🌊🔥Mulan meets Avatar: The Last Airbender… but make it an adult romantasy. 🌪️ Forbidden elemental magic 🎭 Hidden identity ⚔️ Military training ❤️‍🔥 Slow-burn romance 👀 A dangerously perceptive commanding officer ✨ SONG OF THE SICKLE ✨ #QuestPit #Q #A #F #R

Song of the Sickle, an adult romantic fantasy, 115,000 words, first in a planned series by Megan A. Saraceno

The pitch: She’s hiding her name, her past, her power.
He sees through her every lie.

Rejected by the gods, Tessa Whitaker brands a false divine seal into her flesh and steals her brother’s identity to save him from a war he won’t survive. But when her emotions manifest unblessed elemental magic, she catches the attention of her dangerously perceptive commanding officer. If he uncovers her secrets, execution will be the least of her problems.

She can survive the war.
She’s not sure she can survive him.

Comps A Fate Inked in Blood, Silver Elite, The Knight and the Moth

Opening lines: Tomorrow, the gods would judge me.
Tonight, I pretended they didn’t exist.

I swung the scythe through another row of wheat. My shoulders screamed, but at least the burn was honest. More honest than twenty years of prayers that had earned me nothing but silence.
Sweat carved tracks through the chaff dusting my skin, but I kept moving. One more row. One more bundle. Anything to keep my thoughts off tomorrow and the bare stretch of skin on my forearm waiting to be claimed., pictures include: military training camp, earth magic, amber ring, abandoned watchtower, and incense

When pulled into a weapons program, Vic expects routine - not a neural link wiring her mind with an alien officer's. No thought unshared. No feeling hidden... not even the ones growing between them. Vic has a way out. Naev doesn’t. Falling in love was never part of the program. #QuestPit #W #R #SF

Moodboard for TANDEM, a sapphic sci-fi romance, in blue and violet shades.
Top row: A person in a dim blue lighting wears a headset with glowing red lenses; a surgical room with lights shining down overhead; a close-up of dark snake scales; a moon against the sky with clouds.
Middle row: a purple sky with two galaxies; a glowing title card that reads "tandem: a sapphic sci-fi romance".
Bottom row: a photo of a blue circuit board; two silhouettes of women facing each other, close, against the sky; a round spaceship observation window.

When Vic Kohler is pulled into a high-visibility new weapons program, she expects it to be a fairly standard assignment - not a neural link wiring her mind with Naev, a Vamath officer.

The pair learns quickly that this new connection offers no privacy: no thoughts are left unshared, no feelings are left unhidden... not even the feelings that are growing between them. The institution must never find out, because the program’s exit procedure is safe for a human and lethal for a Vamath. Vic has a way out. Naev doesn’t. Falling in love was never part of the program.

TANDEM is an ~87,000-word sapphic sci-fi romance - military SF tension meets speculative fiction interiority, for readers who want yearning with total transparency.

Tropes: Space travel, Human/alien romance, Forbidden love, Mind link, Interstellar politics, Slow burn, Forced proximity, Sapphic yearning.

Comp Titles. For readers who loved: This is How You Lose The Time War - Amal El-Mohtar, Max Gladstone; Winter's Orbit - Everina Maxwell; The Left Hand of Darkness - Ursula K. Le Guin.

The first page of a pitch deck. A neon pink art deco border pulls words out of a romantic starry space background. This border and background repeat over the following images. The title page reads in art deco gold and neon pink: An editor's guide to -- Always Get In a Spaceship With a Scoundrel -- A Sci-fi Romance by Ellie Rhymer. Representation Christi Cardenas.

Romantic pink and sci-fi neon and stars: Pitch. Good heists. Bad Decisions. Great Chemistry.

Anora is the quick-thinking manager of an illegal casino, fleeing the assassination of her gang's boss with the hyperspace treasure maps thrust into her hands as he died.

Jayro is a mouthy interstellar smuggler from the wrong side of the hyperspace lane with the only ship that can get Anora off Hecate IV before the emperor's relic-hunting space witches close a net around the planet.

The two bad-at-feelings bisexuals try to tamp down simmering, inconvenient attraction as they are forced to work together with the scrappy, tight-knit crew of the Helle Wanderer to survive in the criminal underworld and discover the secret at the end of the dangerous maps.

