#QueerWritersChat #QueerWriters #WriteSky Here's my IG: www.instagram.com/giddygideong... My tumblr: www.tumblr.com/blog/giddygi... My website: gideonglassman.wordpress.com/home/ Figured now is a great time to just repost my TCaU pitch graphics, seeing as fantasy is the theme this week!

Graphic saying: An Agent's Guide to To Catch a Unicorn. 

A pastiche fantasy where The Last Unicorn meets The Princess Bride meets escaping a magical cult. 

Background is blue gradient with white and pink stars.Graphic with same blue gradient with stars. 

Text says "Pitch: Three acolytes of The Order of the Pointed Horn who’ve been societally outcast have to hunt down a winged unicorn as repentance for crimes they’ve committed against The Order, and they learn the truth behind the so-called divinity and righteousness of their leader and their cause."Blue gradient with pink and white stars. 

Text says "Found Family (but you found them in a cult)
T4T Enemies to Lovers
Soft magic system
The Hidden World (who knew the world outside this cult is so beautiful?)
The Hero’s Journey (but wait...are we the heroes, or are we the villains?)
Mysterious Narrator (who is telling this story...and why do they love footnotes so much?)" 

Also has a graphic with the To Catch a Unicorn cover with tropes like: found family, footnotes galore, fantasy, feral girls, t4t enemies to lovers, themes of repression/breaking cycles of abuse, unicorns, hydra, goblins, and wait are we the baddies?Blue gradient with pink and white stars. 

Text says "Comps" with book covers from The Last Unicorn, The Princess Bride, Dreadful, This Princess Kills Monsters, and Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell

#QueerWritersChat #queerwriters I really like the theme of finding one's self in fantasy. With the worlds and/or people being so fantastical, it's so cool to see this sort of inward journey reflected in so many different universes with different rules/among different fantasy creatures etc.

#QueerWritersChat Yeah, I love it! Both To Catch a Unicorn and Night Creatures are in the fantasy genre, though TCaU is pure fantasy and NC is fantasy/western. Write it, enjoy it, all of the above! I love a genre that is so flexible in the worlds one can make. #QueerWriters #writesky #writers

#QueerWritersChat #writesky #QueerWriters For me, fantasy is like a sort of world where something that is divorced from reality is taking place. Like if I'm in fantasyland SOMETHING is happening that really isn't/can't be (but I want it to), like instead of being at work I'm on a pirate ship.

The image behind the text is a border that is dark blue with gold stars with a black background with neon blue border. An illustrated caticorn holding a pencil and writing in a book with a rose behind one ear is in the lower right corner. A different version of the same illustrated caticorn is curled up writing in the lower left corner

#QueerWritersChat I have my tumblr, site and IG linked below. Also just promo-ing my pitch graphics for Night Creatures, just because I did TCaU two weeks ago, lol. www.tumblr.com/blog/giddygi... www.instagram.com/giddygideong... gideonglassman.wordpress.com/home/

Graphic with newspaper clips and papers. Text reads: "An Agent's Guide To: Night Creatures" 

Also says "A fantasy-western that's equal parts battles, romance, and Interview With the Vampire (and the werewolf). Graphic with papers and old paper. 

Text says "pitch" and then "In 1881, werewolf Velvel Kaufman meets fledgling vampire Araceli Luna and the two join forces to travel the west in search of Araceli’s sire Minerva Minx, all while evading the Reverend Lovejoy and his cousin Phoebe Lovejoy, members of The Coterie of Purity and Piety, an organization dedicated to hunting down monsters like them."Graphic with old newspapers and papers. 

Text says "tropes" and then "Showdowns Galore
The Villanous Outlaw (but he’s our hero...and a werewolf)
Quest to the West 
Opposites Attract
Bridging Different Worlds
Love on the Road
Finding Friends Just as Important as Finding Romance" 

Also has the Night Creatures cover and the tropes: "fantasy western, triple pov, teaching cuss words in your native language as bonding, cults, showdowns, religious trauma, t4t werewolf4vampire slowburn, don't repress yourself to please an oppressive system, human4vampire lesbians, and repressed aroace monster hunter chaperoned by MORE repressed gay cousin." Poster with newspaper clips and old paper. It says "comps" on it. 

Has covers of Revenge and the Wild, Red Rabbit, Lucky Red, Interview With the Vampire, When the Angels Left the Old Country, and Vampires of El Norte.

#QueerWriters To Catch a Unicorn: The Narrator, seeing as she is writing an entire book about the sequence of events that has occurred to make this story. And aspiring historians must have a good memory! Night Creatures: Velvel, he's got a (were)wolf's memory. #QueerWriters #writesky
