Andrea Homoya is revising as a ✨2026 #RevPit Winner!✨ @andreahomoya.bsky.social · 29/04/2026

🍺 She makes cider 🍺 💰 He makes money 💰 💦 Things are about to get juicy💦 CIDER SEASON | An upmarket contemporary rom-com. Currently revising as a 2026 #revpit winner. Re-entering the query trenches with a sub-ready manuscript in 6 weeks. #questpit #q #a #r #u

Background: A close up of a glass of cider with foam and carbnation bubbles.

An agent's guide to CIDER SEASON
2026 RevPit Winner
A 75K word upmarket contemporary rom-com

Background: A lake in the mountains.
Pitch and Plot
Two years after a devastating breakup left her jobless, homeless, and heartbroken, Phoebe Skiles has made a name for herself crafting high-end, European-style cider at Appelle. When Elise, Phoebe's best friend and CEO, hires a consulting firm to keep Appelle from shuttering its doors for good, Phoebe finds herself living her worst-case scenario: putting her professional life in the hands of Miles Newport, a finance bro with a toddler's palate. Miles is convinced the only thing that can save Appelle is ‘pivoting’ to a ‘consumer product’ with ‘mass-market commercial appeal’.

Phoebe sets out to save Appelle and discovers that there’s a lot more to Miles than cashmere sweaters and Stylus pens. He's working overtime to bring on a high dollar client to repay his estranged father’s investment and support his best friend's working-class parents. With so much already on the line, what are Phoebe and Miles willing to risk for love?

Background: Apple blossoms
COMPS: Emily Henry's Funny Story, BK Borison's Lovelight Farms, Linda Holmes' Back After This, Sarah Chamberlain's The Slowest Burn
TROPES: Slow burn; found family; rivals-to-lovers; workplace romance; unique setting; small business; big stakes; disastrous meet-cute; witty banter; emtional depth.

Background: A bunch of people reaching forward to cheers with their glasses.
OPENING LINES: Phoebe Skiles sat back on her heels and blew a sweaty curl out of her eye. No matter what she used—elbow grease, power washers, EPA-regulated caustic—the concrete floors never gleamed like she wanted them to.
If she could ask her 17-year-old self to predict where she’d be in ten years, on her knees scrubbing yeast sludge off the floors wouldn’t have cracked the top hundred. Teenaged Phoebe would have chosen something more professional: a custom power suit, a corner office overlooking downtown Seattle, a Brazilian Blowout.
Like most teenagers, Teenage Phoebe was an idiot.
After years of striving to rise above her circumstances, she was much happier in a warehouse than she’d ever been in a cubicle. But every job has its downsides, and the weekly deep clean of the cidery floors was definitely a downside.
A drop of sweat fell from her forehead into the puddled suds between her hands.
Okay. Sometimes she missed the cubicle.

Excerpt “Who are you?” she asks. “My name is Melody, I’m Lyra’s younger sister,” I say. “You two are identical.” I wish I could ask Lyra if she’s okay with Annie knowing everything. Better yet, I wish I could make her explain it. Her girlfriend, her problem. But I’m here alone, Annie is the one who saw Lyra last, and I want any information she can give me. It’s not like I could pretend I’m Lyra and ask why she ran out last night. I kind of need to tell her. I’ve never had to explain us. I don’t know where to start. It’ll be easier since she can already sense Lyra and I are different people. Somehow. But it’s still going to sound insane to a normal person. “I’m six years younger than Lyra. She died when we were kids, and I… I don’t know what I did but I saved her soul. I kept it.” I press my hand against my chest, careful to avoid the burn. “We’ve shared this body—my body—for over twenty years.”

Hook for romcom, with characters art.

And since he can’t throw away all those years of love, he must traverse an icy world full of wonder and danger to find an impossible alternate solution without being captured and before time runs out, or one of them will freeze to death.

Not Yet Corpses, a YA Horror Fantasy is querying now, featuring: 👿 angry trans sorcerer without a soul 🧟 the hot amnesiac corpse who won’t leave him alone 🐈‍⬛ the nonbinary kid wizard they rescue together 👹 angels and devils and monsters, oh my! #Questpit #YA #F #H #LGBT #agentguide

A black background with flames on the bottom. White text reads: YA Horror Fantasy, 85k words. A Not Yet Corpses Agent's Guide

A black background with flames on the bottom. Excerpt from Not Yet Corpses:
“So what do I call you?” he asks.
“Roy.”
“Just Roy?”
Even under the sepia light of the streetlamps, he radiates life. It’s off-putting. Downright annoying, when I think about it too long.
“Unless you want to call me Riordan Payne.”
He laughs. “Weird—I like it. Monster Hunter, Riordan Payne.”
“Not a monster hunter.”
As much as I want to punch him every time he opens his mouth, I can’t shake the pride settling in my bones, watching him do something as simple as running a hand through his hair. You’d never know he was dead an hour ago. I did that, and I'm not even sure how.
Beneath that pride, a primal fear coils inside me. If my patron ever finds out what I’ve done, there’s no telling what he’ll do to the corpse. But I’ve got a pretty good idea what he might do to me. I have to dump this undead body the first chance I get.

