For the upcoming #DVPit, here’s an #agentsguide for SATURNINE, my #A #F about a student who makes a deal with a necromancer to raise her professor from the dead🖤

🎓Dark Academia
⛪️Southern Gothic
🚜 Dropout, outsider MC
🐍Snake familiar
🫀Twisty romance
🌙Unique magic system

#amquerying #agentguide #R
A dark and moody background with a stone arched gate, tree branches, and Spanish moss. An emblem of two white snakes. The text: SATURNINE An adult dark academia fantasy 97,000 words A dark background of a snake marble sculpture. The text over it: Pitch Harper Claire’s dreams of an academic career died with her trusted mentor. When the faculty dismisses the blatantly ritualistic scene as an accident, she drops out of Occult Mor University, vowing to prove it was murder. Her best chance is Rich, a washed-up grifter claiming he can raise the dead for a single day—except his rare magic has been sealed by a sigil carved into his flesh. Harper offers him a deal: if she lifts the sigil, he’ll bring her mentor back. But as they sneak across Mor’s waterlogged grounds and their attraction deepens, Harper fears the sigil holds back more than he admits. Some powers are too devastating to ever be unleashed, and Harper’s debt to her dead mentor might cost her a lot more than a broken heart. Dark background of a vaulted classical ceiling. The title says: For fans of. Four book covers: Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo with a note: Gritty, modern tone, morally messy heroine, YEARNING. An academy for liars by Alexis Henderson with a note: Institutional corruption. Katabasis by R. F. Kuang with a note: Underworld descent. Starling House by Alix E. Harrow with a note: Small-town, Southern Gothic atmosphere, bittersweet love story A collage of images: a silhouette of a woman with a short messy bob. A man with a muscular back. A statue of Cupid and Psyche. A road sign that says GATES TO HELL not a public road. A facade of a red brick, collegiate style building. A woman in short black skirt and lacy bustier lying on a bed with a notebook and headphones. The text layered over says: Forced proximity He falls first Touch him and die Working class, outsider MC One of a kind magic system A snake familiar Quotes from the book: Disco slept in her bed sometimes, curled in the crook of her shoulder, snout tucked against her neck. He prayed she would never learn the true purpose of the snake. She just watched him, silently and intensely, in her signature deep dissatisfied , as if she saw his heart, liver, and lungs, bleeding and throbbing, where she wanted him to be full of magic instead. SATURN SAVE US "Harper... the name of my pain,"

It’s happening! I officially #amquerying my YA solarpunk novel! 😅🤩😳✨🌳☀️🌞. So here is the #agentguide for SPIRITS FED BY SUN AND STREAM

#agentsguide #ya #fantasy #scifi #clifi #solarpunk
An Agent’s Guide to SPIRITS FED BY SUN AND STREAM by Leah Holleran. YA sci-fantasy, 99k words. Light green background with tree designs and 4 moodboard images PITCH: In an eco-utopia where people’s spirits are bonded with trees, an anxious teen seeks a cure for the suspicious blight that’s killing her best friend’s soul. When a strange sickness starts infecting soul trees and leaves her best friend in a coma, fifteen year old Willow won’t let her panic attacks get in the way of finding a cure. She ventures through the wilderness to the legendary City, a former ecological marvel now ravaged by the same blight. Her search suggests the answers she needs lie in the City’s eco-tech. But in exchange for access, the City’s leader—who has no soul tree and covet’s Willow’s ability to use her soul tree’s senses—demands a price. Willow must choose: her freedom and any chance of returning home, or the cure that will save her best friend’s soul. SPIRITS FED BY SUN AND STREAM by Leah Holleran COMPS: Studio Ghibli for the whimsy and nature magic SKIPSHOCK by Caroline O’Donoghue for the rich worldbuilding grounded in character THE ONES WE’RE MEANT TO FIND by Joan He for the themes of love for family and found family strong enough to save the world MONK AND ROBOT by Becky Chambers for the solarpunk, queer-normative society OPENING: Willow’s soul leaves her body when she realizes how badly she messed up this time. Only for a second, though. No need to show Elm she’s upset enough to send her spirit into her soul tree to calm down.

Accursed Moon Soul 🏴‍☠️😈🗡️

The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi x One Dark Window

An ex-pirate searches for a cure to a strange mark left by the crew she betrayed, but her past will catch up and consume her mind and soul, no matter how far she runs.

~ #agentsguide #agentguide #QuestPit #Q #A #F #DF
In the centre is the logo for 'Accursed Moon Soul', the pictures surrounding the logo from left to right - a ship wheel, someone falling into water, a woman holding a glowing orb, a ship sailing through fog, a woman in a row boat, a manta ray, the same woman from the third image bloodied and holding a sword, a hand touching their reflection, and the silhouette of a woman with red eyes 'Evelyn Farrow is an infamous ex-pirate who is haunted by the night she murdered her crew. The same night she was branded with a strange mark when she wanted no part in her crew’s dealings with a devil. Determined to put her pirate days behind her and find a cure, Evelyn has lied her way into a new crew of faithful and upbeat treasure hunters. Whilst chasing a rumour of a hidden artefact, the mark finally awakens, and an otherworldly voice makes home in her mind. An alteration to the strings of fate has bound them together, and in order for this entity to reignite a centuries-long grudge with the gods, it needs Evelyn to obtain this artefact by any means necessary. Unending nightmares of that fateful massacre serve as a reminder of what she’s running from, and as the mystery surrounding the mark and this entity unfold, her lies begin to unravel. Freedom lies in finding the courage to face her past, or she risks losing the crew that would sail to the end of the world to save her.' Graphic to display comp titles and tropes, the three include The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi by Shannon Chakraborty, One Dark Window by Rachel Gillig, and Baldurs Gate 3 by Larian Studios. The text reads from left to right: Dark pasts, pirate/sailor fmc, psychological horror, found family, 'own voices' mental health rep, queer cast, alter-ego, high stakes treasure hunt, battling internal monsters, 'bantering misfits' group dynamic On top of a dark underwater background, the text reads: 'Waves crashed against the lone pier as the sea waited to drown me. I had no recollection of how I got there, teetering like I was on the edge of a great precipice. The dense fog and heavy stench of brine disorientated what little of myself I still had some control over. I stared out into the nothingness. The nothingness stared back. This was how the Manta Ray and her terrible legacy would finally come to an end. I’d had one tattooed across my back, in commemoration of the title. Its white markings were intentionally skeletal, with a wingspan that wrapped around my shoulder blades. Now, the ink prickled, wanting to remove itself as much as I was desperate for it to. The name had meant something once, before it became an ironic joke. The creature’s alternative name of devilfish was a dull ringing in my ears. Every waking moment, the reason why haunted me. I’d had enough. - Chapter 1'

