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.

David Copperfield x C-dramas Max is over living when he's suddenly reborn as an alternate-history noble, but his newfound will to live is increasingly challenged by his family's restrictive expectations and a mysterious curse that claims the lives of those he loves most. #QuestPit #Q #Lit #Spec

This is a red graphic with a blue pond in the middle, surrounded by black trees. At the top is the title of the manuscript: Years of Red Tears. At the bottom, it reads: 98k-word speculative literary, now querying. In the middle of the pond are three pieces of floating character art of the MC, depicting him as both his past florist self and his present alternate-China noble self. Surrounding him are water ripples and lily pads.

He just wanted some peace and quiet to write and heal. She just needed a place to hide and plot revenge. Neither planned for what truly happened. #Questpit #Q #A #R

An agent’s guide to LOVE ON A DEADLINE, a romcom. (Title page)

Hook for romcom, with characters art.

One flatmate. One kiss. One gorge should have never entered but couldn’t resist.

The long pitch for the romcom. He’s a romance author who can no longer write romance. She’s his old crush seeking revenge from her ex for the heartbreak. Neither planned to fall in love in between.

Comp titles: The American Roommate Experiment, with a splash of Funny Story, and vibes that are full of yearning. Cover images of comp titles included with similarities to my romcom.

HEARTLESS HUNTER X SLAVIC FOURTH WING 🎭 She, a humble servant posing as Duchess, is his executioner-to-be. 🐉 He, the arrogant Dragon Prince, must save a kingdom from the encroaching Ever-Dark. 🖤 Neither anticipated falling for the one destined to be their undoing. #questpit #NA #R #F #DF #Q

A gothic-style book cover titled "Root and Ruin." Centered is a glowing, cyan-blue dragon coiled into a circle, its scales etched with faint, runic symbols. Golden, gnarled roots extend downward from the dragon like branching veins against the pitch-black background. Text at the top reads "Enemies to Lovers," "Fated Mates," and "Fake Identity," with "An Agent’s Guide" in the top right. Subtitle reads "80k • NA Slavic Romantasy," and the bottom logline says, "She is sent to kill the dragon. Instead, she might become his only salvation."

A graphic titled "The Comps" in golden lettering. It displays four book covers arranged in a grid: "Heartless Hunter" by Kristen Ciccarelli, "Fourth Wing" by Rebecca Yarros, "Shadow and Bone" by Leigh Bardugo, and "The Witcher: The Last Wish" by Andrzej Sapkowski.

A self-made fantasy illustration showing a halfway transformed, dark-haired man, Prince Konstantin Veliki, with a silver crown and dragon wings. He is carrying a woman, a humble servant Iva, masquerading as a Duchess Zora, in a long, flowing cream-colored gown as they fly through the air. She is his guest but unbeknownst to him, she is plotting to poison him. In the background, a sprawling forest surrounds a magic academy, Kolegium with colorful, traditional Slavic-style onion domes—gold, silver, bronze and green. Each of the domes represents air, water, fire and earth magic respectively. Snippet text at the bottom reads: "Do you always sequester your guests and take flight with them?"

A self-made illustration set in the catacombs under the magic academy, Kolegium, featuring classical-style statues on the walls. Iva, in dark armor, rides a bright, light blue-scaled dragon; it is Prince Konstantin Veliki in his dragon form.
They face off against a monstrous, ethereal shadow dragon composed of wispy, black smoke and glowing eyes — this is Konstantin’s fallen father Tibor Veliki. A brilliant golden sphere of light, relic of the Slavic god of light, Belobog, called Spark of Creation, floats on a pedestal between them. Text at the bottom of the snippet reads: "Let us dance, little one," the Shadow Dragon hisses in a dry whisper of the fallen. "A worthy foe," Konstantin responds. We take to the air to meet the darkness. Two gargantuan winged silhouettes hover in the abyss, suspended in a precarious balance. They mirror one another; two sides of the same coin, champions of Belobog and Chernobog.

Run. What a powerful instinct.
Emma Bridge had wanted nothing more than to be with her two siblings in a home that felt safe, but those wishes never came true. With nothing left to lose, Emma runs away from the spotlight of the Hills to a small town across the country, but this new home is anything but the safety she’d been after.

The weight of the world has fallen on her shoulders, and she can’t carry it alone. But with her old name in every police station and her new name on every tongue in town, she’s not sure who she can trust to help carry the burden.

What we know:
-Runaway in Hiding
-Fake Identity (turned real identity)
-Mental Health Rep
-Genderfluid and Pan Rep
-Found Family
-90s Small-Town Nostalgia

A spaceship flies, low, over a rocky plain, a towering city with earthen walls in the distance. A large moon looms overhead, and two figures stand silhouetted in the foreground near a low hut: one holding a spear, and one an upraised and defiant sword. Fake accolades adorn the top of the image as in a movie posted, and the tagline: THE GODS ARE BACK AND THEY WANT YOUR PLANET runs along the city wall. The title, CASCADE, sits at the bottom just over fake movie credits.