A black background with flames on the bottom. A Tropes/Comps graphic for Not Yet Corpses. Various orange arrows point to the cover in the center, depicting a pale, white-haired teenager wielding a knife and a handful of flame. Tropes: Annoyances to Friends to ???, Devil Deals (with red devil graphic), Stabby Trans MC (with cover of Ander Joseph White's The Spirit Bares Its Teeth), Goths Gays and Theys, Found Family, Accidental Resurrections (with cover of Aiden Thomas' Cemetery Boys), Combatting Oppression (with cover of H.E. Edgmon's The Witch King)

A black background with flames on the bottom.
Pitch: After Riordan Payne accidentally resurrects an amnesiac corpse, he'd do anything to get rid of it. He didn’t think ‘anything’ meant making friends with it, rescuing a kid wizard together, taking a road trip across the desert, or reawakening his humanity.

When his elf supremacist cousin threatens war, Letyf must confront his traumatic past on a world-saving quest—but he's far from a hero. To make matters worse, he's up against Lia, a world-hopping demon with a reputation to uphold and plenty of lives under her belt. #Q #A #F #Questpit #AgentsGuide

"An Agent's Guide to Distant Realm, Adult High Fantasy, Dual POV, 136,000 words." A collage of images set against a backdrop of a misty forest. The central images feature a worried blond man, looking away from the camera, a serious woman with dark hair looking into the camera, and a realistic engraved set of armor. The top image features armored soldiers attacking a large city. To the left, are two text clips, bookending a drawing of travelers in a sunny forest. The top text clip says: "Letyf realized all at once that he'd never seen anyone die before. A thousand thoughts raced in his mind, but they were like arguing in another room, muffled through walls." The bottom text clip says" "And what if your paths cross again?" "Well, if possible, and if my master commands, I'll kill him."" Below the images is a tagline: "...is one small world worth dying for?"

An idyllic forest in summer, with parchment over top, reading: "THE PITCH: Letyf Duilles has no place on a world-saving quest.

Roksa Morthir took everything from Letyf—his sight, his magic, and his future. Now, Letyf must defy his father, his people, and his endless self-doubt to stop Roksa’s war.

To Letyf, Crelan is home.
To Lia, it’s just one more, backwoods fantasy world.

A world-hopping demon, Lia has served heroes and villains hundreds of times before. If Roksa wants her to conquer his home-world, she’ll just have to do it with gritted teeth and minimal complaints about the plumbing. After all, she’s bound to obey—and why would a world like this be worth saving?"

THE COMPS:
Five Book Covers: The Magicians, Nine Goblins, The Goblin Emperor, The Bright Sword, and Brigands and Breadknives.
Text coming off of these books: "I can't Believe it's not Narnia"; "Magical Multiverse"; "Anxious MC"; "Naive, Fish out of water MC"; "No Romance, Deep Friendships instead"; "Classic Fantasy World Reimagined"; "MetaFantasy"; "Action Packed and Bloody"; "Knights and Warriors"; "Lots of Walking"; "ttRPG Player Approved"

Image of A sword, with accompanying text:

FIRST LINES: We landed in my master's home-world with enough force to buckle my knees. As I yanked the heels of my pumps out of the super-heated soil, my master turned to gaze around at the brilliant green hills of his land.
--
Letyf drew back his arrow, sighting down the shaft at a kingbird on a low branch.
The bird cocked its head, beady eyes darting around, but they passed right over Letyf, crouched as he was in the brush. He adjusted his aim, accounting for the faint breeze.
He exhaled, gave the string a touch more pressure, then released.
The arrow arced away—and missed the fat gamebird by a clear foot.

