I wish I would have had this #agentguide for my adult cozy romantic fantasy novel POTIONS UNINCORPORATED ready in time for #Bluepit 📖 💚 Bi-for-Bi Romance 🐈‍⬛ Familiars 😈 Evil Pharmaceutical Potion Company 💜 Chronic Illness Rep ☀️ Grumpy X Sunshine 🌱 Plant Magic ☕ Cozy Vibes #Q #A #R #F #amquerying
A Garden of Comps is written in the top corner. Covers of novels are surrounded by wildflower pictures with words underneath. They are: Legends & Lattes: Cozy Fantasy Seeds, Under the Whispering Door: Humor Sprouts, The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches: Romance Blooms, Howl's Moving Castle: Growing Self-Acceptance, The Spellshop: Weeding Out Social Injustice
Potions Unincorporated is written on a brown leather novel with wildflowers and "A Cozy Romantic Fantasy Novel" is written below. Tropes on the right side say "Grumpy X Sunshine" "Found Family" "Evil Pharmaceutical Potion Company" "Plant Magic" "Chronic Illness Rep" "Cozy Vibes"
Pitch is written at the top. Underneath says, "A curmudgeonly witch with a chronic illness must work with a cheerful thief to stand up to a greedy pharmaceutical company." Wildflowers sprout beneath the pitch
Snippet is at the top and an open book with wildflowers is at the bottom. The body text says, “Hmph. Really, Linatta? I chose you for your good sense, and only a ridiculous witch would believe that hats are harmless. Everyone who wears them is untrustworthy.” Despite Linatta’s best efforts to lock away the name, it slipped from her mouth, “Charly never wore hats. That didn’t make her trustworthy.” Toad leapt onto Linatta’s lap and placed a paw over her heart. In his sincerest voice, he said, “Charly was different. She probably wore hats in secret.”

I was too slow for #BluePit 📖 but sharing this little doodle* I made on Procreate for my hopepunk #SF #MG verse novel Space Whale Songs anyhow. #amquerying A hip-hop loving pet rock, and space-whale obsessed pen-pal, help Finleigh face grief and first love. *I am a writer, not an illustrator! 😅
Digital illustration shows snacks and a purple whale floating on top of a block coloured background. There are musical notes in the top left hand corner and small yellow stars sprinkled throughout.

SHE-RA X TALES OF PELL In Mid'arth reincarnation is a gift reserved only for those chosen (and unchosen) by The Chooser. But is it really a gift? After so many incarnations Ota (an unchosen one) is convinced it’s a curse. #BluePit #BluePit 📖 #Q #NA #F #LGBT

When the mysterious Lilith transfers into Avira's small school and captures her heart, Avira's controlling best friend takes it as a declaration of war. 🎨Art competition ☢2012 apocalypse? 🏳‍🌈Bi MC 🌲 Mysterious happenings in the woods ❄ Midwestern Setting #BluePit #BluePit 📖 #Q #YA #LGBT #PN #SP
A moodboard designed to look like Netflix. It displays a preview image of a girl with brown hair leaning against her suburban house's porch railing, smiling with her face resting in her hands. She wears a tie dye and bright orange sweatpants. The text reads, Currently Querying. The title listed is: Rainbow Soul. Below is a summary blurb which reads: 2012 is supposedly the end of the world, but Avira's Jr Year doesn't need any paranormal intervention to feel like doomsday. Between her best friend competing against her in the art contest that could determine Avira’s future and beefing with her new crush, not to mention the things in the shadows she doesn’t understand, it’s plenty apocalyptic. Below it says: More Like This. Thumbnails are displayed in a row showing the following titles: Heartstopper, Pretty Little Liars, Always the Almost, The Summer of Jordi Perez, Ultraviolet, The Adventure Zone: Amnesty, Prison of Plastic, Gravity Falls, Laura Dean Keeps Breaking up With Me, and Girl Serpent Thorn.

A #BluePit buzzer-beater, from way downtown! LOVE ME! LOVE MY ESOTERIC SLOP! In Their Shadows by A. Bastedo Upmarket Gothic Fantasy 70,000 words Actively querying #agents #Q #F #H #A #WritingCommunity #SFF The Ritual X The Buried Giant X The Left Hand of Darkness
The text reads: This book smells like blood and fire, like mossy rocks and rusted steel. This book smells like wet dog fur and Frankincense. Smell it. This book reeks. This is over the backdrop of Robert S. Duncanson's 1856 painting Remembrances of a Scene Near Auerbach. This painting shows a distant, shadowed ruinous castle at the end of a sharp dropping gorge in the clouded sunlight. Robert Duncanson’s trip to Europe in 1853 probably inspired Remembrances of a Scene near Auerbach. In the distance, a lake disappears into tree-covered mountains, and nestled into the hills sits Auerbach Castle, a German fortress that still exists today. Shafts of sunlight stream through the clouds, illuminating the castle and making it the focal point in the landscape. Like many nineteenth-century American artists, Duncanson was fascinated with Europe’s classical and medieval ruins as aesthetically pleasing markers of the passage of time and its effect on the landscape. i believe this passage of time and the ruins is an important aspect of the story.
The Pilgrim of the World at the End of His Journey by Thomas Cole Thomas Cole died before he was able to complete his final group of paintings, titled The Cross and the World. In the beginning of the series, two young men each begin a pilgrimage---one to the cross and the other through the world. The route to the cross is mountainous and difficult, while the pathway through the world tempts with a beautiful valley. By the end of their journeys, the pilgrim of the cross discovers the bright light and angels of redemption, but the pilgrim of the world finds only a wasteland of emptiness and fear. Cole used very little color in these paintings to emphasize the vivid contrast between the glorious light of God and the dark confusion of a world without faith. The Text Reads: For these fields, the ground fought them, it claimed their sons, their slaves, their hungry nights. Yet they persisted as men so often must. With blood and years they tore the ground and ate of its flesh. From the cold stones they raised monuments to their new gods and whispered around them beneath the darkening skies.