Their love story is a heist and they're stealing more than each other's hearts.

Always Get In a Spaceship With a Scoundrel by Ellie Rhymer

Romantic neon pink and a starry background: Excerpt. “Those are pre-set…” Jayro warned as Anora toggled a series of switches at the nav computer and began actively moving data streams around the screen.
“Pre-set for scans for //stationary objects//. You pick out your nav programs like you pick out your paint schemes?”
Jayro felt annoyance rising up in him again. The cockpit was his domain. Never mind that he agreed with her about the deco. “It took Fish weeks to get those programs running!”
“Look, unless you want to meet an asteroid face to face, shut the hells up and let me work.” Anora frowned as she watched some data return from the program. “Call engineering.”
“Gladly.” Jayro opened the channel on his wrist communicator.
“Yeah?” Fish’s voice responded.
“The new navigator is having trouble with her—” Jayro broke off as Anora grabbed his forearm and yanked his wrist in front of her own face, causing his chair to whirl towards her.
“What are your pre-sets accounting for?" [...]

AMITY COVE ✨95k YA Mystery Thriller✨ 🖤Elements of Romance and Horror💀 #QuestPit #Q #YA #MY #T #R #H (original artwork by me)

A mock book cover with the title AMITY COVE against a theatre/circus background with glitter, a striped tent, a ribbon boarder, and a ballerina in pose standing in as the letter 'I'.

A black, gold, and pink image with two figures in either corner, one of a performer hanging from a rope, the other of a cloaked figure in a bird skull mask. The text reads AMITY COVE, Pitch: When her little sister disappears at a haunted wharf,Everly's sworn enemy is the only person with a lead on her whereabouts.She must dig into the sordid past of her town for answers,but doing so could bury her sister for good.
Praise: "It's a gripping story with awesome imagery and cool twists." C.C.
"You have truly mastered the art of what it means to write a compelling thriller." K.C.
"You had me hooked from page one." K.H.
"WHAT A TWIST!" M.P.

A black background with a multicolor circus tent. Five book covers in the foreground as comparable titles. The books pictured are Pretty Little Liars, The Thrashers, Beth is Dead, Don't Look Back, One of us is Lying.

Two figures bordering text. One figure is a performer standing precariously on a perch, the other is hanging upside down from a hanging ribbon. The text reads: One, The carnival comes alive at night. That’s what the town of Amity Cove always said. Well, the superstitious faction of town…which was basically everyone.
If you go to the wharf at midnight, (or one a.m., three, three-eleven, twilight, whatever) slip through the padlocked, salt-worn iron gate, and find your way through the concessions, game booths, twirling teacups, and twisting teddy bears, you’ll see the amphitheater. And in it, the performers:
The Fool juggling in her leaflet skirts. Lady Justice walking the tightrope. The Hanged Man dangling by his toes with his top hat still perfectly in place on his upside-down head.
If you go, you will see.
So said the ghost tale of Weston’s Wharf, which was bullshit. I’d been to the wharf a dozen times and seen absolutely nothing. No lights, no music, no sense of being watched.

First year university. Add in: 🥰 A not-so-secret crush 🙉 Housing that's never quiet, empty or drama-free 🫢 A drunken confession she can’t take back ❤️‍🩹 Her first sapphic date/dating disaster. All on an anxiety overloaded brain. Lucy’s fine. Stop asking. #Questpit #Q #YA #LGBT #agentsguide

Background image of young woman with hands covering face. Text reads: Fine Means Stop Asking, Upper YA contemporary, Michelle Ogilvy, 76,000 words.

Title: Pitch
Last year, eighteen-year-old Lucy’s anxiety reached new levels and her life fell apart. She’s now desperate to fit back into her old friend group and convince everyone she’s coping just fine on her own. Actually being fine might be impossible with the stress of first-year university, the stream of housemate dramas, and the increasingly obvious crush on her unobtainable female BFF.

Underneath is a subtitle of ‘the housemates’ with four images. The first is two young women with their arms around each other, labelled ‘Jaime - messy BFF/crush’. Second is an excited young man making a lot of noise, labelled ‘Robin - chaotic good BFF’. Third is of a young man with his back turned, looking away, labelled ‘Will – man with a secret’. Last image is of an indistinct figure labelled ‘?? – the secret’.

