My phone died the day before DVpit. Had to set up Buffer to post my pitches in a pinch. Couldn't continue my WIP as I write on my phone (due to my #dis).

But all is good! I sent out multiple queries & even fulls to agents who liked my pitches. 😀 Good luck all!

Thank you for the continued interest! You're already in possession of my query for DAD BODIES since July 29. Though I think that has less than 3 chapters. Would you like me to update the materials?

Thank you for your interest. Looking at your list and specialty, I can't help but wonder if you perhaps accidentally clicked like on my pitch when you meant to click another? (DAD BODIES, Adult Horror)

CABIN IN THE WOODS × JOHN DIES AT THE END

When their detective friend is murdered during their annual gaming retreat, 5 dads must rely on years of #TTRPG experience—and puns—to solve the crime before they're all killed off like NPCs in a badly written supernatural campaign.

The image, made with free non-AI stock pictures, shows a horror-comedy novel cover titled "DAD BODIES." The top of the cover reads "THE GAME JUST TOOK A DAD TURN" with "DAD" in a different color.

The background features a haunted house with multiple towers and illuminated windows against a dark backdrop. At the center is a 20-sided die (D20) used in tabletop role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons, with visible numbers including 1, 7, 13, and 19. The die is surrounded by red blood splatter effects.

At the bottom of the cover are six men with expressions of terror and shock. One man is wearing a white shirt over his head. These men are the dads referenced in the title.
