I have a fictional teen drama in this book and am worried the plot is too chaotic- runaway horses at a summer camp in one episode and then a witch cursing the school in another- and then I remember Riverdale exists

Lukewarm trad pub take: Just because you read a book like this five or ten years ago doesn’t mean it’s not viable now. Vampires, dystopian worlds, and portal fantasies aren’t “over”they’re perennial.

BRAVELY x BUFFY x SABRIEL Emmeline Harper steals a ring from her Gran's casket & gets more than she bargained for. New school? No problem. Amazing new friends? Heck yeah. Balance life & death, deal w/ a toxic boyfriend, avoid a hungry shadow & find Gran before time runs out? Iffy. #P2Ppit #YA #UW

9-square grid moodboard featuring moody images of a redheaded girl's closed eye, a school hallway, a crow, a gnarled tree, half a claddagh ring, a poofy black ballgown, a stone angel, a ghostly figure and a ghostly hand on glass. Text reads: An agent's guide to EMMELINE HARPER, PSYCHOPOMP. YA supernatural fantasy. 70,000 words. Leila A. M. Martin. All images sourced from Pexels. No AI.

Black text on a cream-colored background. Text reads: The pitch. High school first year Emmeline Harper has 13 weeks to fulfill a bargain with a death goddess or lose her soul forever, all the while balancing life, school, family and friends with the demands of a boyfriend who goes from charming and sexy to controlling and coercive. EMMELINE HARPER, PSYCHOPOMP is for anyone who enjoys edge-of-death worldbuilding, limited-time challenges, mything elements in the real world, teen problems through a supernatural lens, and the triumph of finding your way out of abusive relationships.

Square image: a sky full of black birds, overlaid in grayscale. White text on top. Text reads: Ten tropes in EMMELINE HARPER, PSYCHOPOMP. Supportive friendships. Deals with death goddesses. Hang on, my teacher is a wizard?! Charming, sexy boyfriends who don't stay that way. High-stakes challenges on a time limit. Fiery YA FMC. Secret meanings in ancient jewelry. A gentle exploration of love and grief. Forays into Death. Young women triumphing over abusive relationships.

Black text on cream-colored background. Text reads: The comps. darker by four / skirting the edge of death; reaper mechanics and responsibilities. Bravely / fiery girls making bargains with gods. Wayward Children series / found family, but dealing with dark stuff too. Buffy the Vampire Slayer / typical teen dilemmas explored through supernatural metaphors. The Abhorsen Chronicles / I know SABRIEL is 30 years old now (cries in elder millennial) but before DARKER BY FOUR existed, these were the edge-of-death mechanics and responsibilities that informed Emmeline's story.

Look, Ellie's fine. Yes, her and her twin were in an accident and now they have mysterious powers. Yes, her dad's true killer is back after 15yrs (hi, trauma), and yes, there's a dark-yet-hot vigilante killing the rich and making her question her morality. But she's fine. #P2Ppit #A #UW #Q (soon)

Sirensong: by Taylor Coffman
133,00 words
Sci-Fi/Romance

Tropes: complicated twins, found family, mind control, found family of nerds, disability rep, slowburn. Themes: power/corruption, queer normality, good/bad subversion, hunting CEOs.

Opening Line: The last day of life as I knew it began with a thunderstorm.

The rain slammed the pavement in sheets, creating a dark, slick look that reminded me of spilled oil. I could hear it drumming against the windows, a fuzzy background static that blended well with the sickly gray tint of the sky. It was mid-day but it looked like dusk, and on the one hand I was never happier to be in a dry, warm office.

On the other hand, I have never hated my job more.
