PRIDE & PREJUDICE x HOWL'S MOVING CASTLE x GRACELING In an alternate, magical Regency era, Lucy Korvas must hide her "improper" wings from high society while finding a cure for her Curse, or she will be transformed into a crow forever. #QuestPit #Q #YA #HF #RF #F #historical #fantasy #romance

Image of the back of a woman's head beside the end of a large wing's black feathers. Text reads YA Regency Romantasy 100k.

A woman's back with large black wings attached. Text reads "The Pitch. In an alternate Regency era where magical abilities are called Gifts, ladies and gentlemen with improper Gifts are shunned from high society. Lucy Korvas has hidden a pair of giant, unladylike crow’s wings beneath her dresses for years, but must risk exposing them to save her ill father. Lord Simon is about to be disowned for his delicate, flowery Gift. The only solution for them both lies in stealing the Duchess’s diamond necklace. But when Lucy and Simon are cursed while trying to steal the necklace, they must survive high society, evade the villain who cursed them, and find a cure — or Simon will dissolve into petals and Lucy will transform into a crow."

A woman awakens the soul in a magic mirror that was never meant to love and becomes the only reason he does, while the scholar courting her hunts relics like the mirror. LIGHT IN THE DEEP—a romantic fantasy for readers who crave slow-burn romance and lush, folkloric fantasy. #QuestPit #Q #A #F #RF

A moodboard for Light in the Deep by Kimberly Bridges. A collage of nine images arranged in three columns against a misty forest background. Left column, top to bottom: a pale hand pressed against a dark glass mirror; intense light blue eyes partially obscured by mist; an ornate silver-framed mirror with a glowing, runic surface. Center column, top to bottom: a greenhouse interior; a young woman with long red-gold hair walking into a lush green forest; the title "Light in the Deep" and author name "Kimberly Bridges" in elegant serif font; ancient stone carved with runes. Right column, top to bottom: two hands barely touching; a close-up of a man's dimpled smile; a stack of worn books with a floral teacup on top.

A book pitch graphic for Light in the Deep by Kimberly Bridges, white text on a semi-transparent dark green background, set against a mossy forest. Text reads:

“Elowen Estaran has spent her life struggling with the nature magic her family wields with ease. She turns to the ruins in the woods, whispering her secrets to them, knowing they can’t answer.

Until one does.

Elowen discovers an ancient mirror and awakens the voice within: Caelum, an enchanted construct created without selfhood. When Elowen insists he is more than a relic and treats him as a person, Caelum develops a dawning sense of self.

Their bond grows in secret as her dormant magic stirs and Caelum learns to long for her in return—until she realizes her charming suitor Gwydion’s order hunts ancient relics like Caelum.

Elowen must choose between the man who offers her the world and the reflection who offers her truth. But Gwydion's order doesn't just want Caelum studied. They would strip him of his humanity to harvest his power. And her secrecy is the only thing keeping Caelum alive.”

A book comps graphic for Light in the Deep by Kimberly Bridges, set against a dark forest background with mossy ancient ruins visible at the bottom and misty light filtering through the trees at the top. A semi-transparent dark green text block at the top reads "Light in the Deep" in elegant serif font, with the subtitle "109k Character-Driven Romantic Fantasy standalone with series potential." Below are four book covers in a row, each with a descriptive label above. Left to right: "Ancient magic, living secrets in the woods" above the cover of Uprooted by Naomi Novik; "Enchanted soul, slow-burn heat and humor" above the cover of Swordheart by T. Kingfisher; "Folkloric academia, dry first person narration" above the cover of Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett; "Magical self-discovery, impossible romance" above the cover of Wild Reverence by Rebecca Ross. Below the covers, italic script text reads: "He was light and magic and I was flesh and blood. We were more than that too, but reality wouldn't let me reach for anything else."

A book quote graphic for Light in the Deep by Kimberly Bridges, white text on a semi-transparent dark green background, set against a dark forest with light filtering through tall trees. Text reads:

“Your presence brings a brightness the lantern cannot replace. But there is still a spark of you within it, and I am no longer alone in the dark.”

His words stirred through me like roots moving beneath the surface.
I knelt before the mirror, heart pounding, and pressed both palms to the glass.