HEARTLESS HUNTER X SLAVIC FOURTH WING 🎭 She, a humble servant posing as Duchess, is his executioner-to-be. 🐉 He, the arrogant Dragon Prince, must save a kingdom from the encroaching Ever-Dark. 🖤 Neither anticipated falling for the one destined to be their undoing. #questpit #NA #R #F #DF #Q

A gothic-style book cover titled "Root and Ruin." Centered is a glowing, cyan-blue dragon coiled into a circle, its scales etched with faint, runic symbols. Golden, gnarled roots extend downward from the dragon like branching veins against the pitch-black background. Text at the top reads "Enemies to Lovers," "Fated Mates," and "Fake Identity," with "An Agent’s Guide" in the top right. Subtitle reads "80k • NA Slavic Romantasy," and the bottom logline says, "She is sent to kill the dragon. Instead, she might become his only salvation."

A graphic titled "The Comps" in golden lettering. It displays four book covers arranged in a grid: "Heartless Hunter" by Kristen Ciccarelli, "Fourth Wing" by Rebecca Yarros, "Shadow and Bone" by Leigh Bardugo, and "The Witcher: The Last Wish" by Andrzej Sapkowski.

A self-made fantasy illustration showing a halfway transformed, dark-haired man, Prince Konstantin Veliki, with a silver crown and dragon wings. He is carrying a woman, a humble servant Iva, masquerading as a Duchess Zora, in a long, flowing cream-colored gown as they fly through the air. She is his guest but unbeknownst to him, she is plotting to poison him. In the background, a sprawling forest surrounds a magic academy, Kolegium with colorful, traditional Slavic-style onion domes—gold, silver, bronze and green. Each of the domes represents air, water, fire and earth magic respectively. Snippet text at the bottom reads: "Do you always sequester your guests and take flight with them?"

A self-made illustration set in the catacombs under the magic academy, Kolegium, featuring classical-style statues on the walls. Iva, in dark armor, rides a bright, light blue-scaled dragon; it is Prince Konstantin Veliki in his dragon form.
They face off against a monstrous, ethereal shadow dragon composed of wispy, black smoke and glowing eyes — this is Konstantin’s fallen father Tibor Veliki. A brilliant golden sphere of light, relic of the Slavic god of light, Belobog, called Spark of Creation, floats on a pedestal between them. Text at the bottom of the snippet reads: "Let us dance, little one," the Shadow Dragon hisses in a dry whisper of the fallen. "A worthy foe," Konstantin responds. We take to the air to meet the darkness. Two gargantuan winged silhouettes hover in the abyss, suspended in a precarious balance. They mirror one another; two sides of the same coin, champions of Belobog and Chernobog.

#Questpit Mass effect x Treasure Planet "People of Humanity, we have been observing your Earth..." These are the word that came down from the stars when Humanity stood on the Brink. The words that offered them a Second Chance at life. 6 years later, our story begins. #Q #SF #SFF

In The Service of Gods & Admirals.

A Novel by

James Keller

People of Humanity,

We have been observing your Earth and know you can not survive. The damage done to your world is too great for any species to recover from. You lack the technology to escape but there is no reason why the Galaxy should have to go on without you.

In the name of our Goddess, the Lady of Crystal, I have declared the Uplift of Humanity from your ruined world. And have bestowed onto you a new planet to call your own. Where you can rebuild yourselves and live on under the light of the stars.

We offer you passage to this new world. To welcome you into the Galactic Community as Citizens of the Jada Empire. Under the protection of my court, the Assembly, and the Admiralty of the Royal Navy.

You will be granted all the rights and privileges as any other Citizen in our domain. We will offer all the assistance you require as you heal and grow on your new Colony. To help you find your place in the Galaxy.

The wars that have ravaged your Earth are not our concern. We seek not to pass judgement, but to offer a chance at peace. To survive as a people and as a culture.

To all who accept this offer, our ships will be arriving to evacuate you. Instructions will be broadcast to lead you to the evacuation zones. To all who refuse, you will be left alone without further interference. We mean no harm but we will protect our new citizens from anyone who seeks to prevent them from traveling to their new home.

I know that you do not know of us, of anyone beyond your Earth. but we do come in peace. We come in peace. All we ask is the opportunity for our people to get to know each other.

(Proclamation of Empress Celestia of House Praven, 2nd Born of Emperor Cerian)

A true-crime producer returns home to film a series on an unsolved serial killer case. When a new body turns up and threats hit her doorstep, she uncovers secrets linking the murders to her own past. What began as a docuseries is now a fight to survive her own story. #Questpit #Q #A #T #MY

Collage of six images. Image, one scattered police files and crime scene photos, image two, a White House with a red roof beside a lake with pine trees behind it, a Ouija board and tarot cards, and an overgrown cemetery with old headstones, crime scene tape. Text overlay reads: “She built a career unearthing other people’s secrets. Her own wouldn’t stay buried.”
