The night she got engaged, Colbie told a stranger on the beach she didn't want to marry Talia. Now it’s their wedding weekend in Kauai and Colbie is acting strange…only one person, The Beach Girl, knows why. Queer love + a quarter life crisis with a chaotic ensemble. And a goat. #DVpit #A #LGBT #WF

QUEER FRANKENSTEIN Ought to Be Thy Adam is querying this September! #queerpit #A #H #HF

Art of Frankenstein's monster choking Viktor Frankenstein. Title is on top and reads "Ought to Be Thy Adam"

Black box with red text above "The Pitch" and below in white text:
Trans & Gay Frankenstein
In 1897, after studying corpses and toying with electricity, medical student Viktor has created a man from his darkest desires. Except shame forces him to make one final adjustment: female parts.

As his new creation gains sentience while vivisected during Viktor's university tour and begins to chafe under Viktor's thumb, a violent death and disobedience leads the monster to make himself into the man he was always meant to be.

Close up of the art with the white text:
“Then make me whole. Take away my anger and I’ll weather the shame with you. I am not your bride, not your monster. I ought to be thy Adam. Let me be.”

Black box with red text above: It Feels Like
Below it shows three covers for novels: Interview with the Vampire, Dowry of Blood, and Hungerstone.

In white text below:
1890s pastiche
Lush, gothic prose
Queer shame
Trans rage
Erotic body horror
A slow-building scream

A fall themed moodboard with muted and dark themes of orange and red. The top left pictures a lecture hall with scattered students. The middle top picture is a row of books in a library. The top right pictures two hands close up, one over the other. The middle picture is long and covers the entire row. It’s of kids sitting around a bonfire at night. The figures are silhouetted against the fire. In the bottom left, a girl sits on a half wall outside. The path is covered with leaves and you can only see the bottom half of her, but she’s well-dressed in jeans and boots. The middle bottom picture is a campus path bordered on either side by trees in bright orange fall colors and some lamps. Farther down the road, students are walking. In the bottom right, there’s a close-up of a girl with pink hair. You can only see the tips and bottom half of her hair.

Atop the painting "Claude Duval", by William Powell Frith in 1860 (depicting the 1660s), text reads:

“I object to this treatment,” said the highwayman. “I’m not some ruffian to be tossed about like a sack of turnips!”
“You wish you had the honour of a turnip,” joined in Alexander.

PITCH

Beatrice Dorsey shelves books at the Meadow Park Library-and runs a spicy content site as TemptressB. But that's none of her coworker's businses. Or her family's. Or Miles Noor, her steady and irritatingly attractive boss.

When someone from her past finds her, and threatens to expose her, Bea tells him the one thing she couldn't before: "no". If anyone found out, she'd be more than known. She'd be labeled like the banned books in the library. Disclaimer: unfit for public service.

Bea arms herself with humor, lipgloss, and sour gummy bears. It works. Mostly. Until the exposure leaks into the library and she's left lying on the floor wondering who she is beneath the labels, and if she's too shameful to ever be wanted. Bea must decide whether to disappear, or risk being fully known and stand her ground to save her job, her growing relationships, and any chance with Miles.

Image: pink background with pink text. Blue doodle of asterisk stars in the top right corner. Three book covers: Wedding People, Eleanor Oliphant, Margo’s Got Money Troubles. TV show: Fleabag.

Wedding People and Eleanor Oliphant—funny, guarded heroine learning to let people in—and making mistakes along the way.

Margo’s Got Money Troubles—intimate look at sex work

Fleabag—Exploration of shame without moralizing

OPENING

Mondays went best with a morning dose of public indecency. At least, for Bea. She was naked, arms stretched in the sunlight. Three floors below her apartment window, a bus hissed and commuters lined up with briefcases and lunch totes. Oblivious to the peep show above them. Anyone could look up-she bent at the waist and blew a kiss. Lucky them.

A moodboard with a collage of mostly warm-colored images. In the top left in a big square is a young man wearing a beanie and a jean jacket. His hand is on his head and he's laughing at something. To the right, there are three smaller squares one with two hands holding sparklers close together, a green volkswagen van out in the woods, and a hand holding a nice vamera. The bottom right has a large square photo of a young man in graduation robes. He has curly black hair, but he holds the tip of his graduation cap obscuring his face. To the left, there are three smaller squares, including a closeup of piano keys, the Manhattan bridge between buildings, and sheet music.
