feeling all of the love in the community from #questpit I figured I’ll put myself out there and ask if any other authors might want to start up a writers group with me? Comment/dm if you’re interested! I’m writing mainly in thriller/suspense but also read a lot in horror!

THE UNYIELDING MONSIEUR DE BLANC MEXICAN GOTHIC x STARLING HOUSE Dark Southern Gothic w/ Horror elements. 🕯️An orphan seeking security ⌛An immortal man bound by a curse 📰A marriage notice that is a trap Nellie must choose: her heart or her survival #QuestPit #Q #A #HR #H #DR

A dark teal and black patterned card for THE UNYIELDING MONSIEUR DE BLANC. The background has vintage deep shades of pink and purple roses on the top of the frame. Centered is a small hourglass made with bones and a skull symbolizing the immortal + horror elements of the story. There is a note on there that the story is 70,000 words and a Dark Southern Gothic with Horror Elements.

A pitch slide with a deep teal background and black magnolia patterns. A skull with purple and pink roses and more deep pink and purple roses act as decorations. The pitch reads: "The Unyielding Monsieur de Blanc follows Nellie Moore in 1872, lured to a New Orleans estate by a marriage notice promising security. There, she encounters a man as captivating as he is complex, a man bound by a curse that has kept him alive for over a century.
As an impossible attraction sparks, Nellie’s search for the truth reveals that some secrets are meant to stay buried, and some doors, once opened, can never be closed again."

Two book covers adorn the card with deep teal and black magnolia patterns, pink and purple roses framing the bottom.
MEXICAN GOTHIC - The atmostpheric dread and family legacy.
STARLING HOUSE - A cursed, burdened hero

Teal and black magnolia patterns in the background along with a pink and purple rose decoration in the top right corner. Other images include, a candlestick with a burning flame, a pocket watch, a burned newspaper with a woman dressed in 19th century attire. The card includes a snippet of the book as below:

Nellie cleared her throat, and he turned slowly. His broad shoulders squared as he measured her with gray, unflinching eyes.

“I do not care for shadows in my doorway. Step forward.”

Nellie could not speak for a moment. Such a man naturally commanded her. He seemed powerful, severe, and entirely too confident. “I—I beg your pardon, sir,” she stuttered, her voice small in the vast room. “I am Nellie Moore.”

A brief unreadable softness touched his features before he stiffened, his expression once again a mask of stone. “I am Monsieur de Blanc, or Mr. De Blanc, as you Americans prefer.”

His thick French accent was like bourbon; it was smooth, but with a burn that unsettled her. Nellie stared, stunned. This was him, the man she was to marry. She had expected someone older, not this gentleman in his late twenties with a face so...strikingly symmetrical.

“Do find your breath, Mademoiselle. I have enough to manage today without adding a fainting spell to the afternoon’s agenda. I’ve never had much patience for delicate women.”

The insult was a splash of frigid water, bringing her back to herself. The orphan inside of her who spent her days scrubbing floors and managing unruly children suddenly bubbled to the surface. She adjusted the lace on her shoulders and met his gaze with a leveled stare that mirrored his own coldness.

“You needn’t worry, sir,” she said, her voice surprisingly crisp. “I am merely trying to reconcile the man in front of me with the one I was promised in the letters.”

A flicker of mild interest passed over his face. “Is that so?” he murmured, arms folded tightly. “Fortune favors you, then. I am not the man from your letters.”

@questpit.bsky.social A ritual begins. Five stories. Each releases a demon. In 1906 Pittsburgh, a steel heir is pulled into his uncle’s infernal “Book Club,” where five dark tales will begin to tear the lid off hell itself. Everything burns EXCEPT the books. #QuestPit #A #DF #IndustrialAcademia #W

A fiery image with a smoky industrial factory setting, where ancient leather-bound books transform into smokestacks and faint archaic writing is scribbled against a smoky background. As "an agent's guide to..." the bold title reads, "HELL WITH ThE LID TAKEN OFF" with the tagline, "Pittsburgh, 1906. The Infernal Revolution begins." Across the bottom, it reads, "an Industrial Dark Academia Fantasy of 100K Words by Hutchison Adams"

Against a gritty, smoky background, industrial equipment belches fire into the air. The bold image title reads, "the PITCH." The text reads, "In 1906 Pittsburgh, fifteen-year-old Howard Grosick, spoiled heir to a steel fortune, hides his love of macabre fiction from his stern parents. His ambitious Uncle Albert doesn’t just indulge it ... he turns it into ritual.

