Craig wanted to be a hockey goalie his whole life, and in his rookie season, he's proving himself to be a winner. When new defenseman Luke joins the team, Craig has to grapple with new feelings and his fears over past failures if they want to win the cup. #BluePit #📖 #A #NA #R #Q #LGBT #POC

Consider how books are marketed and sold when pitching. What in your story would catch a reader's eye? What about it is most likely to make an agent go, "I would request pages of this"? Those things should be in your pitch. Also, follow up with agents who engage with your pitches.

Hi, I'm Kengo! I primarily write gay romance in real-world or fantasy settings. Character-driven ideas inspire me most, but a good plot hook is hard to ignore. I started writing as a teen when my then-girlfriend said she wrote stories. I wanted to impress her by saying I did too. #BluePitHype
