This Years of Red Tears movie poster features the MMC both in his past life as a present-day florist with flowers on the left and in his current life as an ancient noble holding a book on the right. He’s surrounded by wispy clouds featuring a faceless woman in the background. Near the top, there’s descriptive text that reads: “A modern-day failure turned aristocrat, an alternate East Asian past, a prophecy to harm others with his love, and an exploration of trauma and privilege. In the center are laurels ft. quotes that say “Masterful, lyrical prose,” beta #1, “dreamy,” #Revpit editor, “fascinating,” literary agent, and “breaks my heart,” beta #2. The pitch at the bottom: Love & success have eluded Max his entire short life. Being spontaneously reborn as an ancient noble should mean he could completely leave his self-doubt & troubled family behind. However, wealth & unconditional devotion from others come at a cost. To live how he wants with who he wants, he must wed a stranger & become the next foreign minister. All while ignoring a prophecy saying others will suffer bc of his affection. Querying this September

THE PIRATE, THE PRINCESS, AND JOHN is now in query inboxes near you ✨

#PosterPit #YA #F #LGBT #Q #amquerying
A faux movie poster for The Pirate, the Princess, and John featuring a silhouetted ship sailing on a layered blue ocean toward a distant castle under a pale moon, with three character names at the top: “Amir (the pirate),” “Mira (the princess),” and “John (for now).” Below the ship is the quote: “A ship in harbor is safe, but that isn’t what ships are built for.” The title appears in large white serif letters, and at the bottom is the tagline: “YA fantasy, 82k, multi-POV; anti-colonial, non-Western, political intrigue; besties to lovers, found family, platonic ‘touch her and die’; strong girls, big feelings, sharp prose; diverse, queer, magical.” The author’s X handle @SARADURANAUTHOR and Bluesky handle SARADURAN.BSKY.SOCIAL appear in the lower right corner.