Title: comps
Three covers of books underneath.

Book 1: Kind of Sort of Fine by Spencer Hall. Text reads: THEME: Finding your place after mental health struggles

Book 2: Unnecessary Drama by Nina Kenwood. Text reads: Setting: First year university in Australia.

Book 3: Then Everything happens at once by M-E Girard. Text reads: Messy emotions: Attraction to your unattainable BFF.

Title: Opening
Text:
Lucy was the last of them to arrive at the house. She had warned the others that she wouldn’t be able to make it until after the movers had been and gone. Not that she was busy. But just the thought of having to deal with all of the coming and going and the mess and the directing of strangers, and… well, she hadn’t had to explain her reasons to Jaime or Robin. And once Will had secured possession of the room with exterior access, he hadn’t particularly cared what anyone else was going to be doing on the day.

At the foot of the driveway, Lucy stopped, staring up at her new residence. It was two-storey, large for a uni student share house, but she knew it would feel smaller once Robin started to fill it with all his friends. Their friends. Another thing for Lucy to get used to.

The exterior was plain, bare brick. Robin had threatened to have it painted in murals, but knowing him, he’d forgotten about that already. There was a small garden that would probably be dead soon as none of them had wanted to take responsibility for it when they’d tried to assign chores. And the letterbox, a slight thing that had been cemented in on a lean because, for some reason, Robin and Will had insisted on putting it in themselves.

It was familiar in the way that it was a place Lucy had been to a number of times, but it didn’t feel like home. She didn’t feel like she was coming home. At what point did a house feel like a home and not some place you were visiting and could leave?

CABIN IN THE WOODS × JOHN DIES AT THE END × JUMANJI When their detective friend is murdered at their annual gaming retreat, 5 dads must rely on years of TTRPG experience—and puns—to solve the crime before they're all killed off like NPCs in a badly written supernatural campaign. #QuestPit #A #H #AG

Poster-style graphic with a black background and heavy red blood splatter. Large distressed white and red text reads “DAD BODIES.” A dagger runs horizontally through the letters, and a 20-sided die showing low numbers appears on the right. Along the bottom are black silhouettes of heads with X-shaped eyes. Beneath, smaller text reads “ROLL FOR FUCKERY,” and at the bottom: “A co(s)mic horror novel by B. van Bodegom.”

In an alternate, magical Regency era, Lucy Korvas must hide her "improper" wings from high society while finding a cure for her curse, or she will be transformed into a crow forever. 📖 Pride & Prejudice x 🐦‍⬛ Howl's Moving Castle x 🪷 Graceling #Questpit #Q #YA #HFR #F #RF #HF #R #HR

A woman with large black wings attached to her shoulder blades.
Text: Pluck by Sierra Moeykens. Pride & Prejudice x Howl's Moving Castle x Graceling

An illustrated lady in a Regency era dress with large black wings over a ballroom background.

Text: The Pitch
Nineteen-year-old Lucy Korvas has worse problems than complying with high society’s tedious etiquette — she must steal a diamond necklace from the Duchess of Thistal, or her cursed father will perish.
In an alternate, magical Regency era where ladies and gentlemen with improper magic are shunned from high society, Lucy Korvas has hidden a pair of giant, unladylike crow wings beneath her dresses for years, but tonight she risks exposing them to save her cursed father. She needs that diamond necklace to afford his cure. How dastardly it is, then, when she discovers soft-spoken Lord Simon pilfering his own mother’s jewelry first.
But when Lucy and Simon are cursed while trying to steal the necklace, Lucy slowly transforms into a crow and Simon starts dissolving into flower petals. Lucy must find a cure while posturing as the presentable, composed lady that she isn't before she loses her cursed father, the shy gentleman she's becoming smitten with, and her humanity.

Three transparent symbols, a heart, a scroll, and a banner, with lists in each symbol. The background is a photo of white feathers.

Text: Romance. Slow-burn & Yearning. Cinnamon Roll x Chaotic Flirt. Touch-Starved. He Falls First. Historical. Witty Regency banter. Literal Ladybird (she's transforming into a crow). Dukes, Duchesses, and Pirates. Fantasy. Repressed Magic. Curses. Magical flowers with restorative properties.

Three book covers with an arrow under each of them describing their properties. The background is a photo of a lotus.

