I’m out camping with my scouting this weekend instead of sitting in front of my current wip. How’s this beautiful wattle for Aussie bush setting inspiration?

I’m so glad I jumped over here from threads for #questpit. I’ve had fun reading all the amazing pitches and feeling less alone on my querying / writing journey. I hope to continue connecting with you all!

Forced to work for his debt sponsor, unruly flight risk L is partnered with childhood friend Y, now a perplexingly obedient corp soldier, to track down an interplanetary killer. But the killer offers L a tempting deal: his freedom in exchange for help with her revenge. #W #A #SF #lgbtq #questpit 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈
Mood board for LLL wip (adult sci-fi with a dose of queer romantic subplot) with various images of space, spaceships, a river, trees, two people being tender towards one another, a scalpel, an injection, pills, and sharks. quotes include:
"even luck like yours will run out eventually." - "I have a penchant for running away." "Yes, we're aware that you are prone to … flightiness." - "You're asking me to help you become a fugitive." - "You're a killer." "You're surrounded by killers. I can help you." "I don't believe you.' - "You're not a charity case. You're an investment." - "Do you actually care if you were my first kiss?" - "at least part of me is still human."

Being an Aussie means I miss out on some of the fun of #questpit, but waking up to all this support, and 8 hours worth of fantastic pitches to scroll through is so good. The writing community is honestly the best! #amquerying #amwriting

📚 Ellie Rhymer! Spaceships and Scoundrels 📚 @ellieyellu.bsky.social · 24/07/2026
#Editors Heists, spice, and space, oh my! What do you do when: 🏳️‍🌈 You're a disaster bisexual 😱 Space witches want your hyperspace treasure maps 💫 You have to leave Hecate IV before you're caught You ALWAYS GET IN A SPACESHIP WITH A SCOUNDREL 🥵🚀 #QuestPit #AG #OS #A #R #SF
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 RhymerRomantic 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?" [...]Romantic neon pink and a starry background. For fans of: Uncharted Hearts book series by Constance Fay (image of a three book series).

Okay, threads sent me here as a querying author for an upcoming pitch event, but I’m keen to make friends too. Where’s the writing community at?
