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.”

THE GIRL IN THE MEADOW
by H. L. Docherty
Romeo and Juliet meets The Hunger Games in this 119k New Adult Fantasy Romance

Opening Lines:
A burnt-out sign lay in our tattered front yard, face to the sky. Mum's blue eyes flashed as she stared at the smouldering pile of trash. Beneath the scorch marks, the faint words
'Welcome to Harroworth Central College' could still be made out. Someone had burned the college entrance sign in our garden, scrawling 'Scabs not welcome' across it.
Scabs. Always that word. Like we were nothing more than dead skin, picked at until we bled. Anger bubbled up, threatening to spill over. I wanted to scream, to burn their precious city to the ground, but I shoved the fire back down my throat until it was ember in my stomach. Like always.

Tropes and Themes:
Starcrossed Lovers /
Forbidden Love
Mental Health Rep
Class Divide
Morally Grey Characters
Complex Sibling Dynamics
Found Family
Queer-Normative World Power and Corruption

Text reads: She's a witch fated to topple a realm. He's the prince in her way. Beneath text is a sun and moon motif. More text reads, Alys Sathos is sure fate chose wrong. She's meant to overthrow the neighboring queen and free witchkind from her mind-twisting magic, but Alys has no desire to free her enemy. Especially not one whose prince dangles off the queen's hand. Then more text: Meta data, 133k Adult High fantasy, romantic fantasy. Character art of a woman in a cloak with swords in the corner.

An agent's guide to CAMP FEARLESS #Q #U #P2Ppit

an image of two pairs of white legs dangling off a dock, feet just touching the water. The title reads "CAMP FEARLESS", the caption reads "queer upmarket fiction, 96,000 words, dual POV"

At the top is a polaroid of Luke Kelly, a blonde teenage boy looking away from the camera. The text next to it reads: " When Luke was little, his father would tell him that God had x-ray vision. That he could peer down from heaven right into the pits and crevices of Luke’s heart, looking for lies. The idea had screwed itself tight into Luke’s child-mind. He would lie awake at night, thinking about it; God’s gaze, lunar, wheeling over Huntington Beach and looking for him." Beneath that is a polaroid of David Avery, a teenage boy with a necklace, earrings, and rings, looking away from the camera. The text next to him reads: " David loves his mother’s voice. He wants to wrap it around him like a silk dress. But she is distant, tawny as a rabbit, with dark, dreaming eyes. His own eyes are pale as nickels. He does not look like her. Sometimes, he thinks, he does not look like anyone."

A wood-grain graphic background with the title SAMPLE. The text on the page reads: " Luke puts a hand on the bar, steadying himself. He thinks: There must be some mistake. Because David is here, close-up and undeniable. He is taller, narrower, but otherwise unchanged; the puffy upper lip, the moon-eyes that are just as blue as when they were kids. Memory wells in Luke, like blood in a fresh wound.
David’s eyes swim, as though dreaming, to Luke’s shoulder, his chin. “Oh,” he says.
“Sorry,” Luke takes step back. “I didn’t know.”
“No, I…” David looks to the bartender, then around him, stunned. “I didn’t know either.” The dip of his neck, the tips of his ears, are flushing. Luke remembers, with the force of a slap, that blushing ear between his teeth. Something within him mashes to a pulp.
“I’ll go.”
“What?” David’s jaw drops. “Stay! Are you kidding? Luke Kelly. I can’t believe it’s you.”
Luke winces at the sound of his own name, eyes knifing around the bar. He turns to leave but David grabs at his wrist. Feeling runs up his arm, bursts in his throat.
“Wait,” David says. “Please.” Inside his voice is an entire summer."
