Doing DVPit for my adult fantasy, but realized I should prob also mention that I do have a couple of middle grade books out!
In THE SPINDLE OF FATE, 12-year-old Evie goes to the terrifying Chinese underworld to save her mom. In THE THREAD OF DESTINY, she’s back from Hell and wants payback

When a wandering warrior comes to Ling’s remote bog village to claim her as his daughter, she’d follow him everywhere. But he’s a deserter and a marked man, and her mother is determined to keep them apart—even if he is the only man she’s ever loved #A #F #DVPit

#DVParty day 6: my WIP is a Chinese mythology inspired middle grade like my Weavers of Legacy and Fate duology (out now!), though it’s a different genre. I just finished the first draft but here are some out of context inspo pics

#DVParty day 5 🎶 Here’s the playlist for my adult fantasy, which features a poisonous bog, wandering warriors, and fantasy fungi
I also just watched Lost Angel, the Judee Sill documentary on Kanopy, and recommend for any fans of her beautiful music

Ling is a dreamer, a schemer, and convinced she’s destined for greatness (bc a fortune teller said so), but for now she’s stuck on her no-nonsense mother’s mushroom farm. She’s prickly, imaginative, conniving, superstitious, very pretty and very smug about it
Art by me!

I think the name could convey that this is a fantasy and not about real-world colonization, which I guessed but was not sure of until I read the hashtag bc the character’s name could go either way

This sounds hilarious! Minor nitpick but I think there’s probably a funnier phrase than “the cult women” since you’ve already said “it’s a cult”, maybe something ironic? Otherwise I love this!

I think I would restructure this to establish the conflict/stakes for the characters (ie “An anonymous photographer and a homeschooler _____”) instead of “this is a story about ____”, which I think takes up a lot of words. This sounds really intriguing though! Good luck!

Great comps! I think the placement of the “discovering” clause is a little awkward—it feels like all these things happen simultaneously which doesn’t seem right (they’ve been kidnapped *and* they need to go on a quest?) Good luck!
