A new reality show, Last Chance Match, sets out to change that and gives the matchless another shot at life. Bitter waitress, Cera accepts the invitation, but is quickly deflated when she’s paired with the cocky and entitled Ryde.

Title Card
Text: An Agent's Guide To: The Daughter and the Nameless Son by Kelton Davis | Adult Fantasy | 100k Words | Querying Now!

Background: A red forest
Foreground: Six images surrounding a quote (from clockwise): A sunset, a hammer striking hot metal, a red-red arrow fletching, a red-haired archer, a grizzled old man, a red forest.
Text: As she walked away, freshly divested of every life she'd ever known—Crown Daughter, ranger, loyal servant to the demesne—she realized that, where she expected to find fear and despair, she found only a rapidly strengthening resolve.
She'd already lost everything.
All she could do was win it back.

Background: A red forest
Title: Comps
Images: Covers of GODKILLER by Hannah Kaner, THE JUSTICE OF KINGS by Richard Swan, and THE BONE SHARD DAUGHTER by Andrew Stewart. Arrows connect similarities between comps.
Text:

From BONE SHARD DAUGHTER: Disgraced Heir, Strong FMC (shared with both others)

Background: A red forest
Title: Pitch
Text: Niozene has never been good enough.

As daughter and crown heir to the Mother, a living goddess and ruler of her country, perfection is the only standard she’s ever known. Yet, despite her flawless scholar’s education and a polished career as a ranger, Niozene has failed to convince the Mother to look past her greatest flaw—she lacks the holy power to control the minds of others that ordains her family as living gods with divine right to rule.

When a shape-changing assassin nearly kills the Mother on Niozene’s watch, she is stripped of her titles and given an ultimatum: return with the assassin’s head, or face excommunication from both her homeland and the afterlife. Desperate, she accepts the task as a final chance to prove herself and show the Mother she deserves a place as her daughter.

Allowed only the help of Sonsan, a surly tracker and criminal also facing excommunication, Niozene dreads that she may have lost her chance at redemption before she has even left home. But when Sonsan reveals that he shares the same strange shape-changing power as the assassin, Niozene realizes his assignment to accompany her is more than coincidence. As they track the assassin deep into a forbidden land, confronting demons, ancient magic, and the ghosts that haunt their dreams and blood, they must uncover the truth behind their quest—and the buried history neither knew they shared—if they wish to live to see their promised redemption.

Subtitle: Dystopian urban fantasy / 75k words

Background: a male fighter's back pressed against a chain-link cage

For fans of Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil by V. E. Schwab, Chain-Gang All-Stars by Nana Kwame Adjei-Brenyah, Peaky Blinders, and The Last of Us

The pitch: Trapped in a bleak world, a cynical young woman with the ability to glimpse future possibilities grudgingly takes over running a cage fighting ring to save her sick friend--and is horrified to find that she's excellent at it.

Images: (1) a hand holding burning money (2) a figure walking down a city street filled with litter (3) an albatross flying across an orange sky (4) a crumbling hotel (5) a woman sitting at a red-lit bar (6) a fighter's back against a cage

Text: gritty neo-noir vibes | grounded fantasy | lyrical prose | FMC w/ "Breaking Bad" arc | found family | romantic subplot | cost of talent & obsession | hope's ability to save & corrupt

Opening lines:

It was the beginning of storm season, and Tremmel City was glossy and slick as a bloodied fist.

Arin didn’t mind. The wet paths up the caldera wall were dicey, but at least the rain muted the stench of trash and mule excrement. She pulled her jacket closed, the same black leather jacket she always wore. A relic of the past she couldn’t part with that swallowed her whole. She crossed her arms over her chest and climbed up the stone steps.

PENTA OR BUST

BLESS THE BRICKERS

CURB THE COGS

The graffiti was so repetitive it had long ago taken a melody in Arin’s head. She used to argue internally with each one: Don’t put your faith in the Pentathlon—only a fool would trust those odds. Don’t glorify the brickers—they only saved us once. Don’t demonize the cogs—some of us exercise self-control. But eventually the arguments petered out until all that was left was a bleak refrain.

