HIDE x EPISODE 13 x THE HANDYMAN METHOD Ruining the Massacre Mansion TV show is Lissa’s goal: because Hollywood shouldn’t exploit real life death. But the plot goes awry when the mansion begins to thirst for their blood & she realizes that greed doesn’t always take the shape of money. #DVPit #A #H

Hello and welcome to my bisexual pirate ( #birates ) book: Sculptor of the Winds It’s not a love triangle but it’s definitely a *vague mumbling* triangle. #unhingedpit #F #R #FR #AG #OS

A white skull and crossbones over a bisexual flag (pink, purple, blue from top to bottom). There is a white border around the outsides

A chart diagram where various arrows connect MMC (male main character), FMC (female main character), and Lesbian Monster.

Between FMC and MMC is a double sided arrow that says “wholesome romance”

Between MMC and Lesbian Monster is a double sided arrow that says “desire to murder each other” and an arrow pointed from Lesbian Monster to MMC that says “jealous of”

Between FMC and Lesbian monster is a double sided arrow that says “attraction” an arrow from FMC to Lesbian Monster that says “I can fix her” and an arrow from lesbian monster to FMC that says “covetous, toxic obsession”

Also, as someone who has been on bookstagram for years now, there are diff rules online vs sending to an agent. Readers don’t necessarily look at sales (agents do) so if talking about your book online, just have fun with talking about your vibe. You can comp shoes/ movies/ music/ visual artists etc

For the first one - I think it's fine to have some comps that are outside your specific subgenre, but I'd make sure to have at least one comp that's higher-stakes.

re: logline and housekeeping- Most feedback I got told me to put housekeeping at the top, and I did get more requests with that format. I originally started my query with a hooky line about my story at the top but I moved it below the housekeeping to start the blurb. That worked well!

I have a different answer for the last one. Since I did a mentorship, I queried some agents who had rejected me before the program and just mentioned up front "I previously queried you with this project on DATE and it has since been significantly revised as part of [mentorship]".

I would stop querying a manuscript when... a) you've run out of reputable agents to query and don't have many fulls outstanding, or b) when you have something better ready to go. I only sent about 50 queries for my 1st book, then switched to querying my stronger 2nd book. Book 2 got me an agent!

My query went like this: "Told in dual-POV and set against the backdrop of [setting], it follows [and then I went into my logline]." There's lots of ways to easily work it in! Plus, I had a male MC and it didn't seem to turn anyone off that I was aware of :)

For multi-POV, I'd definitely recommend focusing on your primary POV character throughout the blurb, and using the metadata paragraph to mention the multi-POV. You can focus on multiple POV characters in your blurb if you want, but it's a LOT harder. [1/2]

On a grassy green hill beneath a starry night sky, the caterpillar nibbles on a tree while the mantis and the firefly work on their stories. The mantis lays in the grass writing in her journal with a fountain pen and her very tall stack of papers beside her. The firefly sits in the branches of the tree with a laptop. The firefly’s butt is glowing brightly so the mantis can see to write.
