🌊🔥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.”

FLEABAG X MARGO’S GOT MONEY TROUBLES A librarian moonlights as a camgirl, but when someone from her past finds her and threatens to expose her, she’s at risk of more than being known; she could be labeled like the banned books kept from the shelves. Disclaimer: slut. #QuestPit #Q #A #LF #R

ONCE UPON A BROKEN HEART X DAUGHTER OF NO WORLDS A headstrong maid falls for the pirate Captain heading a mission for a mythical Stone, but when he plans to sacrifice her friend to evade his past, betraying him first may be the only way to save her friend. #QuestPit #Q #NA #RF

A meta board for our querying novel, THE SIREN'S CALL. A random collage-style image board, with a lot of photos including; pirate ships, scary Mermaid tails and claws, a fiddle, rigging, sea and rocks, figures cloaked in darkness, and wayfaring equipment.

Featured quotes:
- "and till the end you're my very best friend"
- "Why her?" "Why anyone else when she exists?"
- "and then decided to take a detour to deliver an assbeating"
- "their conversations grew longer, softer, charged with what they refused to name"
- "you like me because I'm a scoundrel"
- "you don't seem to realise... I'll get you in the end"
- "I have survived, but I have not been spared"
