PITCH: When a heist goes wrong, two rival members of opposing secret societies find themselves pursued by a malicious Jinn, an Unseen creature from the myths, hell-bent on retribution. With both the Seen and Unseen on their tail, and a history of hatred between them, the two must work together to stop the jinn from exacting a plan that would mean the eternal subjugation of both human jinn-kind alike.

A CONVERGENCE OF SOULS is a dual POV novel that centres on the deadly secrets of two members of rival secret societies.

COMPS: Assassin's Creed, Alif the Unseen, Portrait of a Thief, The Stardust Thief, Indiana Jones

EXCERPT: “Where is it?” Tabby asked, and Felix pulled the scarf fully from around his face. He was sweating. Gross.

“Not here,” he muttered. “There was a Scholar.”

“You lost it?” Tabby sounded disgusted. Her long black hair was gathered in a high ponytail, the sleek mane falling down her back as she leaned forward in her seat.

“There was a Scholar,” Felix repeated defensively. “She punched me in places that may never recover, Tabitha.”

PITCH: In a kingdom where necromancy is illegal, budding necromancer Sera fights her way to the top of the kingdom court. Discovery means death, but Sera has always wanted to make an impact and she won't let something like morals get in her way.

EXCERPT:
They would be, Sera thought, the blood thrumming in her ears. The dead here had been raised. En-masse, probably. She could only imagine the power that had taken. A whole village’s dead, raised in one night. She could see the figure now in her mind’s eye, a Harbinger cloaked in black under the light of a silvery full moon, the crimson wash of his Necromantic power seeping into the soil like blood and unleashing horrors, an army of the dead clawing their way out of their final resting places. She shivered.

If you like grounded, speculative novels featuring woman-led cults, unique depictions of grief, off-beat humor, sister relationships, and neuroscience, then BOY do I have the book for you! 🐐 #Questpit #AG #A #S

Guide to: The Magic of Now
The story of a 62-year-old farmer, the goat her sister may be reincarnated into, and the new age cult that could be behind it.
By: Cailin Barrett-Bressack
Rep: Alex Land, Mad Woman Literary Agency

The Pitch
Gyla, 62-year old in mourning, encounters a mysterious goat on her farm that she suspects contains the consciousness of her recently deceased sister, Tina. Her quest for answers eventually leads to ReNewAll, a reclusive new-age community fixated on death and grieving– and with a goat on their brochures.
In addition to nonsensical classes like Stargazing with Your Eyes Closed and Untangling the Truth through Macrame, ReNewAll and its neuroscientist leader teach The Magic of Now, a practice that allows members to vividly revisit memories of their deceased loved ones.
As Gyla grows from skeptic and unlikely cult infiltrator to a willing member of ReNewAll’s inner circle, she must ultimately choose between immersing herself in an illusion of the past where Tina is still alive (and human), or dedicating herself to the imperfect (but tangible) version of her sister that is trapped inside the body of a goat.

The Comps
How to Age Disgracefully: quirky humor and warmly acerbic wit
Aimee Bender: surrealism used to highlight life’s bittersweet beauty
Catherine House: speculative exploration of insular communities
Eternal Sunshine: themes of memory and identity
comp cults: Teal Swan, Mother God, Elizabeth Holmes

A Snippet:
The Milky Way painted across the bowl of sky is technicolor and dizzying. The stars seem close enough that if she were to reach out and run her hands across the pricks of them, they’d snag splinters in her fingertips.
The wind grows louder. Gyla walks towards her pond, the forest pressing into the shore on three sides. Later in the spring, the pond's surface will be laced with pale green algae, but this early in the season the water is smooth glass, reflecting the night sky and also—the goat.
Gyla sees its reflection first, then draws her eyes up to where it stands motionless across the water. It’s hard to make out every detail in the muted blues of night, but she can tell who it is the moment she sees it.
“Tina?” Gyla whispers. The goat cocks its head to one side in response.
Gyla is not sure why she says her sister’s name aloud. It’s a physical knowing, the same way she senses weather changes in the marrow of her right knee. When she sees the goat, she feels her sister with her for the first time in months.
The goat approaches her cautiously. Its ear is pierced where an identification tag had been, but the tag is gone, and Gyla can see the stars reflecting on the surface of the pond through the small empty window in the cartilage.
Gyla knows she should be wondering if her mind is playing tricks on her. But she doesn’t waver in her conviction. Somehow, she can tell–this is her sister.
It’s Tina.

