13th-century Turkey. 3 valley kids -- an arrogant wrestler, a overly religious corn farmer, an archer with metaphorical dirt up her ass -- become a threesome while slaying 7 monsters to free their people from the mongols WRATH OF THE DAWN x SIX OF CROWS but anachronistic AF #questpit #ya #h #r

What happens when you combine 13th century Turkey, Mongol warlords, an arrogant wrestler who thinks he’s the hero, a zealot corn farmer, and a deadpan archer? Oh, and seven headed giants and polyships too. Seven challenges to save their people. WRATH OF THE DAWN x SIX OF CROWS #ghostpit #YA #HF #R

A single dad -- who has a Kpop obsession -- is determined for his daughter to have the best costume, and show the other dads who's boss. Even if he has to make the costume himself. It may or may not involve stealing a mummy. And falling in love with the head of the PTA. #GhostPit 👻 #A #R #C

We have reports of the FIRST known offer of rep by a literary agent has been received due to #DVpit 2025! Less than 2 weeks is so fast, but is proof that the marginalized voices that participated are needed in publishing! We are so proud of everyone who put their work out there! #booksky #writersky

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

Hello #writerscommunity There is a new pitch event, #CastPit, happening Nov. 13, 2025. #amwriting #writerslife #writesky #bskywriters #writinganovel #pitching #querying #amquerying #onsub

Black background - all text.
#CastPit

#CastPit is an online pitching event for authors to promote their books at any stage, from published to work in progress - yes, even drafting phase. The main purpose of this pitching event is for you, the author, to give literary agents, publishers, and potential readers, a chance to see inside your mind and envision who your best pick to play your characters would be if your book was turned into a TV series or movie. For us visually oriented people, it helps us imagine your characters better. If your book would be better suited to anime/animation, you can pick an animation style/production house and voice actor for your characters. If you include a director, include a movie they directed that makes you list them. You can even include composers, cinematographers and costume designers. Anyone you feel would be essential to bring the vision of your book properly to the big or small screen.

​

This is a new event, so be creative and have fun with it. You don't have to follow the examples below, using the Agent's Guide style, but a jumping off point. You can even do mood boards with your actors, just be sure to list the actor's name and the character they would play.

Repost from #DVpit! If you are a fan of: - anachronisms - obscure historical settings (13th-century Turkey) - bi poly rep and queerplatonic frenz galore - crazy obscure folklore (Turkic) with demonic grass and seven headed giants - corn puns - THE WRATH AND THE DAWN x SIX OF CROWS #YA #H #R #F

Mongols have kept the Turks under their thumb for centuries. A she-wolf is to force three valley kids out of their comfort zone to free their people. 🌈 chaotic bi energy! ⁉️ no historical accuracy! 🌽 corn puns. If Sinbad had bi poly love triangles, wrestling, and concerned parents. #DVPit #YA #F

Just to see if there is any more interest, thought I would repost this again from #DVpit! All pitches are pinned on my profile. #AmQuerying #YA #scifi #romance

By popular demand, here is my #agentsguide for my #YA #SF #romance as featured in #DVpit! An overly stabby heiress falls for her cleaner: the cyborg orphan cinnamon roll heired by a rival fam to kill her. Nobody besides them are happy. SCYTHE x ROMEO & JULIET but probably worse, #BookSky #writing

Only one agent like in #DVpit today. That same pitch got 6 requests in PitchDis so… no surprise? Ofc that’s 100% better than getting none at all! I was shocked by the love for my “SCYTHE x R&J but with robot pigeons“ pitch. 😂. anyone here knows of any pitch events coming up LMK #writing #Booksky

She's a grave digger accused of stealing Napoleon's corpse. He's the only person who claims to believe her: a tomb raider cursed to only lie. Three weeks to expose the true culprits -- a cult of shapeshifting crows -- or she gets the noose, and their island home goes up in flames. #DVPit #A #F #H

How an NPC gets the Hero to notice her: - steal his love interest/sidekick - seduce both - go on a siren slaying polyamorous rampage - become the hero instead with an F you to your developers ASSISTANT TO THE VILLAIN x PRIORY OF THE ORANGE TREE. If LOTR had a villain era. #DVPit #A #R #F

She’s a fame hungry grave robber accused of stealing Napoleon’s corpse. He’s a tomb raider cursed to speak in only lies — and the only person who says he believes her. They have three weeks until the real culprits — a cult of shapeshifting crows — set their island home ablaze. #DVpit #H #R #F

An NPC is determined to get back at the Hero -- her ex. She steals the things he needs: the Love Interest (chess savant) and the Sidekick (druid-obsessed) A dragon-filled poly rampage ensues. The final achievement? Become the Hero ASSISTANT TO THE VILLAIN x PRIORY OF THE ORANGE TREE #DVPit #A #F

It started out with beer bottle rockets. Then dynamite. Two boy geniuses are determined to prove who's king, even if they have to blow up all of Weirton, WV. Inspired by my grandfather's childhood hijinks. PHINEAS & FERB -- with actual consequences set in 1950s Middle America. #DVPit #MG #H

SCYTHE x ROMEO & JULIET BUT WITH! - orphaned cyborg teens hired by noble fams to kill off rivals to "prevent overpopulation" - Di Medici heiress killed 364 suitors via horse - cinnamon roll manchild hired by Pazzis to kill her sister, accidentally targets her - neither fam happy #DVPit #YA #R

She's a grave digger accused of stealing Napoleon's corpse. He's the only person who claims to believe her: a tomb raider cursed to only lie. Three weeks to expose the true culprits -- a cult of shapeshifting crows -- or she gets the noose, and their island home goes up in flames. #DVPit #A #F #H

Violante has a penchant for butcher's knives and killing her (364 and counting) suitors via horse. Ferdinand is a cyborg manchild, "looks like he could kill/is actually a cinnamon roll". He prefers poison. Have we mentioned they're both 17? And maybe falling in love? #DVPit #YA #F #SF #R

Eren is the real hero. Aydin just wanted to make sure his corn crop didn’t die. Alana has an archery tournament next week. A mystic she-wolf is about to send them on a seven-challenge-quest slaying three-headed giants to stop the Mongol warlords. No historical accuracy OFC! #DVpit #YA #H #R #F