“I’ve always wanted you to be in the light with me, Caelum.”

The glass shimmered, blooming with a sudden brilliance.
“If I could be with you in the light, if I could be more … I would choose it. For you.”

A shiver threaded down my spine. He felt impossibly close.
“You already are more. You can be anything you want. I’ve always believed in you.”

A card with a starry background with the title Pirates and Planets. The subtitle says Opening Lines. Below is a paragraph. It says:
“You fuckin’ snake—” were the last words out of the target’s mouth before Barbie relieved him of his windpipe.
She had gone through many names, all of which meant something like “evil.” Snake was a new one. Viper sounded better.
There’d been one target who laughed at her name. Something about it meaning “pretty” or “sweet.” Barbie wasn’t pretty or sweet: she was barbed wire.

THE RED SCHOLAR'S WAKE x THIS GILDED ABYSS x SILKSONG A woman wakes from a decade-long cursed sleep to find a dying kingdom, one surviving swordswoman, and the unbearable possibility that her own people left her there on purpose. #QuestPit #A #F #W #AgentsGuide

An agent's guide cover slide for Child of Silk and Shield, a 90,000-word adult fantasy with horror elements querying June 2026. Black background with bold orange distressed typography on the left and three diagonal image strips on the right showing close-ups of two women's faces and a ghostly silk-wrapped figure.

Pitch slide for Child of Silk and Shield. Orange italic tagline reads: Survive the madness. Preserve the kingdom. Salvage your savior's sanity. Three paragraphs of white pitch copy describe protagonist Lora awakening from a decade-long cursed sleep in a dying kingdom, making a vow with a maddened swordswoman named Yaira, and confronting the possibility her own people are responsible for the destruction. Three diagonal atmospheric strips on the right show a ruined castle, a crumbling stone mask, and a spiral stone staircase descending into darkness.

Comps slide with a dark textured silk background. Large orange distressed header reads FOR FANS OF. Three comp images are displayed side by side: The Red Scholar's Wake by Aliette de Bodard, captioned WLW main pairing, forced partnership that evolves into romance; Hollow Knight: Silksong, captioned haunted world, sword-and-shield battles, learning about the world as the protagonist does; and This Gilded Abyss by Rebecca Thorne, captioned haunting and possession as suspense and danger mechanisms.

Excerpt slide for Child of Silk and Shield. Large orange distressed header reads EXCERPT. White and orange body text presents a passage from Chapter One in which Lora, newly awakened, assesses the armed and grinning swordswoman crouching over her and concludes that madness can sustain someone in a way no training can match. Three diagonal image strips on the right show a close-up of a woman's silver eyes, a swirl of white silk threads, and a second woman's face partially obscured by windswept hair.

THE KNIGHT AND THE MOTH X DAUGHTER OF NO WORLDS X ONE DARK WINDOW An #agentsguide for my completed 90,000 word NA/A, dark, gothic fantasy, PARALYSIS🥀🖤 #questpit #Q #A #F #DF

Cass @casshabs.bsky.social · 3mo ago

#questpit #A #DF #Q In my world, magic isn't invisible. It lives in your hair, eyes, and color. And when the darkness takes it... it erases you.

A dark, atmospheric title slide featuring a black book cover framed with pale floral designs. The title reads “Born of Light, Cursed by Darkness” by Cassandra Habig. A glowing streak of multicolored light cuts through the title. Background is warm gold and shadowed, with text indicating “Adult Dark Academia Romantic Fantasy” and “120k words.”

A dark fantasy blurb slide with teal text on a smoky gold and black background. The header reads “BLURB” followed by the tagline “Magic lives in color. When it fades… so do you.” The paragraph describes Rihalyn Embers, her hidden magic, her sister’s execution, and her arrival at a deadly academy. Decorative images include glowing flowers and a glass-encased rose, reinforcing a magical, fragile atmosphere.

