CEMETERY BOYS x THE SPIRIT BARES ITS TEETH A goth trans sorcerer tries to weasel out of his contract with Hell and accidentally resurrects a corpse, rescues a child, and reconnects with his humanity along the way. #QuestPit #Q #YA #F #H #LGBT

A black background with flames on the bottom. White text reads: YA Horror Fantasy, 85k words. A Not Yet Corpses Agent's Guide

A black background with flames on the bottom. A Tropes/Comps graphic for Not Yet Corpses. Various orange arrows point to the cover in the center, depicting a pale, white-haired teenager wielding a knife and a handful of flame. Tropes: Annoyances to Friends to ???, Devil Deals (with red devil graphic), Stabby Trans MC (with cover of Ander Joseph White's The Spirit Bares Its Teeth), Goths Gays and Theys, Found Family, Accidental Resurrections (with cover of Aiden Thomas' Cemetery Boys), Combatting Oppression (with cover of H.E. Edgmon's The Witch King)

A black background with flames on the bottom. Excerpt from Not Yet Corpses:
“So what do I call you?” he asks.
“Roy.”
“Just Roy?”
Even under the sepia light of the streetlamps, he radiates life. It’s off-putting. Downright annoying, when I think about it too long.
“Unless you want to call me Riordan Payne.”
He laughs. “Weird—I like it. Monster Hunter, Riordan Payne.”
“Not a monster hunter.”
As much as I want to punch him every time he opens his mouth, I can’t shake the pride settling in my bones, watching him do something as simple as running a hand through his hair. You’d never know he was dead an hour ago. I did that, and I'm not even sure how.
Beneath that pride, a primal fear coils inside me. If my patron ever finds out what I’ve done, there’s no telling what he’ll do to the corpse. But I’ve got a pretty good idea what he might do to me. I have to dump this undead body the first chance I get.

A black background with flames on the bottom.
Pitch: After Riordan Payne accidentally resurrects an amnesiac corpse, he'd do anything to get rid of it. He didn’t think ‘anything’ meant making friends with it, rescuing a kid wizard together, taking a road trip across the desert, or reawakening his humanity.

THE EARTHLINGS! BODY SNATCHERS x THE RUNAWAYS When a 2nd generation alien sleeper cell is ordered to abduct her human friend, she saves her and goes rogue. Now her fellow operatives must track her down, but should they help her to sabotage the coming invasion instead? 📖 #Questpit #Q #YA #SF

The Earthlings Cover with 4 teens under a UFO on top of a giant alien head

A group of second generation aliens sleeper cells have spent their entire lives assimilating to human culture and gathering intelligence for the home world. To them, the eventual overthrow of farth has always been a distant goal meant for future generations.
Now, when ordered to abduct and replace a human girl they have befriended, one of the alien operatives realizes that they have grown to care more for their found home and family than they do for their own people. She sabotages the abduction and goes on the run with the human girl.
Her friends are ordered to track her down, but now questioning their own mission, they find themselves wondering if the entire invasion is a mistake and if they have more in common with these Earthlings than they ever thought...

#S #Q #W #A #Questpit ⌨️ ⌛ In search of hopes and dreams and found family ⌛ Worst nightmare of fresh start? ⌛ ND, Ace MC, just turned 40 ⌛ The world has never been what it seemed ⌛ For fans of Fringe: #TimeShift - Which one of us is me?

I'd promised myself I wouldn't do it, yet here I am. Somehow I walked and walked and before I knew it I'm walking down my old street, the last place I lived before leaving for Oz. Less than two months ago I called this home.

I freeze as I see a woman look out of "my" window for a moment. She's cradling a mug in her hands, just like I used to. For a moment our eyes meet before she steps back out of view behind the net-curtains.

Who’d have thought being a neurodiverse, seasoned temp with few friends would be her biggest asset?

Worst nightmare of fresh start?

TimeShift by Liz Rosales #specfic

If I agreed, I’d never get the chance to leave again.
Never again a chance of being at the right place at the right time to catch an opportunity.
I'd have to conform and do the stuff I hated, things that other people seemed to enjoy - or be an outcast.

Which one of us is me?

Sometimes it feels as if the world is a theatre stage, only we're a bit uncoordinated when it comes to what is playing, and we have not been rehearsing - at all.

TimeShift, a spec fic novel by Liz Rosales

I went to sleep in Oz and
woke up back in the UK
in a strange house & similar body
in a different world...
It's got to be a dream, right?
Only it's been months and
now I'm not so sure...
Who could you tell?
Who'd believe you?
How long before you got found out?
Then what?

Good night, sweet dreams

Kicking off #Questpit with the #agentsguide for my 77K word campus mystery thriller! LEGALLY BLONDE X THE GIRLS ARE ALL SO NICE HERE Featuring: 🔍A twisty whodunnit 💔The cost of belonging 🏛️An elite sorority with a dark history 💋Beautiful girls, ugly secrets 🔪7 suspects, 1 killer #Q #MY #T #A

Cover page of an agent guide for my 77,000-word adult mystery thriller, I KNOW SOMETHING YOU DON’T KNOW. Text reads: "Secrets are the most valuable social capital a person can have...now, everyone's keeping them." Decorative graphics include a knife, dripping blood, and a cell phone pinging with a text.

