Azi is revising a cat POV revenge dark fantasy @aziossman.bsky.social · 11/05/2026

My agent's guide to GODCAT, a PIRANESI x SOMEONE YOU CAN BUILD A NEST IN fantasy/horror (with big 5 editor interest + an award)! I'm #amquerying in a few weeks, so if you've liked a pitch for this, expect mail soon 👀 And if you'd like to see it too, let me know! 🐈‍⬛🫀🐦‍⬛ #writingcommunity

An Agent's guide to GODCAT, by Azi Ossman. 81k Adult Dark Fantasy/Horror with Big 5 Editor interest + The Word's 2026 Editor-Writer Mentorship Finalist

Pitch: Marsh, a black cat, is drowned by her owner. Reborn as a human-shaped godling, she compets to ascend to godhood in limbo for revenge--until she meets another godling who reveals things only her owner could've known. For fans of: Piranesi, Someone you can build a nest in, H.P. Lovecraft, Severance, The Eyes are the Best Part, Chainsaw Man.

A moodboard with different black cats with glowing eyes in creepy settings, plus tropes including body horror, liminal spaces, revenge plot, unreliable narrator, cat/monster pov, hard magic system, deadly competition, narrative whiplash, messy friendship, depression rep.

First 250 words: I am six months old when my owner drowns me.
I think. It’s what the godservant explains to me. That I, a female juvenile black shorthair cat, die of asphyxiation by drowning at 2:53A.M. on Sunday, May 31st, 2015, in Poppyfield, Michigan, in a puddle formed in my owner’s front lawn by a recent flash flood.
But it’s not what I remember. I remember shaking, thrashing, screaming for the hands forcing me down to stop until the muddy water flooding into my lungs buys him my silence. That I have no strength anyway, a sack of bones in fur and some cracked keratin for claws grazing hairy, damp skin. That I’m going to die, and that as my life slips from me, so too does my pain.
Until I wake up again. I lie on the lawn once more, my neck still raw. The sun’s beams bleach everything around me, from the short dry grass to the house’s peeling white paint.
Except there is no peeling. Why do I know what peeling is?
The house stands as new as an office shirt before morning coffee. Why do I know what morning coffee is?
The building towers an extra story. A dog barks from somewhere within. He has no dogs.
I push off the grass, shaking away foggy drowsiness, but the blades prickle me. I assess my arms—flesh. Pinkish hands, like the ones that killed me.
I jolt. My spine doesn’t flex the way I remember. Panic courses through me.
“Do you want to become a god?”

𝑮𝑳𝑨𝑺𝑺 𝑶𝑵𝑰𝑶𝑵 𝒙 𝑴𝑰𝑺𝑺 𝑪𝑶𝑵𝑮𝑬𝑵𝑰𝑨𝑳𝑰𝑻𝒀 Mistaken for her fashion model friend, a reporter plays along. But the story - a killer hiding their past - is dangerous enough without her falling for the annoying man she's fake-dating. He has reason to hate reporters. Esp. her. #Questpit #W #A #MY #R #Bookclub

THEY'RE ALL HIDING SOMETHING. SO IS SHE.

AGENT INTEREST in my WIP after a full request.

'I would love to see the new novel when you're ready.' -

Response from agent after I pitched her my WIP following a Full Request when she asked about anything else I've written given my 'impressive writing'.

Snippets of dialogue

The letter heading, crisp, startling, hooks her gaze. Irresistibly, she reaches out, her heart suddenly thudding...

'What the hell do you think you're doing?'

The dark furious voice makes her jerk back guiltily like a marionette pulled sharply up on her strings. The papers in her hand spill to the floor again with the sly whisper of shifting sand.

A man stands in the doorway, his hand still on the door-knob, his expression one of absolute blazing rage.

Kate (later) defensively to Alex:

Well, it was his fault. He jumped to the wrong conclusion and I…well, I couldn’t tell him who I was and what I was doing there, could I?’

'Oh, I wouldn't say that,' he drawls. 'Some women of my acquaintance would hold that I have a great deal of charm.’

(Girl comes out to drape beach towels over stone balustrade to dry. Stands, hands going to hips, and glares at them – or rather at Kate. Someone calls her. Calls again sharply when she ignores them. With a final dark glower, aimed again at Kate, she swings round and stalks off indoors.)

'I take it she's one of them,' says Kate. 'Poor girl. Never mind. I understand you can get very good treatment nowadays.'

He looks pained. 'I'll have you know I have an army of fans out there.'

She can't help laughing. 'Oh yeah?'

'Yeah.'

Then the most astonishing thing happens. They smile at each other.

I could like him, Kate thinks. He can be high-handed and insufferable but in spite of that, he does have charm, dollops of it. Under different circumstances, if he wasn't gunning for every journalist who comes within ten yards of him, and if my name wasn't mine, we might even be friends.

Heists, spice and space, oh my! What do you do when: 🏳️‍🌈 You're a disaster bisexual 😱 Space witches want your illegal dark hyperspace treasure maps 💫 You have to get off Hecate IV before you're caught You ALWAYS GET IN A SPACESHIP WITH A SCOUNDREL 🥵🚀 #QuestPit #AG #OS #A #R #SF #SFF

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

omantic 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 on-boards are your pre-sets accounting for?” she asked into the communicator without a glance at him.
“The hyrdobeacon,” crackled Fish’s reply, “the fore and aft isotrope routers…and the gravitic drive buffer, I think.”
Jayro was frozen as Anora swiped at the nav one-handed. He could feel her warm breath on his palm as she spoke with Fish through his communicator, her hand gripping his forearm almost burning him through his flight jacket. She was close enough to smell the blaster emissions wafting off her, the sharp, citrus scent of the steam bath clinging to her skin. His fingertips were millimeters from her cheek and he wanted to cup her face in his hand and drag her around to look at him with those bright eyes. He wanted to play with the flyaway bit of hair that had missed her ponytail and brush his thumb over her lips until they parted.
What was wrong with him?

