Manuscript pitch for a guide to living with dragons.
Orelia simply wants to move far away from the mage guild, spend her days snuggled up in her new cottage, and tend to her vegetable garden. Instead, she has to deal with a cantankerous house dragon, joints that keep dislocating, and a grandma plotting to set her up with her neighbour. On top of all that, the Lord who owns the village is scheming to sell the land from underneath them all.

When Arden, her sweet and rather good-looking neighbour, asks if there's anything she can do to help his dying fields, Orelia is reluctant to use her magic due to past trauma. But if the village can't improve its crops, she will be kicked out of her new home - a place she is coming to love and that makes her feel safe. With the help of Arden and the dragon, she experiments with potions to improve crop yields, hoping to stop the sale by proving the land is still productive.

But the Lord has been planning to sell the land to a developer friend and level the village to build warehouses for their ‘machine revolution.' He won't let a meddlesome, burnt-out mage get in the way. Healing the land and saving the village won't just require investigation. Orelia will have to confront the past she is running away from in order to hear and heal the land - and herself.

2026 revpit winner. A guide to living with dragons. By Olinda Brown. 89k word Adult cosy romantic fantasy

Short pitch. Through screaming and scurrying potions, nature mage Orelia will find one to save the village with the help of her cantankerous cat-sized dragon.
Stardew valley meets how to train your dragon

For fans of. The Keeper of magical things, the enchanted greenhouse, Violet Thistlewaite is Not A Villain Anymore, the spellshop

Excerpts.
First line: Orelia ignored the coin dragon gnawing on her finger in her pocket.
Chapter 8: one thing that always made Orelia feel better was bread, freshly baked bread. Cake would do too, and cookies, or any pastries. Basically, baked goods that smelled good and had sugar.
Chapter 18: it was nice to know that if she was about to commit violence, the dragon was all on board.

Day 5: My Favourite Lines from A Guide To Living With Dragons. It was nice to know that if she was about to commit violence, the dragon was all on board. #revpit #cozyfantasy #favouritelines #firstline

“Healing isn’t linear. Like unravelling a jumbled piece of string, there are parts that straighten out easily, and other sections where we have to stop and pick apart little tangles to continue again, but there won’t always be tangles and knots. There is an end in there somewhere.”

If a scene feels particularly slow, or meandering, or like nothing is happening, it might be because your protagonist should have a goal they are trying to achieve.
