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

If you’re looking for an update to BEFORE AND AFTER THE BOOK DEAL, M Stevenson’s IT DEPENDS scratches the itch perfectly. Trying to study up on author math.

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 outsidesA 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”

🩸📚🩸 As someone who is a huge fan of "old school slashers," there's a very different feeling I get from watching Ghostface stalk his friends vs Jason chase camp counselors. Both are good. But I think one works a bit better for writing/books than the other. #Booksky #Horrorwriting #Horrorbooks

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

If you need resources outside of Bluesky, I always recommend Reddit! You can do r/destructivereaders or r/pubtips I think r/betareaders is a thing too!

We're having so much fun reading through your pitches! Just a small reminder to trade sample chapters (or whatever length you're comfortable with) to ensure you're a good working match. Not everyone is meant to be your CP or beta, and THAT'S OKAY!

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.

I was just coming to plug the podcast “With Series Potential” by @zillawrites.bsky.social @annahirsch.bsky.social and @ivytwoods.bsky.social Their first episode talks about comps, and the rules you need to follow (and the ones you can break!)

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!
