INTRO SLIDE ALT TEXT Slide featuring an image of two boys in blue against a red backdrop, one has a shaved head, wears a black hoodie, and is shorter with dark eyes. the other has long blond hair, wears an olive jacket, and pale eyes. There is an image of a galaxy. WITNESSERS OF THE UNKNOWN, Young Adult, 89k Words, Speculative, LGBTQIA artist credit batsudie on instagram THE PITCH ALT TEXT On a starfield: picture features two boys, one has blond hair and points up at a meteor shower, the other follows his hand with his eyes, they lay in the bed of a pickup truck, surrounded by a desert landscape. WITNESSERS OF THE UNKNOWN When 17-year-old Christophe, a trans faith healer, flees his mother's cult after a miracle goes wrong, he joins forces with 18-year-old February, a UFO-forum moderating hitchhiker, whose hand is changing in strange ways after he caught a meteorite. They embark on a road trip to a UFO festival - before the cult can drag Christophe home and use him as their Chosen One. Artist credit tenderism on Instagram WITNESSERS OF THE UNKNOWN, COMPARATIVE TITLES, trans coming of rage as a caption, with a white arrow pointing to hell followed with us, and then a caption saying religious trauma and another saying speculative road-trip with white arrows pointing to MARK OSHIRO's into the light, and a caption saying claustrophobic small town with a white arrow pointing to OLD WOUNDS by LOGAN-ASHLEY KISNER On a star field and a moon, FIRST LINES God, Christophe prays. Please let me disappear. Please don't make me go up onstage, in front of everyone today. Just this once, I don't want to heal. He hides in the closet at the back of the church. The echoing voices tell him that the sanctuary is full. The dusty, out-of-tune piano pounds out a hymn, and his heart thuds dully inside him. He should be out there, helping pass out the cups of grape juice, the cups of wine, the wafers of Our Lord. He should be preparing for the healing, the laying-on of hands, when his mother will call him to the front.

Too bad she hates that his struggling company plans to turn a historical villa into a boutique hotel. His solution? Collaborating to change or stop the project, hoping the family business doesn't crash while he finds a way to make everybody happy Themes/tropes Lady and the Tramp vibes Unhinged main character Love at first sight (for him) Pining vs denial of feelings Myth reimagining Classy vs dork EXCERPT Something itches under Peleas’ skin, a little ache in his chest. Each word and gesture is a new picture of a future that couldn’t come faster. Thetis rests her free hand next the salad bow. He should take and place it to his heart, make her feel how hard it’s beating.

I recently finished my domestic suspense! As a DV survivor, it was so empowering and cathartic to write this story.

Stevie doesn't have to prove her innocence; she has to prove that her abuse was enough to warrant murdering her husband.

Dropping this here before I continue to doomscroll:

I wrote another book! I'll be scouring the MSWL posts later this week--but if any #litagents are looking--here is my #agentguide

#amquerying #YA #WritingCommunity
An agent’s guide to: Youth Without Youth 4 slides, all with dark backgrounds in black and blue hues with an ethereal snake silhouette and bone colored starbursts / splashes of fuchsia color Slide 1 /4 Intro: Hell is being a teenage girl -- and that’s before your blood turns a cerulean shade of blue & the teens in your town start dropping like flies - a YA spec horror Slide 2 /4 Comps: Four book covers: House of Hollow by Krystal Sutherland, Natural Beauty by Ling Ling Huang, Whalefall by Daniel Kraus, & Wilder Girls by Rory Power also for fans of: Jennifer’s Body, the Substance, & Alexander McQueen Slide 3 /4 The Pitch: Fashion-obsessed Imogen wants nothing more than to leave her teenage years behind, if only it were that easy. Still mourning her mother, her fashion dreams in NYC are shattered when her perpetually drunk dad “borrows” her college savings. But after witnessing her classmate’s sudden death, Imogen’s not sure she’ll even make it to graduation. Because the mystery ailment that killed him is circulating through her own veins, turning her blood a surreal shade of blue. As Imogen’s condition decays, she’s entangled with a cohort of friends—and her ex—in a quest for survival. But everything changes when she finds out there’s an antidote. She’ll do whatever it takes to get it, even if that means sneaking into a bioengineering skincare corporation and stealing it from an affluent society hellbent on perfecting eternal beauty. Because if she fails, Imogen will stay seventeen forever—as the next gruesome casualty. Slide 4 /4 Tropes: Moodboard with moody blues, sad girls, and deteriorating beauty used as a trope map for: hell is being a teenage girl, corrupt corporations, youth is forever, midwest wasteland, quest for a cure with the ex that ghosted you, beauty obsessed, olivia rodrigo meets the Replacements, eat the rich, & the teens are dying.
