The Empire State Building went pink at exactly 9:25pm for Dolly Parton. Because of course they made it 9 to 5. That’s how you honor an icon. 🩷

Celsie is open to queries! 🥳 See what she's looking for...👀 #mswl "I'm looking for unique voices, atmospheric stories that pull you under from the very first page, and worlds that feel as intimate as they are expansive." @celsie-moseley.bsky.social Submission guidelines: buff.ly/OgAvhBX

Celsie is looking for unique voices, atmospheric stories that pull you under from the very first page, and worlds that feel as intimate as they are expansive. She is interested in themes that explore power, corruption, rebellion, class systems, climate change, liminal spaces, and intersectionality. In kidlit, she's seeking whimsical and heartfelt MG and high concept YA fiction. On the adult side, she seeks genre-bending SFF, horror, and book club/upmarket fiction.

In fantasy...
cozy/light to epic in scope, richly imagined worlds, fully developed magic systems, and complex character dynamics.

In sci-fi...
grounded, space opera, futurism (solarpunk, afrofuturism, arabfuturism, etc.), sci-fi horror with elements of the New Weird or horror that embodies the cosmic strangeness of space.

In book club/upmarket...
anything that fuses genres to elevate broader narrative themes and turn tropes on their heads, sophisticated, socially conscious thrillers/suspense, literary fiction, historical fiction, and speculative fiction.

In young adult...
high concepts and strong voices with a compelling emotional core in fantasy (either contemporary fantasy or secondary world), grounded sci-fi, mystery/thriller, and horror.

In middle grade...
anything from fantasy to realistic contemporary where there’s a perfect blend of whimsy, adventure, and heartfelt moments.

If that sounds like your manuscript, please send a short description and short bio (your query) + 5-10 pages of text pasted into the body of the email to querycelsie[at]contextlit.com (no attachments).

GIRL ON THE TRAIN X HUNTING WIVES Maureen knows there's more to the story as the struggling mommy blog of the former It Girl at her small town highschool goes viral when beautiful, troubled Lacey starts posting about her teenage son's disappearance This thriller is still a WIP #BluePit #T #W #A #📖

a pitch deck mood board featuring images that gesture at a washed out sepia tone: rural and small town landscapes and instagram-y photos of a blogger typing on a laptop and a boho woman in a sun hat, turned away. The images are arranged in a frame that evokes a film strip. Gold text reads "Untitled Sapphic Thriller. WIP by Ellie Rhymer"

the second page of a pitch deck: excerpt from Untitled Sapphic Thriller WIP by Ellie Rhymer:

"The youngest and the oldest a boy is ever going to be is sixteen years old. When a boy is sixteen, he’s been sixteen all his life, and he won’t ever be anything but sixteen. It’s always been the summer before junior year, and all the days of his life touch each other like the pages in a book, written down, past and future, into one endless present-now. You can read a sixteen year old boy cover-to-cover in one sunny afternoon by the lake, or sitting on the porch swing on the shady side of the house, or late into the warm cricket-night when it is still, and quiet, and dark.
Christopher Brooks was sixteen the summer he disappeared from Hometown, USA. He was sixteen then, and he was sixteen before, and he will never be any older than sixteen."

ETERNALLY DEAD explores how an injured musician gets a second shot at stardom--only it's by joining an all-vampire rock band in the dangerous Vampire Realm. When blood shortages hit the Realm, she's forced to confront if living out her rockstar dream is worth dying for🩸🧛‍♂️🎸 #bluepit #q #a #f #p #r

Background of concert audience with giant vampire fangs floating above alongside the words "An agent's guide to: Eternally Dead, Adult Paranormal Romantic Fantasy, 103k 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 that reads "the pitch." The text below reads:
After a concert photographer is whisked away to the mysterious Vampire Realm by the bassist of an all-vampire rock band, she must choose between living out her once-forgone rockstar dreams or her own survival.

Red and black background with red text that reads "the pitch." The text below reads:
After a concert photographer is whisked away to the mysterious Vampire Realm by the bassist of an all-vampire rock band, she must choose between living out her once-forgone rockstar dreams or her own survival.

Red and black background with red text at the top that reads "the blurb." The text below reads:
Celia Sharpe's 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 follows him down an alley—only to be accidentally transported to the Vampire Realm.
Stranded in a world of monsters, Celia has one goal: return home ASAP.
But the stranger she followed reveals he's the bassist of all-vampire rock band Mortuus Aeternum, and he offers her a seductive opportunity: the band's flirty guitarist Caliban
will temporarily heal her hand and chronic illness, then help her home. . .
only if she joins Mortuus Aeternum for one performance with a full vampire audience.
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 being trapped in the Vampire Realm for one year if she doesn't return home in 3 days. To make matters worse, a ruthless vampire lord has announced blood shortages across the Realm—making Celia the new primary food source.

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.

Amanda Gorman wrote this poem for Renee Good and that’s it for me tonight.

Post from Amanda Gorman’s Instagram that says

amandascgorman
Minneapolis, Minnesota
For Renee Nicole Good
Killed by ICE. on January 7, 2026
by Amanda Gorman
They say she is no more, That there her absence roars, Blood-blown like a rose.
Iced wheels flinched & froze.
Now, bare riot of candles, Dark fury of flowers, Pure howling of hymns.
If for us she arose,
Somewhere, in the pitched deep of our grief, Crouches our power,
The howl where we begin,
Straining upon the edge of the crooked crater Of the worst of what we've been.
Change is only possible, & all the greater, When the labour
& bitter anger of our neighbors
Is moved by the love
* better angels of our nature.