Agent guide page featuring the novel's pitch and opening lines. Pitch: "After her best friend is murdered, the only Black member of a prestigious Southern sorority must risk destroying the sisterhood she's devoted herself to in order to expose the killer hiding within its ranks before an innocent Black student takes the fall." First lines: "Being part of a sisterhood means you're never alone. And even in the moments when you might think you are, there's always going to be someone watching. Listening. Waiting for you to let your guard down in a moment of vulnerability and say something that will make you forever indebted to them. Because at its core, that's all sisterhood really is. A transaction. An exchange. We give, we take." Graphics include a sorority house and a young Black woman.

Agent guide page highlighting book comps. Images of the book covers for Sisterhood Above All, The Scammer, and Missing White Woman. Text reads: "Cutthroat sorority culture + juicy secrets, campus setting, messy friendships, unexpected twists, and bingeable pacing, mixed-media narrative elements."

Agent guide page introducing the supporting characters. A blonde in elegant clothing: "A wealthy heiress who wants for nothing...except control over her own life." A young Black football player putting on a helmet: "A star football player with a shaky alibi." A girl wearing a tiara: "A pageant girl who'll do anything to win." A guy in a polo shirt and backward baseball cap: "A privileged frat guy with a short temper." A dark-haired girl washing dishes: "A young maid with everything to lose." A blurry photo of a carefree blonde girl wearing sunglasses: "A sharp-tongued social butterfly with a secret to protect."

After their one-night stand ends in hurt, hedonistic occultist Rowan and repressed poet Darshil never want to see each other again. That plan is ruined when a being from beyond the grave heralds the apocalypse, and they are the only two witnesses.
Forced together, Rowan and Darshil plunge into London's occult underbelly in search of answers to the apocalypse. But as the Veil between life and death slowly thins, and old passions reignite, Rowan realises the truth lies in memories he swore to forget, and that the past is a shallow grave, easily unearthed.
Mood board shows a spooky mirror, a foggy Victorian street at night, two men embracing, a ballroom filled with dancing pairs, a misty graveyard, and a spooky house interior with covered furniture.

Rowan:
Sarcastic and self-destructive hedonist
Secret softie
Dark past
Fiercely loyal
A massive flirt
Not as cool as he pretends to be
Can walk through and alter people’s dreams
Darshil:
Hopeless romantic
Aspiring poet
Definitely Straight (don’t read all his poems about Rowan)
Complex relationship with his father
Maximum yearning
Chronic people pleaser
Repressed gentleman
Art shows a thin white person with short black hair, blue eyes, and an unimpressed expression, and a plus-sized South Asian man with chin-length curly black hair, brown eyes, short facial hair, and a soft smile.

Bernadette:
Optimistic
Terrible at keeping secrets
Encyclopedic knowledge of the occult
Can see ghosts
A great listener
Very lonely
Lives in a graveyard for the vibes
Cordelia:

Snooty and mean
Regina George energy
Fashionista
Knows everyone’s secrets
The favourite child
Fiercely protective
Can rot things with her touch
Art shows a thin Black woman with long curly black hair, black eyes, and a warm smile, and a plus-sized white woman with blond hair in an elaborate bun, green eyes, and a pink feather fan that hides the lower half of her face.

Run. What a powerful instinct.
Emma Bridge had wanted nothing more than to be with her two siblings in a home that felt safe, but those wishes never came true. With nothing left to lose, Emma runs away from the spotlight of the Hills to a small town across the country, but this new home is anything but the safety she’d been after.

The weight of the world has fallen on her shoulders, and she can’t carry it alone. But with her old name in every police station and her new name on every tongue in town, she’s not sure who she can trust to help carry the burden.

What we know:
-Runaway in Hiding
-Fake Identity (turned real identity)
-Mental Health Rep
-Genderfluid and Pan Rep

Hey #QuestPit I thought it would be fun to introduce my characters in a more "non-conventional" manner so I present: The Meme Guide to characters from A GIRL OF TWO SHADOWS. This adult epic romantic fantasy will be querying soon so I hope this piqued your interest! #Q #RF #A

Dark purple background with text:
Top left: "117k words | Adult Romantic Epic Fantasy | Multi-POV"
Top middle: "The Characters of A Girl of Two Shadows As Memes"
Top right: "Series potential | Cross-over Potential | 1st Person POV"

The graphic is split in three. "2nd FMC" on left", "FMC" in the middle and "MMC" on the right.

Each column has three images of memes that describe the respective character.
On the left the text on the memes say: "Me thinking I need something sweet after I just finished eating", "Teaching my friend magic. Making my other friend (who doesn't like her) do it. Me", and "Stealth mode Level: Master"
In the middle the text on the memes say: "That moment when you disarm your opponent", "Me: I love backing for others. Also me:", and "When they are trying to teach you magic but you have no idea what you're doing"
On the right the text on the memes say: "When she acts like she is 'human'", "When she can't even cast basic magic", and "Your trust can't be broken if you trust no one"

📚 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 Rhymer

Romantic 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?" [...]

Kit Raglan’s been running from trouble most of her life. But when she takes a job clearing out a house the locals think is haunted and finds herself implicated in a murder, she decides she’s done running. It’s time to make trouble right back. #QuestPit #AG #T #M #A

A photo of a house in autumn trees with the words: HERE COMES TROUBLE, a thriller.

The pitch: When a young woman takes on a job clearing out a clifftop mansion in coastal Maine, she’s hoping for an easy job this time, a break from a life lived on the run. Instead, on her first night in the house, someone dumps a body by the dock—with her real name carved into it.

The comps: Frankie Elkin meets Veronica Mars meets The Spy Coast.
