts, at the centre on a black box is the quote “do you know what it costs to be loved by a god?”

The images are as follows, described from top left and following around in a clockwise manner,
- a man crouched to the ground, covering his ears.
- a dragon setting ablaze a town
- a man struck through the chest by lightning
- a ship afloat on the waters, on fire
- an army split down the middle to create a path
- an eye with fire burning in place of the iris
- a volcanic erupting
- old, rusted clocks

IWTV x NINTH HOUSE 🧛🏾‍♀️ When a college senior is given the choice to turn or die by an eccentric, self-proclaimed vampire, she's utterly unprepared for the sinister conspiracies that will force her to make another choice: fight or succumb. (1/2) #P2Ppit #W #UW #A #C #F #H

Same mood board except with two graphics of paper pasted on top. It reads a snippet from Ellie’s vampire work in progress.

But the pleasure in [REDACTED]'s face at seeing her succeed made her feel like a mouse beneath a pair of forceps. And he'd been staring at her the same way that night. The same opportunistic sheen in his eyes that a person about to scratch away a lottery ticket had.

I kind of hate when I know TONS of backstory and character details that don't fit into the book and thus will never see the light of day
