Covenant of the Damned (119k rom. fantasy) in microtropes! When the Lord she’s sworn to protect is poisoned, a headstrong guard reluctantly allies with a loathsome king to find the Holy Grail before the Lord dies or the relic falls into the hands of evil sorcerers. #Q #RF #F #A #QuestPit

Cover slide to introduce the microtropes that you can expect to see in "Covenant of the Damned," a 119k romantic fantasy that is now querying. The background is an ethereal oil painting

the microtropes listed are: reluctant allies, only one horse, he's been thirty for the last 230 years, elemental-based magic systems, lady knights, she's the chosen one, and he tends to her wounds. There's an icon of a computer cursor hovering over a box that says "select all," to indicate that all microtropes are present in "Covenant of the Damned"

On this slide there is a painted hand holding a sword and a repetition of the pitch. The image also states that this book is perfect for fans of [Lady] Knights of the Round Table retellings and every Gilmore Girls stan who was rooting for Rory to end up with Jess Mariano.

I'm loving the creative posters for today's #QuestPit! Sharing my #agentsguide for THE FRAGILITY OF SEASHELLS, an adult upmarket novel w/ elements of suspense. 🌲Maine Setting 👨‍👧Found Family 🏫Academic Couple 🔏Generational Secrets 😦Family Obsessions #amquerying #writingcommunity #amwriting #writesky

Poster for the adult upmarket fiction novel, THE FRAGILITY OF SEASHELLS

Themes & Tropes: Remote Island, Found Family, Amateur Sleuths, Academic Couple, Twainian Wisdom, Generational Secrets, Obsessions

Summary: Deposited in a mail slot and raised by a moose—that’s how Esidora describes her unorthodox childhood growing up on Maine’s rugged coastline. Now a perpetual astrophysics doctoral student living in Chicago with her fiancé Tremblay (a Twain scholar), returning to Maine is the last thing on her mind… until she’s notified of her Aunt Beverly’s unexpected death back on Baribeau Island and the stunning news she’s a co-heir to her aunt’s estate. But as she returns to the remote island to probe for answers and confront her own secrets of the past, peculiar things begin to happen that put her own safety in jeopardy. When Tremblay unexpectedly arrives, the couple borrows from Tom Sawyer’s unique perspective as a fictional detective to unravel the startling family secret behind Beverly’s death.

In honour of #QuestPit and the upcoming #SmoochPit showcase, here's an updated #agentsguide for THE BOG PRINCE, my upper #YA #RF about a necromancer who reanimates the bog body of her kingdom's long-lost prince. 💀👑 Maybe some secrets are better left buried... 🖤 #agentguide #Q

"An agent's guide to THE BOG PRINCE by Julianne M, a 99k word YA fantasy romance."

The pitch...

Eighteen-year-old Everin Lockett’s dreams of returning home from ruthless Wyverith College are shattered when she manifests a forbidden necromancy magic that reanimates the bog body of her kingdom’s lost prince. If the college discovers the truth about her abilities, she will be conscripted into their brutal army,
doomed never to see her family again.

Desperate to guard her secret, Everin strikes a deal with the long-lost Prince Byrnan: if he helps keep her power hidden, she will help him solve his centuries-old murder. But when Byrnan’s quest for justice could be the very thing that endangers her last hope of going home, Everin will need to confront the true cost of
falling for a lost prince with nothing left to lose—and a kingdom to reclaim.

Pictures of book and album covers in ornate antique frames. The text reads:

For fans of...

Yearning and bog bodies (Hozier's debut album)
Dark academia and lyrical prose (A Study in Drowning and Curious Tides)
Haunting gothic atmosphere (One Dark Window and Florence + the Machine's Lungs album)
Slow-burn romance (Divine Rivals)

Snippet...

A fork of lightning split the rain-soaked sky in two, and the ground trembled with a deafening clap of thunder. But even after the rumbling faded, the bog still shuddered beneath me, swelling and quaking like a pair of lungs drawing their dying breath. I lurched away, my heart jolting against my throat as I scrambled back through the mud.
Another crack of lightning.
And in its wake, silhouetted against the flash of violet light—

A single grasping hand,
clawing its way out of the earth towards me.

Why Instagram?
#WriterPit is an Instagram-only event, and the focus is NOT to get likes from agents or editors.