Wouldn’t be #QuestPit without a shiny new agent guide ✨🌙 ANNIHILATION x BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN, feat: 💫 two exiled men (+ their secrets) 💫 one lunar prison (+ its horrors) 💫 a cosmic entity that wants them dead 💫 the love they’ll lose if they don’t survive #SF #H #R #LGBT

Dark starfield background. Text reads: ‘a guide to BABEL ON CALLISTO a queer cosmic horrormance [wip].’ Bottom right: saraduran@bksy.social / @saraduranauthor on x

Dark starfield background. Large text at top: ‘THE PITCH.’ Under two movie posters, text on left reads: ‘encountering the unknowable’ and under Annihilation poster: ‘contact that warps and bends.’ On the right above Brokeback Mountain poster: ‘unlikely intimacy in isolation’ and below: ‘love that cannot last.’ Main body text reads: ‘On a lunar prison outpost, two exiled men uncover a cosmic presence waking beneath the ice. As their uneasy alliance against it twists into something tender and terrifying, they are confronted with the one thing they never expected to find on a dead moon: a reason to live. But the ice is thinning.’ Bottom right: saraduran@bksy.social / @saraduranauthor on x

$Dark starfield background. Large text at top: ‘THE COMPS.’ Three book covers below. Above the first cover (The Mountain in the Sea): ‘isolated research station.’ Below it: ‘philosophical alien threat.’ Above the second cover (The Deep Sky): ‘psychological unraveling.’ Below it: ‘fracture under mission pressure.’ Above the third cover (The Salt Grows Heavy): ‘queer, visceral horror.’ Below it: ‘love as a consuming force.’ Bottom right: saraduran@bksy.social / @saraduranauthor on x$

Dark starfield background. Large text at top: ‘SNIPPET.’ Large opening quotation mark. Text reads: ‘Neither spoke as Elias bypassed the security protocol on the keypad. The metal hatch shuddered as it unlocked, slinking back to hidden panels in the wall. They cleared the first few floors with carrion precision, methodical as Dermestidae stripping a carcass to bone. In Elias’s imagination, the gore thinned into something vaster—a time-lapse unraveling the ruin from above. Wordlessly, corridors were scoured to nothing as he and Jack moved like insects beneath an overhead lens. As the hours dissolved, their work became abstracted into a cold anatomy, intimacy pared away as cleanly as flesh from the frame until only the architecture of survival remained. When Jack hacked into the collapsed doorway to the next stairwell, Elias marveled at the contradiction—how those same brutal hands had, only that morning, traced him with the delicacy of a scalpel.’ Large closing quotation mark.

Background: A dark volcanic landscape glows with rivers of molten lava under a storm-grey sky.
Text in neon red and white:
“An Agent’s Guide to THE DYING RELIGION — Adult Epic Fantasy 108k — Amelia Thorn.”

Background: A burning orange night sky with smoke and sparks rising through the dark.
Left section, bold white-red text labeled “Pitch” reads:
“No one expected orphans to survive the war to end magic, let alone win it. But triumph saw a god bleed out on the altar of their peace. Now, as mortals race to slaughter the five who remain, the children raised for holy war must decide if the divine deserve saving.”
Right section, red gradient text labeled “Comps” lists:
“Bury Our Bones / In the Midnight Soil / Godkiller / The Starving Saints / Kaos / The Witcher.”