A MARVELLOUS LIGHT X PENNY DREADFUL When a mysterious being heralds the apocalypse, there are only two witnesses: Rowan and Darshil, bitter exes who must brave London’s occult underbelly and save the world from eternal darkness, all while grappling with their unresolved feelings. #questpit #Q #RF

Gothic Gaslamp Romantasy
Adult standalone
109,500 words

Pitch:
After their one-night stand ends in hurt, hedonistic occultist Rowan and repressed poet Darshil never want to see each other again. That plan is ruined when a being from beyond the grave heralds the apocalypse, and they are the only two witnesses.
Forced together, Rowan and Darshil plunge into London's occult underbelly in search of answers to the apocalypse. But as the Veil between life and death slowly thins, and old passions reignite, Rowan realises the truth lies in memories he swore to forget, and that the past is a shallow grave, easily unearthed.
Comps:
The Magpie Lord: gaslamp world, occult magic, big spooky house
A Marvellous Light: opposites attract, magical bonds
The Gentleman and his Vowsmith: second chance, steamy romance
The Resurrectionist: historical setting, self discovery
Penny Dreadful: Victorian gothic, seduced by darkness

Black cat x golden retriever
Yearning
Bisexual awakening
Second chance romance
Forced proximity
Only one bed
Opposites attract
Gothic decadence
Big spooky house
Exploration of grief
Horror as a metaphor
Dreams-based magic
The occult
Alternate London setting
Art shows a thin white person with short black hair, blue eyes, and an unimpressed expression, and a plus-sized South Asian man with chin-length curly black hair, brown eyes, short facial hair, and a soft smile.

It was a poet’s job to seek out beauty, to be mesmerised by it. Darshil wanted to transform Rowan into swirls of ink, to fit his hands into the slight dips where Rowan’s waist met his hips and write him a thousand times over.

The only thing more fascinating than death was the tormented living it left behind.
It helped to hate him. It was less painful than loving him.
The dead thing woke to the acrid stench of its own rot.
Rowan matched him tenderness for tenderness, giving everything he could and knowing that for once, his everything was enough.
Perhaps closing his eyes stopped it meaning anything. Darshil knew he should do the same. This was shame beyond anything else, a secret to take to the unloving grave.
He kept his eyes open anyway. With Rowan beneath him, as beautiful as the dawn, he couldn’t bear to look away.

Scream Queens x Divergent in PROJECT GLITCH A romantic dystopian heist with 🕷️ Rival gangs 👾 Cyberpunk setting 🫆 Forced proximity 🖤 Morally grey characters 🕸️ A lethal, cult-like girl gang #QuestPit #W #NA #A #D Querying this fall <3

List of tropes:
Dystopian, romance, heist
Teenage lovers to unaccounted for for many years, to rival gang members actually trying to kill each other to reluctant allies to lovers again???
Idk, it’s complicated..
Cyberpunk
Forced proximity
is it a gang or is it a cult?
Anything can be a murder weapon if you try hard enough
tending to wounds

All that stands between Aranea and her initiation into the Coven—the gang of women notorious for killing corrupt men and their own ex-boyfriends—is a bullet in her own ex's brain. Only, when her first boyfriend suddenly turns up alive after seven years with no trace, killing him doesn't prove entirely as easy as the rest. But when it's revealed that he's part of a rival gang and leading a heist to steal vital information from a famously impenetrable city–with the potential to save or obliterate their corrupt world–she must first infiltrate the heist and take the information for her own gang. Without letting old resurfacing feelings threaten the mission.

Opening lines:
Eyes on the target. Awaiting orders to shoot." I tighten my grip on the rifle.
The breeze sweeps some brown stray hairs over my eyes as I follow the target through my scope—Raymond, 25, male, with dark shaggy hair and a bag slung over his shoulder. Also known as my second ex-boyfriend.
"Awaiting orders to shoot," I repeat. My trigger finger burns to move.
The traffic drums in the background—car horns ring through the dirty air between dilapidated skyscrapers. Raymond dabs up one of the bouncers across the street. I track his every move; when he steps back to let a group pass by, when he scratches the five o'clock shadow on his chin, when he nods towards the entrance door two steps ahead of them. All that stands between me and my official initiation into the Coven, is one bullet in his brain.

"I fear the withdraw of us will be worse than any drug."