Each story Howard reads releases a demon.

Five stories will unlock an ancient prison and begin tearing the lid off hell itself.

Deep beneath the iron city, the Hellgrate ... barrier between hell and earth ... has begun to fail. Its lone guardian, Josephine Donegal, is a girl murdered a century ago and bound to stand watch in death.

As Howard is drawn into his uncle’s infernal design, he becomes entangled with the same cosmic force that binds her.

Now, racing to stop the ritual before the gate breaks open, Howard finds himself pulled between a corrupt Order, a collapsing system, and the impossible chance to bring Jo back.

All he really wants is to save the dead girl he’s fallen in love with.

He’s going to fail catastrophically."

Against a smoky background, an industrial steel crucible pours molten iron into a flaming cauldron. The bold title reads, "the EXCERPT." The text reads, "My name is Howard Grosick.

In the mid-winter of 1906, when I was fifteen years of age, I was drowned and buriedby my beloved Uncle Albert. It would be perfectly natural for you to assume that, since I am here recounting this tale, I must have survived more or less intact. But there is nothing you would call natural in the events which came about as the result of my uncle’s betrayal ...

Let me assure you now before we go any further:

Survive, I did not.

Yet, I live. Not as a phantom, nor a ghoul. Not as a ghost. Blood courses through my veins as it does yours. I am a living human being. But ... not as you are. Unnatural, yet of nature.

I find I cannot simply explain without properly telling the tale from its outset. At least, from the point where my fifteen-year-old self became inextricably involved.

It began as I lay sleeping ...

Against a grainy, smoky historical photo background the city of Pittsburgh and one of its rivers, the bold title reads, "the COMPS." Three book covers are shown, with corresponding descriptions, comparing "Hell With the Lid Taken Off" to themes found in published works: "The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue, by V.E. Schwab—Mythic, Emotional Fantasy; Identity, Memory, Sacrifice; Lyrical, Stylized Voice; What it means to give up your life for something larger" ... "Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo—Secret Societies & Occult Systems; Structured, Morally Compromised Magic; Insitutional Corruption; Hidden system beneath reality that the people in charge don't understand any more" ... "Perdido Street Station, by China Miéville—Dense, Atmospheric Worldbuilding; Industrial, Urban Fantasy; Unsettling creatures & systems; Willing to get weird & dark; This world has texture, weight, and strangeness"

FRUIT OF SPOILED SEED CIRCE x BLOOD OVER BRIGHT HAVEN Rowan’s dream of training at Typhon Academy is becoming a nightmare as her magic and body succumb to chronic pain. Desperate for a cure, every path she takes reveals darker clues & they lead closer to home than she ever imagined #QuestPit #W #DF

A graphic with the novel title (fruit of spoiled seed by Shannon Reault) and a mini synopsis, followed by a list of featured elements of the book. The background of the graphic is a red and white mushroom.

The text is as follows:

After concluding her first year of training at Typhon Academy with a record-breaking performance at the Spring Exhibition, Rowan Wildes is changing the perception of female Corpian Witches on Ouros Island. But when her magic inexplicably weakens, leaving relentless pain in its wake, she is forced to return for her second year at Typhon with physical and magical deficiencies which, if discovered, put her future in the High Priest’s Service at risk. Determined to stop her deterioration, she discovers her jaded training nemesis, Taran, has turned to forbidden sigil magic to seek his revenge.
Willing to stop at nothing to reverse the damage Taran inflicted, she embarks on a desperate search to uncover his dirty work, unearthing a buried history of malevolent witchcraft, and the unfortunate fate of the women who fell victim to it. When Rowan is forced to face the reality of her condition and decide between saving her reputation and exposing the ugly truth, she takes matters into her own hands, and it just might cost her her life.

Featuring:
Disability representation
Diverse characters
Found family
Romance subplot
Magic system based on real pagan practices and the natural world

A graphic with the title Fruit of Spoiled Seed, followed by a blurb and three comp titles. The graphic has a map background, with smoke and icons of a dagger, a potion, a feather, and a candle.

The text is as follows:

An academic dark fantasy where patriarchal society, government corruption, and internalized misogyny highlight the reality of living as a disabled woman through a speculative lens, and the grief, pain, and rage that come with it.