Background: Forest fires glowing through dense smoke; embers drift through orange haze.
Main text in glowing red labeled “Excerpt”:
“It was hope, painted bloody, raw, bare. Gods help them, Emmett curses the old habit in that thought, but the revulsion doesn’t silence the echo. Hope like that rarely dies quiet.”
Lower text in red-orange gradient labeled “Tropes”:
“Magic Comes at a Cost / Hero × Villain / Found Family / Gods Pay Their Dues / OwnVoices LGBTQIA+ Rep / Heist into Hell.”

Background: Black volcanic rock threaded with glowing magma.
Text in red and white glow presents key story beats:
• First Line: “Magic untended festers. Magic forgotten rots.”
• First Dialogue: “He’s late.”
• First Heartbreak: “Your first mistake was thinking that people like you and I were ever born to do anything but burn.”
• First Action: “Blood, light and rot seep out, like a wound failing to clot over, too late to stop the loss.”

Title: Pitch
Text: Corado is just trying to survive the night—every night. Being a nightrunner, one of the few brave or foolish enough to defy humanity's vampire masters to traffic himself and others across barony lines, doesn't make it any easier though. With vampire posses stalking the desert during the day and their ravenous Horde filling the sky each night, it's a miracle he's survived as long as he has. Some of it he chalks up to skill, some to instinct, but he knows that when the dawn comes, the main thing seeing him through the night is good old-fashioned luck.

Nothing lasts forever though, and Corado's lucky streak soon comes to a quick and bloody end. After nighttime attack from the Horde leaves him stranded in the desert with a newly-orphaned boy named Hectar, he finds keeping the rest of the world at bay may not be as easy as he thought. Newfound companion in tow, he sets out to find what remains of the boy's family and finally put the whole thing behind him.

But as he knows by now, no job is ever so simple. As he tries to escort Hectar to safety, whispers of rebellion start drifting on the wind. With a world free of the Horde beginning to look like a real possibility, Corado must face vampires, twisted monstrosities, and the darkness lurking in men's hearts before he decides whether the world he's cut himself out of is one worth fighting for after all.

Pitch & Plot and has the following text:

With their multiple homes and a business portfolio of luxury hotels, the Constantines' lives might be a world away from 29-year-old Listy Powers’ but Troy and his sister Olympia are like family, an unlikely yet close bond forged years ago at university. So when she learns Olympia, badly injured in a car accident, is back home on the Greek island of Paxos, Listy sets off immediately to see her.

Being at their villa, however, means unavoidable proximity with Olympia's very disapproving eldest brother whom Listy has always loved. When they first met 8 years ago, Kris was a married man with a pregnant wife; now he's a widower. But as the attraction they'd fought back then re-kindles, suspicions resurface about Kris' wife's death. Beautiful, manipulative Rianna had not been well-liked. Her speciality was ferreting out people's secrets. And everyone, Listy discovers, has something to hide.

As she unravels what happened to Rianna, the truth threatens Listy’s future happiness and the lives of those dear to her, and she must decide if crossing that line to protect someone she loves is a price she's willing to pay.

OPENING LINES - When she hears the footsteps behind her, she doesn't rise from the lounger or look round but just rolls her eyes and takes another gulp of wine, fixing her gaze ahead. Beyond the villa's perimeter wall where the wooded slopes fall away, the sea glimmers under the silver coin of a moon.
'I told you to leave,' she says, her voice slurred. 'It's over. There's nothing more to say.'
'I have plenty to say.'
Her head whips round then. She smiles.

SNIPPET - When she died,' Olympia says in a hard voice, 'I was relieved. All I could think was, we're free of her now. Now we can begin to be happy.'
Listy's face spasms. 'But you're not,' she says. 'None of you are. It scares me, Olympia, all this hate. So much hate. Troy has it too. It's like...like it's eating him up. Rianna's dead but she might as well not be, the hold she still has on you all.'
Olympia begins rummaging in the drawer again. 'You didn't know her. You wouldn't understand.'
'I want to. Tell me what happened the night she died. You said she and Kris were arguing.'
