Do I understand the importance of relevant, modern comp titles? Yes. Do I also want prospective agents to know my book was inspired by a mix of Miltonian tragedy and every fandom I’ve never been able to be normal about? Also yes.

NAUSICAA x WILL OF THE MANY

After conjuring the ghost of bone magic's inventor, university student Aris attracts the attention of an undead professor who would kill to keep the secret of magic's origins buried.

👻 #GhostPit #A #F #LGBT

The quote: “Aris waited until the groundskeeper turned around the bend of the carriage way to break the window.” Above a series of images: a forest canopy, a student by the river in a historical city, a shelf of oddities including animal skulls, someone in a dress shirt and vest, a forest, a large animal skull, people holding cups and cigarettes around a table, and a notebooks with sketches of a skeleton.

Writing is really just a matter of writing a lot, writing consistently and having faith that you'll continue to get better and better. Writing is about struggling through and learning and finding out what it is about writing itself that you really love. —Laura Kasischke

A moodboard for my LEGENDBORN X BLACK MIRROR #YA dystopian space fantasy

I think this captures just a smidge of the vibes 💫

Happy Day 1 of #DVparty! #BVM

A dark space fantasy aesthetic mood board with a collage of photos. Vertically down, from the first column:
1. A violet, light-tinged hole framing a violet sky
2. A faint silhouette of a woman beneath colors like the northern lights
3. Two hands reaching towards one another
4. A sci-fi inspired, dark uniform with a high collar
5. A grand stairwell, perhaps a futuristic religious site, with a single silhouette looking up
6. Two romantic silhouettes against a starry night sky
7. A lone figure with a backpack, standing amongst a shroud of sand-colored fog
8. A hand covered in glitter
9. A silhouette standing in front of a blue-lit circular tunnel entrance
10. A black woman with glitter coating her shoulder, just the bottom half of her face is visible, lips tilted slightly up in a smile
11. A black woman screaming
12. A stream of light breaking through dark clouds
13. An eye turned to show only the whites
14. Figures in robes seemingly suspended in mid-air
15. A figure on a black, sleek futuristic looking motorcycle

None of the images are my own. They are all sourced from Pinterest

While you're guessing which #RevPit #10Queries post is yours, I've got five query letter tips to share based on opportunities for improvement that I noticed in multiple submissions!

My first #10queries and I had a blast sifting through these! I was even able to pick out mine hehe! Extremely grateful to the #revpit editors who took time to participate in this event, and for the advice they’ve given us individually and collectively 🥰

Maria Tureaud 🕯✒️🕯✒️ @mariatureaud.bsky.social · 8d

P4: Beautiful imagery in these pages. We need a paragraph after the initial opening to ground the reader a little. Why is the lack of “message” an issue? Why is MC reviled? Three or four sentences is all we need #RevPit #10Queries

Woke up with severe jet lag thinking that #10queries was today. Alas, one more sleep until the fun begins!

In the meantime, here’s a photo of the insane view/sunset from our writing retreat Airbnb in Scotland 🥰
