Spent my PT session yesterday telling my therapist how many amazing late 90s/early 00s movies adaptations of Shakespeare comedies. And now I would LOVE a new one. So #mswl - a fresh rom com with late 90s feel that adapts Shakespeare or Austen or another classic. They’re such fun!!

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.
Graphic Title of Not Yet Corpses in white at the bottom, with skulls for O's

#questpit ! #w #u #wf #wlw THE SWINGING SKIRT ⛳️ After a flashing scandal, a disgraced LPGA champ and the disapproving coach she falls for ditch their staged media stunts to show fans what she stands for before her bad girl reputation eclipses her image as an elite athlete.

Title: The Swinging Skirt
Genre: Upmarket Women’s Fiction
Subplot: WLW Romance

Opening Lines: “Holy guacamole, Larry. That’s the best swing in golf.”
I didn’t bother to look up at the TV. The manufactured drawl of Golf Network’s famed announcer Dan Hooper was all too familiar. And I knew he was talking about me.

Teaser: LPGA champion Loralie Genovese crashes into the glass ceiling of professional sports after flashing a crowd of spectators in celebration turns her into the bad girl of golf. Apparently, no one in the sport has ever seen boobs before.

Comp titles:
Love story: The Long Shot and The Favorites
Hero arc: Carrie Soto is Back and Spectacular Things

Book mood board featuring a girl with a finger held to her lips, a close-up of a locket in a person's hand, a silhouette of a long-haired girl holding a knife, a close-up of an eye with mascara running down it, a newspaper that says "corpse likely student," a close up of two people kissing, a photo of a girl floating in a pool, and a photo of a young Black woman looking pensive. Also includes a manuscript excerpt: "That's the thing about a beautiful, young white girl dying. Once it happens, she turns into a myth, a martyr, a fixation, an obsession. And the whole world goes into a frenzy trying to prove their proximity to her retroactively."
