#QuestPit Stuck baby-sitting AGAIN, 12-y.o. Frankie Abagnale sneaks off to Pom Squad auditions w/ her immunocompromised, recovering-from-heart-surgery baby sis in tow. It's no big deal...until a teammate is diagnosed with measles. *First draft done! *Currently revising. #MG #CON #W

Moodboard for THE CONTAGIOUS ZEST OF FRANKIE ABAGNALE, Middle grade contemporary of 30K words. Images of: teen girl holding pom poms, teen hand holding baby's hand, baby having her temperature taken with digital thermometer, girl in silhouette looking sad and alone. Text: Middle school! Poms! Measles?!

Frankie Abagnale has sent friend requests to: images of book covers for THE YEAR MY LIFE WENT DOWN THE TOILET, HAZEL HILL IS GONNA WIN THIS WON and SLOUCH. Screenshots of RevPit 10Queries feedback from editor Leah Rambadt: "Love the voice in this one! Very engaging and entertaining. Instantly caught my attention. Great work previewing writing stylce and MC voice [in query letter]. It's a little on the long side, so tightening the language and focusing on GMC while still keeping voice is key." "MC is hilarious, def want to follow them around for an entire story. Love the MC's voice, the bits of interiority, and how descriptive lang reflects the MC's POV. Opening seems high energy to reflect MC's high energy; it's an effective hook, but would use strategically."

DROWNING IN FLAMES - YA Mystery (85k words) 💜sapphic romance 📚secret society at girls boarding school 👠feral girls 💔friends to lovers to enemies 🧩passageways #questpit #Q #YA #M

Snippet:

Blair read the letter for the third time, her eyes darting left and right, a horrid knowing look in her eyes.

She faced me. "We can't go to the Headmistress with this," she said.

"Why not?" I asked.

"My name is on here. Expelled member or not, this letter reveals that !
broke school conduct. Curfews, prohibited gatherings..."

"But you could explain that you were forced into the society," I said.
"Just like I would."

"But the difference would be you didn't do anything past breaking curfew. I got a teacher fired, Emmaline. If the society goes down, then so would I. So would we." She glanced at the letter again, fire in her eyes. "And Sylvia knows it."

Three young women are highlighted, each labeled with roles: Emmaline (MC) as "New girl," Blair as "Outcast," and Sylvia as "Class president." Background shows school setting. Text hints at mystery involving hidden treasure on campus. Emmaline is tied to a crime mystery, Blair and Sylvia have conflicting interests. Tone is tense and mysterious.

A queer sci-fi reimagining of the Greek labyrinth myth ft. 🌌 a sentient, bioluminescent maze 😈 evil AI 💎 crystal-bending powers ❤️🔥 rivals-to-lovers romance between a thief and a prince 💀 an underground cult 🐍 a giant snake 🐺 wolf-rider girls 🌎 cli-fi themes #QuestPit #YA #SF #SFF #LGBT

A moodboard with blue tones. At the center is a glowing blue planet. Surrounding it are: a snake, a cluster of glowing crystals, neon lights forming a geometric pattern, futuristic blocks with glowing lines between them, a pair of hands, some glowing optic fibers, blue crystals laid out in several rows, and some bioluminescent waves. There are two neon squares overlaying the moodboard—one smaller one outlining the planet at the center, and a larger one crossing through the corner images.

Art of Ren and Micah from my YA sci-fi book, commissioned from artist kaizmos. Ren has pale skin and dark brown hair in a half-ponytail. Micah has brown skin and dark brown hair with an undercut. They are both wearing futuristic dark bodysuits with glowing blue lines. They are standing waist-high in water and surrounded by glowing blue crystals. They are holding hands and gazing dazedly at each other.
