Psst...Any #litagents or #editors on here that secretly love morally gray powers fighting for survival in a race against extinction? If you love slow-burn novels with multi-POVs and layered storylines, then this might be the book for you! BIPOC & MH Rep. included! #writingcommunity #amquerying

A literary agent's guide to 'Roseblade', an Adult Science Fantasy Romance novel of 91000 words by J.E.Peter.

The Pitch of Roseblade: A warlord with blood on his claws and a beast in his soul teams up with a captive amnesiac huntress to escape erudite demons eager to use them as a science experiment. Except escaping an artificial bubble-world will take more than just blood and blades, and it isn't easy to trust the person who'd rather kill you than kiss you.

Themes and tropes include: Jekyll & Hyde, Slow burn, Morally gray alien angels/demons, Enemies-to-Lovers, Amnesia, Forced Proximity, Wound-Tending, Multi-POV, Dual Timelines and BIPOC x Mental Health Rep. in both Main Characters.

Comparative Titles include: The Books of the Raksura by Martha Wells, Guild Hunter Series by Nalini Singh, Crescent City by Sarah J. Maas & The Shepherd King Series by Rachel Gillig.

Yep. And no matter what project, no matter what genre of writing - everything is pretty much chaos in my head. 😅 #amwriting #writingcommunity #booksky

Your early draft is never wasted.
It taught you structure.
It sharpened your instincts.
It proved you can finish things.
Those drafts are the soil your story grows in.

This is so random, but if you are the author of A WOMAN NOBLE, please find your QM submission to me and send me a message? I'm trying to read manuscripts that have offers on them and I cannot find this on in my queue ANYWHERE, yet I added a reminder that a decision is due soon. I feel so stupid!

Must we still write to the current tastes/trends in the market, or can we still write the way we love about the things we love, even if those books might never 'fit' what readers want out there? I have so many stories I wish to write, but I'm afraid they'll never be loved as they are. #amwriting

Well, my ship's already sinking. I'll just whip out my umbrella and keep writing at this point. 🥹 #amwriting
