#litagents, I’m currently querying two novels:

🫀 95k gothic horror (left pitch)
🌊 112k upmarket historical (right pitch)

If you love dark, twisty, genre-blending novels in the vein of Emilia Hart and Bridget Collins, let’s talk. 👀

#questpit #A #HF #Q

$Pitch: When a lonely stained-glass artist is invited to a crumbling country estate to restore a set of windows depicting the haunting story of Tristram and Isolde, he must reassemble the fractured pieces of his memory before a malevolent creeper destroys his last chance at love.$ Pitch: When a storm wrecks his island's passenger steamer, sparing only a girl believed to be one of the monstrous Finfolk, a grieving musician must uncover who she really is before more of his people die.

If your best friend fell down a sinkhole, would you go after her? Gio would.

If your lover died, would you do anything to bring them back? Talfein would.

Beta feedback is rolling in and being so helpful! Hoping to tackle edits in July for this WIP but let’s see 🤞🏻
In the meantime my brainstorming for my next WIP is going great ✨

I empathise… I had works done in my building from August last year to early May this year and it was a nightmare 😭 the first few months they were doing super loud stuff like breaking concrete and lots of drilling etc…