Text reads:
Magic lives in color. When it fades… so do you.
Twenty-year-old Rihalyn Embers lives on Runyan, where magic reveals itself in color, and she has none. Until her sister Mahdilyn is exposed as a rare illusionist, revealing she has been masking Rihalyn’s iridescent colors and altering her memories to keep her safe from Abel, the self-crowned ruler who siphons color to secure his throne. When Mahdilyn is executed for refusing to join Abel’s army, Rihalyn is sent to Wychlith, an academy that trains mages to serve Abel, where combat trials force magic to the surface, victories raise rank, and defeat costs pieces of a mage’s soul.

At Wychlith, light awakens. Darkness waits.
Rihalyn clings to one goal: survive long enough to reclaim her suppressed power, uncover what Mahdilyn hid, and learn why she died for it. But when Kieran, Abel’s son, takes her under his mentorship, she cannot tell whether he is shielding her from Abel or shaping her into something useful for his own rise. Kieran wields dark magic, the same force draining Runyan of its color, and every lesson awakens Rihalyn’s light while binding her more tightly to him.

If Abel finds her, he’ll drain her.
If Kieran loves her, he may destroy her.
Now she must decide who to trust before Abel senses the light waking inside her, Kieran’s darkness corrupts it, and what little color remains in Runyan vanishes forever.

A split slide showing “Tropes & Themes” on the left and “Comps” on the right. The left lists elements like color vs. darkness, shadow magic, dark academia, morally gray characters, slow burn romance, and found family, alongside romantic and symbolic imagery. The right lists comparison titles The Serpent & the Wings of Night and The Foxglove King, with brief descriptions of tone and themes. A short “Unique Appeal” section highlights a color-based magic system drained by darkness.

A dark, cinematic slide divided into two sections: “Snippet” and “The Atmosphere.” The snippet features a close, emotional interaction between two characters with intense eye contact and tension. Below and beside it is a collage of fantasy imagery including glowing magic, castles, books, shadowy forests, and magical hands, visually conveying the tone of a dark, magical academy setting.

A plus-size baddie dog sits to survive after her ex leaves her—then she meets a guy in the personal care aisle who’s everything her ex wasn’t: loyal, patient & in desperate need of a dog sitter…which might just ruin her plan to swear off love forever 🐾🌿 #QuestPit #A #R #Q

Agent's Guide cover page for GOOD BOYS ONLY, an 89,000-word adult plus-size rom-com. Green background with Sydney & Owen (the main character's names) alternating. Stock images of a plus-sized girl and a tattooed man. Polaroids of tattooed hand holding, a Red Wings hockey game, and a Corgi + Golden Retriever.

GOOD BOYS ONLY pitch: After her boyfriend of six years moves out, retail manager Sydney Bennett is barely hanging on—juggling long shifts and a side hustle dog-sitting to tide her over. When she meets Owen Sutton in the personal care aisle after a rant about two “demonic Pomeranians,” he’s instantly charmed—and in need of a sitter for his own, much better-behaved dogs.

What starts as a business arrangement turns into something gentler and deeper: a slow-burning romance between two people still healing from betrayal. But as Sydney grapples with falling for the man keeping her financially afloat and the past comes back to haunt Owen, they’ll have to decide if the safety they’ve found in each other is worth risking their hearts for. On a split green background of sage green and light green. Two stock images of a tattooed man and a plus-sized woman. Paw print & sage leaf sprig emojis.

First page and comps from GOOD BOYS ONLY. Comp titles include Well, Actually by Mazey Eddings, You, With a View by Jessica Joyce, The Re-Do List by Denise Williams, Young & Hungry TV show. Sample text: Much like my life, my apartment is going up in smoke.
I choke on the black cloud billowing from the oven. My gourmet dino nuggets have turned to fossils. “Oh, fuck me,” I groan.
Lava-like heat bites through my oven mitt, and I drop the sheet pan on the stovetop. Shrill barks echo in tandem with the smoke alarm that’s now going off, piercing my ears like it’s in surround sound, live from Hell. Lovely.
“Piper, Phoebe, get back! I’m trying to save you.” I shoo the orange Pomeranians away from the radiating heat. Dog sitting was supposed to be an easy way to get out of this shithole apartment, not burn it down. Even if I dream about lighting it up most days.
But the aggressive “Past Due” rent letter taped to my door this morning is on the counter, taunting me, like some sick adult version of a haunted house. “Thanks, Devin,” I spit into the ether, as if he can hear me from Chicago. And a big thanks to me, too, for treating my credit cards like Monopoly money.
Flicking on the exhaust fan to clear my galley kitchen, I take a misguided deep breath, and the cremated dinosaurs send me into another coughing fit. In a fight for my life, I snag my Getting Figgy With It towel off of the oven door and wave it pathetically below the alarm.
After a couple of minutes and more pathetic towel waving, the fog clears and the chirping stops. But the dogs are still barking. Though, to be fair, I don’t think they’ve stopped barking all weekend.
While fishing out the scraps of remaining treats from the girls’ travel bag, they hit my calves like starving, vicious dust bunnies. I blew through their supply in an attempt to Pavlov them into loving me. All it did was condition them to misbehave and still demand treats. [sample continues]