The last Conduit is dead—and Magpie of Lornwhen, perpetual troublemaker and incurable dreamer, is thrilled about it. Two clueless lesbians. A forest full of spirits and giant mushrooms. A journey of love and ascension. #agentguide #querying #QuestPit #Q #F #NA #LGBT #ND

Text: An agent’s guide to When the Magpie Flies by M H Wottenmoss. Background of mountains, trees, and giant mushrooms. A magpie flies in the sky.

Pitch: Magpie of Lornwhen, hobbyist scholar and incurable troublemaker, refuses to believe she hasn’t been chosen as a Conduit.

Wild spiritwoods cage the human cities of Iridis, and the Conduits are humanity’s only defense against the monstrous spirits that lurk within. Magpie has always dreamed of becoming one of these elite spirit-whisperers, who never want for anything, never wonder where their next meal is coming from, never have to shelter in a half-crumbled clocktower no one else wants. When Magpie is definitely, absolutely chosen by a spirit, she finally has her chance.

Calladonna, her best friend and partner-in-survival, doesn’t want Mag to be a Conduit. There are rumors about how it changes people, how they don’t come back quite right. More than human — or less. Determined to reassure her friend and keep them together, Mag convinces Calla to follow her in secret, hidden from the other Conduits as they undertake a sacred journey into the heart of the spiritwoods. But Mag’s secrets can’t stay hidden forever, and when the consequences turn deadly, she has to make a decision: abandon her dreams or risk losing Calla forever.

Comps: A Dark and Drowning Tide by Allison Saft: clueless lesbians, murder and betrayal, journey of ascension. Nettle & Bone by T. Kingfisher: found family, humor and darkness, perilous quest.

Also featuring undiscovered magic, monstrous spirits, chaotic academia, ill-advised rituals, haunted forest, queer & autistic ensemble cast, giant mushrooms, original music

Opening lines: The world went dark just after she jumped off the roof. In one moment she could see the clocktower before her, the ledge beneath its defunct face familiar and inviting, and in the next there was nothing. It wasn't an uncommon occurrence, necessarily, but damn if that wasn't inconvenient timing.

Pitch - after vincent’s acro partner is banned from their vegas-themed circus show, he’s forced to create an entirely new act with his biggest rival or face unemployment. cole’s flashy hand-to-hand stunts and throws are fine for television, but his aggressive style clashes with vincent’s controlled contortion and fear of falling. vincent plans to escape by auditioning for his dream circus company, but the closer he gets to cole, the more reason he has to stay.

HEARTLESS HUNTER X SLAVIC FOURTH WING 🎭 She, a humble servant posing as Duchess, is his executioner-to-be. 🐉 He, the arrogant Dragon Prince, must save a kingdom from the encroaching Ever-Dark. 🖤 Neither anticipated falling for the one destined to be their undoing. #questpit #NA #R #F #DF #Q

A gothic-style book cover titled "Root and Ruin." Centered is a glowing, cyan-blue dragon coiled into a circle, its scales etched with faint, runic symbols. Golden, gnarled roots extend downward from the dragon like branching veins against the pitch-black background. Text at the top reads "Enemies to Lovers," "Fated Mates," and "Fake Identity," with "An Agent’s Guide" in the top right. Subtitle reads "80k • NA Slavic Romantasy," and the bottom logline says, "She is sent to kill the dragon. Instead, she might become his only salvation."

A graphic titled "The Comps" in golden lettering. It displays four book covers arranged in a grid: "Heartless Hunter" by Kristen Ciccarelli, "Fourth Wing" by Rebecca Yarros, "Shadow and Bone" by Leigh Bardugo, and "The Witcher: The Last Wish" by Andrzej Sapkowski.

A self-made fantasy illustration showing a halfway transformed, dark-haired man, Prince Konstantin Veliki, with a silver crown and dragon wings. He is carrying a woman, a humble servant Iva, masquerading as a Duchess Zora, in a long, flowing cream-colored gown as they fly through the air. She is his guest but unbeknownst to him, she is plotting to poison him. In the background, a sprawling forest surrounds a magic academy, Kolegium with colorful, traditional Slavic-style onion domes—gold, silver, bronze and green. Each of the domes represents air, water, fire and earth magic respectively. Snippet text at the bottom reads: "Do you always sequester your guests and take flight with them?"

A self-made illustration set in the catacombs under the magic academy, Kolegium, featuring classical-style statues on the walls. Iva, in dark armor, rides a bright, light blue-scaled dragon; it is Prince Konstantin Veliki in his dragon form.
They face off against a monstrous, ethereal shadow dragon composed of wispy, black smoke and glowing eyes — this is Konstantin’s fallen father Tibor Veliki. A brilliant golden sphere of light, relic of the Slavic god of light, Belobog, called Spark of Creation, floats on a pedestal between them. Text at the bottom of the snippet reads: "Let us dance, little one," the Shadow Dragon hisses in a dry whisper of the fallen. "A worthy foe," Konstantin responds. We take to the air to meet the darkness. Two gargantuan winged silhouettes hover in the abyss, suspended in a precarious balance. They mirror one another; two sides of the same coin, champions of Belobog and Chernobog.
