Snippet
He turned to the witch-who, in some instances, had become like a friend to the captain, in only a way that a man without humanity and a centuries-old witch could be. An unspoken agreement hung between them. "Why did you agree to teach me? I have heard that no one leaves your cottage alive." The captain said.
"The blood shows all. Men want power, they want riches, they want to be adored and envied.
Their blood is sour, thin, and undeserving. Yours was thick and hearty but mostly full of sorrow.
It held the story of a man greatly wronged.
Revenge is a form of fate. Destiny and vengeance go hand in hand if the universe deems it a worthy enough cause. And destiny, it seems, is not finished with you quite yet."

If an agent asks me, “Why are you the best person to write this novel?”, then this is my answer 🛠️🫶🏻 #questpit #q #dr #f #d what would you say? #writingcommunity

On this screen there is a picture of the woods and a burnt piece of paper. There is a question an agent may ask about why I’m the writer to write this novel and there is my reply. Short version, I’m the daughter of a mechanic who spent a lot of time in the garage and loves to tinker. There’s a lot of pressure when being a “fixer”: it’s both a power and a burden. What happens when you have to break yourself to mend the world?

An agent’s guide to my newest project—To Save a Wilting Rose (WIP)!!! Adult paranormal romance at 91,000 words. #questpit #w #pr #a

The text says, “Agent guide for to save a wilting rose, adult paranormal romance, 91,000 words WIP.”

The text says, “ The pitch. A PHD student who’s returned home to her family’s resort island for the summer expects to spend time with her ill sister, but when a group of vampires from a medical research organization checks in, it’s not just the heir that changes her plans. It’s the life-changing cure they discovered together.”

The text says, “The Comps. Finding joy in an immortal life and serious topics with lighter tones like in Aubrey Wants to Die by Pip Knight. Simmering chemistry and the medical urgency like in Ali Hazelwood’s Mate.”

The text says, “The characters. Lettie Nightingale is a 24 year-old in grad school, has a twin brother, hates to be sweaty, grew up at the Eldham Island Resort, has dedicated her life to saving her younger sister. August Olsen is a vampire, and only child, loves to run, especially on the beach, expected to replace his father as president of The Vital Approach Foundation, and his favorite book is The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab.”

My first #questpit pitch! I’m so excited to participate! DISSEVERER is SILVER ELITE meets ONE DARK WINDOW #Q #A #D #DR #F In the Outlands, Death can be a mercy…until It wants a favor.

A collage of pictures including: shadow hands reaching for each other, red thread, and artwork by Eugene Cuvelier and Avert Van der Neer. Artwork is public domain offered by the MET. Titles of the pieces are “The Farrier” and “Fontainebleau Forest”. The title of the querying work is DISSEVERER and this is an agent guide.

The following picture is of a girl holding a red thread. On top of that picture is the covers of three books: SILVER ELITE by Dani Francis, ONE DARK WINDOW by Rachel Gillig and THE FOXGLOVE KING by Hannah Whitten. The pitch is for the novel DISSEVERER is also typed out: a virus-scarred blacksmith with the cursed power to see through the veil that separates the living from the dead, barters with a Death God for her soul’s freedom, but the price is steep: Death wants admittance into the land of the living, and shes’s the only one who can sever the veil.

The following is a picture of hands reaching for each other. On top of that is screenshots of positive reviews from readers, beta readers and critique partners. One is from an email, another from a text message, the other review given through a string of DMs.

This picture is of a hand and the pointer finger is reaching for dark smoke. Over it is a snippet from my dystopian dark fantasy, where the MC meets a death harvester for the first time.