Kira and Xavier have two things in common: neither is in a place to start a relationship and they're extremely attracted to each other.

It's only natural that they become friends with benefits.

All too soon, they're torn between following their hearts, or risking everything.

the comps of the book, though the third comp is a movie comp and has a book by the original author itself—i prefer the movie more over the book of the same name, hence i'm comping the movie adaptation instead of the original book <33

#QuestPit #YA #F #W #OwnVoices #AgentsGuide

A refreshed introduction to WHISPERS OF THE SEA, a YA Fantasy that will embark soon on its query journey.

Featuring:
Native Hawaiian Rep
Cultural Identity
Setting as a Character

The second slide showcases the pitch:

WHISPERS OF THE SEA follows the story of a teenage girl who embarks on a journey to rescue her uncle after he was mysteriously captured by a group of uniformed men sailing under the royal flags of a faraway kingdom.

Keahi must voyage across the seas to this distant isle where she’ll team up with a boy to track her uncle’s whereabouts. But in order to understand the dangers that lurk ahead, she’ll be forced to uncover a lifetime worth of secrets—and she must do so before it’s too late.

The third slide indicates that WHISPERS OF THE SEA might appeal to fans of: Disney’s Moana, Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo, and Curious Tides by Pascale Lacelle.

The book includes the following tropes/themes: found family, self-discovery within cultural identity, Hawaiian-inspired mythology, and adventure.

The final slide includes a snippet from the book that reads:

“Keahi’s legs were immobilized as her body tried to make the decision her mind could not. The feeling was strange for she had dreamt countless of times about leaving the island, only to seize the opportunity and awaken to find that she had been sold a nightmare instead.”

Purple and orange flames over a dark background. White text reads: The Guardians of Melya present, The Healer Witch. A Bewitched 97K Adult Fantasy by K J Silver

Purple and orange flames over a dark background. The white text reads: The pitch - Captain Onwyn Storm's life changes the moment he agrees to work for General Redwood, though he will soon learn just how much. While trying to prove himself and fulfill the bargain he's made to be rid of his father's corrupting influence once and for all he is forces to work with Lunary. A Healer Witch who has more secrets than he can keep track of and could very well cost him everything he has worked so hard for. Or his life, if he's not careful.

Purple and orange flames over a dark background. White text reads: The Prologue - And so Ylluriel had endured centuries of watching how they destroyed each other. Over land, resources, family feuds. The reason didn’t seem to matter, for they always found another excuse to turn against one another. The greed, the hopelessness. The anger and blood lust. The jealousy and despair. They had all infected the lands of Melya like a plague that no one could stop. Ylluriel had easily grown tired of staying aside. Of having the power to change things and not do anything to help the children that she loved so fiercely. Her love was so great that she was willing to go against Melya herself, the Mother of all. Her grandmother.
It wasn’t the first time she had defied her, after all, and she was sure it would not be the last. Especially not when a child, so desperate to live, had found her way to her realm.

BLACK MIRROR × SEVERANCE × THE GOOD PLACE

Having a happy death is a luxury service for the rich and Wren is the rising top salesman—until a cynical coworker and a depressed billionaire force him to rethink it all in a world where even your last smile has a price tag.

#QuestPit #A #S #SF #W

This image is a book cover design for a novel titled "Happy Death Inc." by B. Van Bodegom. The cover is divided into three distinct horizontal sections:

1. Top Section: Features a cartoonish blue sky with white clouds and a bright sun. At the top, a tagline reads:
"How much would you pay to die with a smile?"
The word "HAPPY" appears in large, playful, hand-drawn-style font, partially overlapping the sky background.

2. Middle Section: A photograph of a deceased man in a suit, lying in a casket. He has an exaggerated smile on his face, almost unnaturally wide and clean, suggesting artificial enhancement or post-mortem alteration. Overlaid on this image is the word "DEATH" in the same large font as the previous word.

3. Bottom Section: A cartoon city skyline in pastel tones, similar in style to the top sky background. The word "INC." is overlaid prominently in the same large font. At the very bottom, in smaller capital letters, it says:
"A Novel by B VAN BODEGOM"