Tropes & The Couple. Book tropes: black cat x golden retriever, strangers to lovers, she's his dog sitter, confident plus-sized FMC, facetimes & texts, found family, he falls first (his dogs fall harder), set in Michigan, starting over at 30, when the spice hits... Stock images of the main characters: Sydney Sage Bennett (plus-sized woman) and Owen James Sutton (tattooed man). Sydney's info: 30, Aquarius, Retail Ops Manager, Empathetic. Competitive. Amazing cook. Loves hockey. Sarcasm as a shield. Pilates girlie. Brunch is her love language. Poor spending habits. Younger sister. Sworn off relationships to focus on herself. Owen's info: 31, Cancer, National Events Manager. Patient and loyal. Flirty. Loves hockey. Bottles everything up. Former company co-founder. Amazing dog dad. Acts of service. Takes care of his elderly neighbor. Older brother. Prone to emotional spill-overs.

FROM BLOOD AND ASH X RED QUEEN 110k-Fae Romantasy. THE LAST OF SPRING by Willow James Do the rules matter after they are broken? 💕Fated Mates 🍂Seasonal Courts ✨Unique Magic System 💔Lovers to Enemies 💪🏻Self Discovery 🔥Sparks of Rebellion #questpit #Q #A #RF

This is the title page for the book. In the background there is a forest ground with leaves and pick flowers. Slightly off center of the ground is a golden crown. In glowing letters across the crown says THE LAST OF SPRING (book title) above that it was “agents guide to” and below the title it says “this isn’t a fairytale.” At the very bottom of the page it explains the stats of the books “a fantasy romance by Willow James. 110k words- now querying”

The background is the same as the title page (all the pages have the same background). In glowing gold at the top it says “the pitch” and then under in white is the pitch. “ When straight-laced Xylia breaks the rules for the first time, she is thrust into the world of the Fae-betrothed to the prince and heir who claims she is the lost princess to the Spring Court. As he surrounds her with lavish affection and distracting balls, she begins to question everything when she meets his younger brother, who reveals a dangerous truth: the crown belongs to her and spring. Now Xylia must choose between the prince who claims to love her, the throne that is her birthright, and the heart that feels like home.”

All pages have the same background as the first. At the top of this page in glowing gold says “the comps”. There are three comps. Going from left to right. FROM BLOOD AND ASH- under it says the reason why it is a comp: “love triangle between two powerful men, political manipulation, & self discovery over time”. Next, RED QUEEN: “hidden royalty, betrayal, rebellion brewing under controlled society” Last, A COURT OF THORNS AND ROSES: “seasonal courts, magic systems, mortal to fae transition”

All the backgrounds are the same as the first. At the top in gold glowing letters “the opening”. Below in white letters is the first 3 paragraphs from the opening of the book. “I've never had control of my life. Even now, curling the last section of my hair in front of the mirror, a restless pull whispers that I don't belong here. At any moment, the edges could give way, and I'd be drawn into the life I'm meant to have. Something magical. Something that fits better than... this.
As a kid, I used to daydream I was anything but human. A werewolf. An elf. A fairy. In my more dramatic teenage moments, I even considered running away and hoping a vampire would capture me. Being undead would be easier than being inadequate.
I roll my eyes at my reflection and point the curling iron like a wand. "Stop it, Xylia. Rule two of going out—no beginning the night in a bad mood."”
