All 17yo Jess wants is to beat her old bullying teammates in the finals. “Accidentally” kissing one of them was dumb. Until he’s helping her with her crush. They’ll end this nonsense before the playoffs, anyway…unless he catches her heart.

Shadow's Gift, An Agent's Guide. Character-driven Adult Fantasy. WC 101,000 Comp Titles: Midnight Bargain, A Song to Drown Rivers, The Jasmine Throne Pitch: When Syrala learns the queen severed her subjects’ souls to gain power, she must outwit the queen to restore her own soul and subvert the dynasty, even if it means betraying her husband, the prince she’s learning to love. When emptiness gnawed, Syrala painted. Her grandmother taught her: Seek solitude and focus on your art. Allow space for emptiness, and listen. It will help. For now. Weeks of palace banquets, hunts, counterfeit smiles, and saccharine small talk would culminate tonight in the Selection. The queen had ordered the candidates to prepare: to meditate on the teachings of the Goddess Viera. The others had filed into the prayer hall in a public demonstration of obedience. But court activities and judgement had worn at Syrala until she was as parched as clay earth before the seasonal Rains. At the oppressive thought of another hour with preening candidates, the emptiness threatened to consume her. She yanked off her palace silks, threw on a simple cotton blouse and skirt, snatched up her painting bag, and bolted out into the unforgiving afternoon sun, and into the water gardens.

He just needs to survive the acquisition of Sterling Property Group, all while pretending to be someone he’s not. When Nat derails all his plans, he wrestles between being the man he promised someone else he would be, or the happy one he never thought he’d be again. Snippet from IT'LL COST YOU where Natasha wagers her terms to pretend to be Beckett's girlfriend, stating it'll cost him if he wants her to be sweet and loving.

An agent's guide to BRIDGES OF MAGPIES by Chezza Lee Pitch: In a feminist reimagining of a Chinese folktale, rebellious Shizhi runs away with the farmer she’s forbidden to marry, but when a jealous Celestial Empress forces her to relive a past life that spans three realms, Shizhi must confront madness, tragedy, and hell itself to reclaim her freedom and save the man she loves. Snippet: “He swiftly pulled the needle from my palm and the sharp pain bit me again. But as I winced, a bright light flashed behind my eyes—a roiling pink gap in the stars. A glimpse of feathers tinged with blood. The heat of cracked lips against mine. The pain of my hand was lost in a wave of agony surging deep inside, from a part of myself I hadn’t known existed. Swells of bliss tainted by brokenness. The duality of joy and sorrow. I felt it all, as if I’d always been one with these feelings. I knew I should be afraid, but instead I lingered in the raw grasp of these emotions.” Comps: IMMORTAL, A SONG TO DROWN RIVERS, THE NIGHT ENDS WITH FIRE. Tropes/themes: Female agency vs. internalized misogyny; Star-crossed lovers; Morally grey FMC + MMC; Celestial immortals; Three realms / past lives; Female friendship; Diyu and the eighteen levels of hell

#YouDeservePit #A #WIP #F #LGBT
A PowerPoint style slide of a blue rounded rectangle over an image of the ocean. It's titled "The Distance Between Stars and Salt, a novel by Alex Harvey-Rivas". In the bottom corner, it continues "Maltese-inspired sapphic seafaring fantasy novel" A PowerPoint style slide of a blue rounded rectangle over an image of the ocean. It's titled "Tropes & Themes" and lists as follows: -Chosen one by circumstance -Coping with grief and loss in a long-winded way -Delaying the end of the world for personal reasons -Duty versus personal desire -Knowing the end and chasing it anyway -Loving the chosen one -Mid-life crisis and search for purpose -Post-flood setting -Sacrifice as an act of love -Sapphic love and tragedy -Unique fantasy races (mushrooms! Star people!) A PowerPoint style slide of a blue rounded rectangle over an image of the ocean. It is titled "Summary" and reads as follows: There was and there was not, in the oldness of time, a star-born woman and her hapless wife who ventured on an arduous quest... Star-born Seren has been gone for a year and a day, conscripted as all Celestine eventually are to track the cosmos for signs of a legendary devourer of worlds. When she returns home, her wife Edera couldn't be happier... until Seren confesses that she herself has seen the World Devourer's return and that, because of this, she must be the one to stop it. Unwilling to allow them to be separated again, Edera decides to join Seren on her journey across their drowned world in a harebrained effort to save it. Now, as darkness looms in the fringes and a strange rot afflicts the world they love, they will have to race across the raging see to keep their world from being consumed. But just what is it that lies at the end of this mission? And how can they stop a force so much larger than themselves? A PowerPoint style slide of a blue rounded rectangle over an image of the ocean. It is titled "The Characters" and features two characters and summaries on them. The first character, Edera, has light brown skin, dark brown hair, tapered ears, and dark eyes. She wears her hair in a loose ponytail that sweeps over one shoulder and a dress with a high neck and collar. She is staring out with a neutral expression. BEDRAGLED NARRATOR EDERA Edera has spent her whole life on the island of il-Zedina, aware of the larger world but unable to explore it. Until recently, she did not have the means to actualize said goals. Though not the most ideal circumstances, her star-born wife’s impossible quest may be just what Edera needs to find her true purpose and learn who she is as an individual, not just as the woman who married a star. The second character, Seren, has pale white skin, pale long hair, long tapered ears, and pupil-less opalescent eyes. A unicorn horn spirals out of her temple. She is wearing a halter top and a shawl. STAR-BORN SACRIFICE SEREN Seren is a Celestine, a race of being descended from the stars. Because of this heritage, she is tasked as all Celestine are with tracking the cosmos for the return of a mythological world-devourer. Upon witnessing its return, it falls to her to put a stop to the otherworldly force. No matter how badly she wishes to delay the inevitable, she knows duty always makes itself known one way or another.