Wanted to bring my EAT OUR DUST #AgentsGuide over from the 🐦 site!

Agents, this 96k-word MS is for you if you want:

⚡Queer, non-binary & (ownvoices) chronic illness rep
⚡FAFO-style mentorship
⚡Car chases as a metaphor for power struggles w/the govt
⚡Big 5 editor interest

#agentguide #amquerying
Background image of a red car parked in an orange field. The white text overlaid on the image reads "An Agent's Guide to EAT OUR DUST by @AlienWrites." A pitch document for an adult action-adventure sci-fi story over a textured gray-blue rock formation background. The left side shows the pitch headline and synopsis in white and orange text, describing a chronically ill 20-something named Jess Paley and her mentor on a cross-country road trip to stop the apocalypse. The right side displays "COMPS" with three book covers: "A Beginning at the End" by Mike Chen, "Station Eleven" by Emily St. John Mandel, and "Mad Max: Fury Road" movie poster. A mood board layout over the same rock formation background, featuring nine images in a grid. Images include desert landscapes, abandoned cityscapes, a vintage compass on old maps, worn leather bags, a person in a gas mask on an empty road, boots on cracked earth, and silhouettes against an orange sky. Text on the left lists story elements: the accidental hero, FAFO-style mentorship, and car chases as metaphor for power struggles. Text on the right lists: the stoppable climate apocalypse, invisible illness rep, and queer rep. A snippet of dialogue on a dark brown background with orange-tinted vegetation visible at the edges. White text shows a conversation between characters about leaked research results called "the dirt study," with Ricky offering Jess car keys to drive and expose world-ending secrets. The final line "That's the spirit!" appears in orange text.

Revised Agent's Guide for CASCADE!

Got a hankering for a SFF adventure mashup? Think Horizon Zero Dawn with nanotech magic, alien fauna, and failed terraforming. Oh, and a hunt for a (supposedly) dead machine god.

Now #AmQuerying! #AgentsGuide #AgentGuide
A giant, spaceship hovers over a dusty, walled fantasy cityscape. In the foreground, two figures stand in shadow looking out over the scene. The words 'An Agent's Guide to CASCADE, by Gus Ryer' is along the top. His website, gusryer.com, is below. A slide with metadata and story elements for CASCADE: Genre: Science Fiction w/ Fantasy Elements Wordcount: +-130,000 It also shows the book covers for the following: ASHES OF THE SUN, Django Wexler THE ARCHIVE UNDYING, Emma Mieko Candon ELDER RACE, Adrian Tchaikovsky NOTES FROM THE BURNING AGE, Claire North Ps5's Horizon Zero Dawn Below that are the following phrases: Found family Failed terraforming A vast, hidden history Nanotech magic system Epic fantasy quest in a sci-fi world Ancient mechanical gods Arachnid mammals & guard drones Sword (1) vs. Railguns (lots) A warrior woman w/ a winged helmet, armor, cape, and spear is along the right side of the image, fractured into triangles. Part of the following pitch is along the left: 2,000 years in the future, a galactic human empire fell, severing TRAPPIST-1e from other inhabited worlds before its terraforming could be completed. Wild nanotechnology ravaged the land, and civilization fell into a dark age. Eventually, the God Keepers—engineer priests who restored ancient nanotech—rose to power. While Lendi dreams of life outside the God Keepers, Falder is desperate to keep his best friend from abandoning their order—and him. But, when an ancient machine god crash-lands in a ball of fire and gray death, it severs Keepers from nanotech, plunging the world back into chaos. Meanwhile, Sedna and Renfrik have little patience for Keeper rules or mysticism. But, when a flood of nanites in the god’s wake consumes their home, they’re left with nothing to protect but each other... Chapter 1 THE RUSH IS ON! This Tuesday, Planetfall, Inc. announced it would join the rash of megacorps racing to deploy terraforming infrastructure through the newly stabilized Taurine Strait. Previously dominated by New World Corporation, the franchised development of pseudoterra worlds is slated to be the hot market sector of the twenty-fifth century. -Excerpt from InvestSyder: Stellar Ed., June 15, 2398 The streets of Mahyan never fully slept. Night’s darkness, not yet broken by either the sun’s rise or the blinding, baleful Eye of Toros, wrapped Lendi more completely than her robes. Still, she couldn’t shake the feeling that eyes were on her. She wanted nothing more than to run. An eager vendor barred her way with his stringy arm. “A fine morning calls for a fine meal, miss.” He smiled and fanned out a selection of skewered mutton and whalemeat wrapped in sea grass. Pungent, spiced oil dripped onto the dusty street.
