Hello, writing friends. I've been absent. After a move across the country and then a death in the family, I was pretty unmotivated. But I've decided to pick up the 'ol dusty manuscripts and maybe get back in the saddle.

Sophia,
Looking forward to seeing you (and your boyfriend!) next weekend. I’m rooting for you to help woo the clients and bring home this acquisition!

P.S. Madison already sent over Jacob’s “fun facts” for the team icebreaker.

I drop my forehead onto the desk.
Of course Madison sent fun facts. Of course Jacob plays the cello, rescues shelter dogs, and bakes his own sourdough.
Meanwhile, I’m just hoping my fake boyfriend doesn’t show up to the welcome dinner in a “Free Britney” tank top and checkered Vans out of spite.

a movie poster for my novel ALL THE DEVILS. the main image on the poster is of a man with his face obscured showing only his eyes. this image is in black and white.

over the image is some text. in the left hand corner is a snippet stating the following “there would be no them from the tomorrow that had already begun. the devils were done. the dream destroyed.” on the right of the image is some information about the novel as follows: daisy jones meets knives out, a literary mystery, crossover potential.

underneath the image is more text. first we have the tagline “the song of death never sounded so sweet”. next is the novel’s tile “all the devils”. “a novel by char young” follows this and then underneath is the novel’s pitch as stated above in the post. finally at the bottom are the words “coming soon to the query trenches” and “strand studios”

#PosterPit #PosterPitQ #F #H #A MOSSWOOD An unusual town. A dark, eerie forest. A string of disappearances. Three misfits. A mystery they would die to solve. THE RAVEN BOYS meets PIRANESI by way of David Lynch in this dark coming-of-age with queer & autistic representation!

A poster with an aged off-white background. In the center, a photo of foggy coniferous trees is overlayed with Josefa de Ayala's The Sacrificial Lamb painting. Above it, in a dark red sans-serif font, it reads "11-year-old Analía Monroe only finds solace in her small circle of misfits---her younger half-sister Rajel and best friend June---and the dangerous, magical world of Mosswood deep in the forests of their rural Oregon hometown, but their obsession may have deadly consequences." The photo is outlined with a dark red border. Above the border, in green sans-serif text, it reads "There is something in the woods." Below the lamb, there are dark red blood drips which give way to the title, a green serif font reading "MOSSWOOD" and then "a novel by E.S. Hanson." Below that, in the same red sans-serif font, it reads "Adult contemporary fantasy, folk horror, dark fae folklore, eerie forests." Bordering the image are small golden guardian angel figures.