For fans of…
Wayward (female rage)
Circe (nature based magic)
Blood Over Bright Haven (flawed protagonist)

A graphic titled Favorite Quotes with quotes from the novel. The graphic is on a map background decorated with a goat sketch and flower petals.

The text reads as follows:

“The snap of the neck was soft and swift, like a peck on the lips.”

“How many more women must die before you learn no man can create divinity?”

“Our hips moved like rolling tides, a rhythmic stringed instrument pulled by the moon.”

“I knew what the ritual demanded of me. I could feel Hecate’s presence peering through the peep-hole stars, waiting for me to do something worth her while. I cradled the final petal in my blood stained palm. It looked so innocent with its baby soft skin, curling into a swaddle at the edges.”

“He leaned against the desk with the nonchalance of the seasoned philosopher, his broad leather-worn hands fanning through the parchments with a dexterity they looked too strong for.”

A graphic that says “Sounds like…” with six phone screenshots of songs on Spotify. The graphic has a background of marble with scrapbook style decoration.

The songs include:
“Hunter - the cacophony” Paris Paloma
“Us and Pigs” Sofia Isella
“Woman is a Tree” The Last Dinner Party
“Monolith” Phidel
“Everybody Scream” Florence and the Machine
“the fruits” Paris Paloma

Nyxara Calder knows the rules of the Seams:
stay useful, stay invisible,
never owe a debt you can’t pay.

When a heist goes wrong, she’s infected by
a sentient magic—and the only thing keeping
her from detonating is Kaine Ashbourne,
the man sworn to contain her.

Trapped in the Citadel,
Nyx fights to keep her identity from

the Warden in her head.

Her mind wants to run.
Her blood screams to be near him.

He began with a warning.
“You will crave my attention. And you will suffer without it.”

And for one breath, I let myself wish for the impossible:
a simple life.

But that's not this world.
“I don’t get to live. I get to survive, and that’s not the same.”

GET IT TOGETHER | 88K | Adult Black Rom-Com ✨ Nothing can stop Cassie and Malcolm, bona fide workaholics, from pursuing a second, serendipitous chance at love, until a tangled web of money, frenemies, and yarn jeopardizes their best-laid plans and threatens to tear them apart.🧶🖤 #QuestPit #Q #R #A

White text and images over a brown background. Agent's guide to GET IT TOGETHER. Est. Brooklyn 2026. 88K. Now Querying.

The Pitch: Nothing can stop Cassie and Malcolm, bona fide workaholics, from pursuing a second, serendipitous chance at love, until a tangled web of money, frenemies, and yarn jeopardizes their best-laid plans and threatens to tear them apart.

What to expect: Rom-Com Antics with Heart & Depth, Second (and third) chances, BIPOC cast of characters, he falls first, but she wants casual, high spice, cafes, clubs, and craft stores, fierce and funny friendships, anti-capitalist propaganda, "what if i just quit my shitty job"

The comps: Kennedy Ryan's can't get enough, Alexis Daria's along came amor, and HBO's insecure

A black adult rom-com of overcaffeinated proportions

White text and image over brown background. Image is of two people holding a disco ball.

Text says: Get it Together - Meet the MCs
She thinks he’s too cool for her, and he thinks she’s too cool for him, and that might make them perfect for each other.

Cassie quit her high-powered job and really wants a craft store.

Cassie loves a good plan, but she certainly didn’t plan to quit her shitty job when her boss screws her over. Determined to leave her corporate baddie phase behind, she devises “The Fun Plan” and swears off dating until she’s figured her life out. Her co-dependent ex was a nightmare, and she can’t have a man throw her off track again.

But when she runs into Malcolm eight years after their one-night stand at his beloved Brooklyn cafe, his willingness to help her out is kind of charming...

(she’s a virgo)

Malcolm owns Brooklyn’s hottest cafe and he really wants her (duh).

Malcolm is shook when Cassie barges into his cafe with a bag full of yarn. Little does she know, he just got an embarrassing lecture from his friends that he’s never beating the workaholic allegations, despite leaving the finance world years ago.

Cassie’s reappearance might be the distraction he needs, and he can show her what she’s been missing. Now if only she didn’t come with a conniving, elitist social circle that could upend everything he’s worked so hard to build...

(he’s a capricorn)

White text and images over black background. Images include pictures of coffee, food, couples, and clubs to represent the energy of brooklyn.

Also features images of artists to listen to: Beyonce, Victoria Monet, Janet Jackson, and Amber Mark.

Text says: Get it Together - Peep the Vibe
