Her family is broke, the gardener is dead, the manor might be alive, and Lottie Bradbury has a blood curse to break before she becomes its next victim. Do you dare see the slow-burn gothic horror of The Last Heir of Bradbury Manor? #PosterPit #PosterPitQ #Q #A #H #HF
The Last Heir of Bradbury Manor poster. It features a young girl burying a body in a cemetery while a young man looks on in abject horror while a manor looms over them in the background. 

It reads: 
Slow-burn gothic horror festival
Blood curse and gaslighting father fest
Cryptic diary and trauma bonding fest
Traking place in 1919 fest

The gardener is dead
The House is alive
Her family is cursed
Lottie Bradbury is
The Last Heir of Bradbury Manor

Now querying

There are two quotes
"Something about is resonated" - RevPit Editor
"I am wildly passionate" - Literary AgentThe Last Heir of Bradbury Manor movie poster featuring a young woman in a blue dress looking terrified as she falls down a well (or was she pushed?). 

It has the tagline "You don't inherit a curse. You earn it"

Lottie Bradbury is "The Reluctant Heiress"
Gregory Winthrop is "The Wealthy Suitor"
Baron Thomas Bradbury is "The Lying Father"
and introducing Arthur as "The Forbidden Love"

It's 1919, the gardener is dead, the house is alive, and Lottie Bradbury must break a blood curse before it claims her mind, her future, and her soul. 

Now querying

A poster for “Mark of a Magpie”! 📖🐦‍⬛ When a small-town thief crosses paths with the kingdom’s big-shot assassin, an unlikely partnership is born; but can their goals align before their egos and secrets land them both a spot on the gallows? #Q #YA #NA #F #R #Dis #PosterPitQ #PosterPit #amquerying
Picture is a movie poster for the book “Mark of a Magpie.”

In the background is a ship sailing across open waters, with two magpies flying at each other above it. Between the two birds is the title, “Mark of a Magpie.”

At the top of the poster, there are four tropes and themes that read: Thief x Assassin, Forced Proximity, Morally Gray, and Women’s Wrongs.

The very bottom of the poster reads, “A Young Adult Fantasy by Emilia Young.”

4 Chosen ones from different lands discover they are on the same quest to restore the broken crystal. Each one wants to do things their way, but if they don’t join forces, there will be no home for any of them to return to. #Posterpitq #mg #f #posterpit
A poster style image. A green background. At the top in gold it reads: The Four Heroes of the Broken Crystal”. In the center is a round white crystal with shatter lines. Break lines split off from it making an x that divided the poster into four sections  on the top is a sillouette of a boy kneeling in prayer, next a sillouette of a girl holding a bow, next a silhouette of a boy reading with a dagger next to him, then a silhouette of a girl swinging a sword. At the bottom in white text: “4 lands. 4 heroes. One crystal. Can they learn to work together before it’s too late?”

An Agent’s Guide to my YA Medieval Mystery The Ghost of Avalon. Cream text on a maroon back ground over another background of a castle surrounded by water.Slide 2 of my agent's guide to The Ghost of Avalon. Slide titled "The Intrigue."
At five years old, Avalon was betrothed to a prince. At fourteen, she was forced to fake her own death.

Slide titled "The Plot."
When Avalon uncovers a plot to murder the royal family, she must return to the castle she fled under the guise of death to save the only man who knows she’s still alive—the king who had a hand in her supposed death. With the help of a pesky armored guard whose face she’ll never admit to wanting to see, Avalon must search out clues and implant herself in the affairs of visiting nobility in the hope of discovering who wants the royal family dead. When she discovers the current threats tie back to the death she faked five years ago, she must expose the person responsible for the ghosts who haunt her past and the current murder of a castle servant before death finally comes back to claim her for real…or she ends up married to a prince. She can’t decide which is worse.Slide 4 of my agent's guide to The Ghost of Avalon. Slide titled "The Similarities."

FALLING IN THE DARK is a 92,000-word multiple POV story that features the hard-science and world-building of THE EXPANSE with the heart and wit of FIREFLY. Comparable books would be THE BLIGHTED STARS by Megan E. O’Keefe, and CASCADE FAILURE by L.M. Sagas, both with their sci-fi world-building, themes of space, and found family. This standalone novel has series potential.
