The smaller birds have the BEST manners. As in, “ You were here first- I wouldn’t think of it!” Or if one does fly in, the bird who is already there defers, and flies off. . . So, in other words no “ Me first!” For them

A curious child “wonders what wonders” they’ll discover on their daily walk with Mama. They find beauty in the ordinary all over town. A tree’s tangled roots, an open kitchen window, a chorus of bird calls, colorful fall leaves, and a crunchy apple invigorate their 5 senses. #bluepit📖 #PB #SEL #Q

The author's collage describes her book with five images.

Upper left image: a white, tan, and orange bird sings on a bare tree branch.

Middle left image: a shiny red apple sits on a wooden table. Several green trees are in the background.

Lower left image: an old tree’s roots are exposed on the ground through fallen brown leaves. The roots are knotted and tangled like braids.

Upper right image: two sets of feet are shown on a black sidewalk covered with fallen leaves. One set is a child’s and one set is an adult’s. They are both wearing blue jeans and black sneakers.

Lower right image: Two large blue shutters are open. The view ahead is a pathway of fallen leaves and several lush trees surrounding it with yellow leaves.

A text box sits over the images. It reads the book's title: Wandering for Wonders. Comp titles are also listed: Wonder Walkers + Stickler Loves the World.

An #agentsguide to my graphic novel CLEOPATRA SELENE, a #YA #historical #GN with #fantasy and #verse that I #amquerying now! 🌒 🌓 🌔 🌕 🌖 🌗 🌘

An agent's guide to Cleopatra Selene, a young adult historical grahpic novel by Lara Willard

Comparative titles include Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up with Me for a graphic novel with a cathartic breakup, Everything is Poison and Hamilton for historical fiction with verse, plus a poisoner mom and a tragic writer, and The Lion King for cats and a parent's ghost. A series of emojis representing these things, including a skull and crown and Italian flag, are below.

Main characters: Fifteen-year-old Selene is haunted by her mother, Cleopatra, who appears at inconvenient times to offer life advice. Ironic, considering Cleopatra is, well... dead, and Selene has no intention of following in the great pharaoh’s bloody footsteps. Eighteen-year-old Ovid tried to write propaganda. But Cupid had other plans, and now Ovid can only write love poems. Problem? He has zero experience with love beyond an unrequited crush on Caesar’s daughter.

When Selene and Ovid meet, she’s given up any hope of returning to Egypt. He’s tasted the slightest success at spitting verses and is now taking a stab at being a pickup artist. Meeting Selene, though, changes everything. He has found his muse—not only in heart, but also in brains.
As Selene inspires Ovid, his poet persona starts to wax and Selene starts feeling herself wane. She has spent years avoiding her Cleopatra-ness in order to survive, but nobody really thrives in a patriarchy besides the patriarch. It is only when Selene discovers the truth about her mother’s legacy that she can finally accept herself for who she is—Cleopatra and Selene, together—that she can claim her story and write her own ending.

Troy shrugged. “Marv would’ve laughed.” The grin on his face faltered. Marv was lying in a pool of his own blood. The cause of death was clear, the hilt of the murder weapon protruding from his back. Since Marv was stiff as a board—not much different from his current state—they could rule out suicide. Marv was also more inclined to stab others in the back instead of himself.

“You look good.” His legs brushed against mine as he sat on the ottoman across from me.

I clutched the stem of my wine glass. “What do you mean?”

“I mean you look good.” His eyes moved from my legs to my chest, back up to my eyes. He bit his lower lip, trying to suppress his bedroom eyes.

“You as well,” I said.

Jade interrupted us to talk about wedding cake flavors.

By dinner, we were out of cocktail ingredients. Wine bottles were starting to empty. We had a big Christmas ham, a turkey and vegetarian sides for Jade’s wedding diet, Auntie Jenny’s latkes included. Jade got drunk long before we sat down and ended up eating the meat.

Comps and vibes:
- unique magic system
- relatably awkward heroine
- sentient objects
- royals, spies, mages, and chickens
- from zero to competent

Photo of cover of Uprooted (Naomi Novik) with text "Heroine with unexpected, quirky magic"

Photo of Assistant to the Villain (Hannah Nicole Maehrer) with text "A fast-paced, hilarious romp"

Background is faded flames

Themes and tropes (often subverted):
- strong heroine
- finding one's place
- underdog hero
- forbidden romance
- love triangle
- arranged marriage
- not enough bedrolls

Background is faded flames

First lines:

Seya strode through the palace as though she belonged; just another servant scurrying to do her master’s bidding. She had no idea what palace servants looked like, or whether they’d scurry, but playing make-believe helped keep her mind off more pressing issues, such as – for example – her impending death.
