Sharing my updated #agentsguide to my sapphic second-world fantasy/horror, feat:

🕸️remnants of a ruined kingdom
⚔️partnership born of survival
🏳️‍🌈reluctant-allies-to-lovers yuri
🩸a madness tied to blood
💀the enemy is home

Agents, I would love to share this with you!

A black title slide with bold orange typography introducing *Child of Silk and Shield*, an adult fantasy novel with horror elements, at 92,000 words. Three diagonal images show a woman’s eyes, a hand caught in web-like strands, and a woman’s face.

The pitch slide for *Child of Silk and Shield*. Orange text reads, “Survive the madness. Preserve the kingdom. Salvage your savior’s sanity.” Lora wakes in a foreign kingdom and meets Yaira, its last living swordswoman, whose madness makes her dangerous. After discovering that her mothers caused the kingdom’s suffering, Lora must destroy the kingdom to save Yaira and free it. The slide features a mist-shrouded castle, a worn ballet shoe, and a shadowy stone staircase in three diagonal image panels.

A “COMPS” comparison slide featuring the covers of *The Red Scholar’s Wake* by Aliette de Bodard, *The Starving Saints* by Caitlin Starling, and *This Gilded Abyss* by Rebecca Thorne. The accompanying text points to a WLW romance built on forced proximity, sapphic horror fantasy in a kingdom descending into madness, and haunting and possession as sources of suspense and danger.

Presenting my Agent's guide for WE WERE ALL DEFECTS - A YA Dystopian Thriller with a delicious slow-burn romance.

#ya #querying #agentsguide

A four-panel collage for featuring glowing text, "An Agent's guide to: WE WERE ALL DEFECTS" and "YA Dystopian Thriller ★ 78k words". The image panels display a 1950s retro diner with pink and white checkered floors, a silhouetted couple leaning in for a kiss against a hazy pink background, a vintage photo of beauty pageant contestants in matching blue swimsuits, and a stark, dimly lit elevator shaft.

A dark pink honeycomb background with glowing neon text titled "Welcome To Ruinview". Below the title is a split-flap counter showing "00" with blood splatters, labeled "DAYS SINCE LAST DROP:". The bottom half contains the text: The city of Ruinview has everything for those with total emotional control-the rest of society gets dropped underground through its pink plastic tiles. Alex's anxiety keeps her constantly hanging by a thread. But when she's faced with seventy-two hours to stop her mother's execution and save the boy she loves, she risks a dangerous plan to get them both out alive. The only problem is, the explosion it causes might collapse the whole surface.

A graphic titled "The Reviews" on dark pink honeycomb background. Seven black hexagons contain quotes such as: "Gorgeous writing wrapped around an intriguing story," "Great worldbuilding and a strong concept," and "I ABSOLUTELY loved it. I could not put it down. I cried. I laughed. I swooned at the romance.". A Spotify scan code sits in the bottom right

A graphic detailing "The Tropes" and "The Comps" against a dark pink honeycomb background. The listed tropes, separated by double-sided neon arrows, are "Friends-to-Lovers Slow-Burn," "Forced Toxic Positivity," and "Touch Her And You Die". The comparative titles section states the pitch "Blends the weaponized psychological control of Stephanie Oakes' THE MEADOWS" with "the survival-forged slow-burn romance of Jill Tew's AN OCEAN APART," and is accompanied by the cover art for both novels.

THE LAST NIGHT OF HOUSE GRAVES | Adult Gothic Fantasy Horror

The heirs of an aristocratic magical bloodline throw one final party beneath chandeliers made of bone, convinced their magic will hold until dawn.

It will not.

Querying soon. Excited for #dvpit tomorrow! #agentsguide

The image of Mont St Michel with a dancing skeleton overlaid. Text reads: An introduction to THE LAST NIGHT OF HOUSE GRAVES. An Adult Fantasy Horror, 95k Words

$Old anatomical drawings of bodies with the skeleton showing beneath. A lace doily is placed over the top. Text reads: Pitch - By dawn, everyone in House Graves will be dead. On the eve of a revolution, the last heirs of House Graves throw a final, glittering party as the tides rise around their island estate, cutting them off from the mainland—and from the magicless masses waiting to storm them at first light. Silvy has spent a year secretly working with the revolutionaries gathering on shore, certain she can destroy her family's corruption without destroying her sisters. Isould is poised to inherit the House, but as she prepares to celebrate her engagement, she has already given her loyalty, and her bed, to the authoritarian leader promising to restore their family's glory. And Merien sits in her wheelchair, her family's living proof of the miracles their bone magic can achieve, even as her wound begins to blacken. As the hours count down and the tide recedes, their alliances fracture, their guests become collateral, and the house that has always fed on the Graves family's dead begins to hunger for the living. With revolutionaries waiting on shore, the sisters must choose between the causes they would die for, the family they would kill for, and the sisters they cannot bear to lose.$

Purple mist over water. Book covers for The Starving Saints, Innamorata, and The Poet Empress shown, as well as the poster for Succession. Text reads: For fans of: standalone fantasy-horror, claustrophobic setting, body-based magic, toxic family legacy, gothic, brutal fantasy politics, corrupt political maneuverings

Image of Mont St Michel with dancing skeletons framing the text. Text reads: Excerpt - It is not truly a tale until someone is stripped from life to bone. Twelve hours of deceit, of treachery, of death, and the horror that entails. One final party, before the tides of revolution stormed the country of Verane.

Indulge me for a moment. Relax somewhere safe. Return to a time of aristocracy, of manners and lineage. Can’t you see it? Let House Graves sit once more on that island in the bay, windows illuminated from within, a party imminent. It is filled with conversations and laughter, and soon thereafter, it will be filled with screams.

House Graves will be gone again in no time at all.

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,"

#Agentsguide for my #amquerying YA contemporary FINE MEANS STOP ASKING: a story about an anxious, 18yo pansexual just trying to get through the day without another public panic attack, while dealing with starting university, moving away from home, and her first sapphic crush.

THE LOCKED TOMB x THE STARS ARE LEGION x Mad Max: Fury Road — in space, with #ownvoices sapphics!

Asteria wants to bring the entire universe to its knees. Calypso wants to stop her. But their secrets and obsession with each other threaten to destroy everything.

#amquerying #SFF #agentsguide

an agents guide to The Brightest Star in the Sky. adult sci-fi fantasy, lgbtq+

Twelve years ago, Asteria escaped from a research facility and became the God-King: the most powerful bitch in the galaxy.

Calypso Atticas, adopted daughter of the heroes who failed to stop Asteria, has spent the last twelve years hiding from the God-King and her cult.

When Calypso infiltrates Asteria’s spaceship temple as a prisoner, she must survive deadly “bloodgames” to prevent Asteria’s universe-consuming ascension. But her mission to save the galaxy might end up costing her her heart.

perfect for fans of THE STARS ARE LEGION (toxic, complex sapphic romance); SOME DESPERATE GLORY (queer, dark tones and spaceships); The Locked Tomb series (magic lesbians in space); Mad Max Fury Road (yes it's a cult but make it Aesthetic); Borderlands series (futuristic mayhem, space travel, and magic)

adult sapphic space fantasy / 99k words / first in a planned duology / dual-POV

First words:

The sooner Asteria accomplished what she'd come to the middle of fucking nowhere at the ass-end of the galaxy for, the sooner she could do something more interesting than overseeing her peons as they prepared for the live-streamed celebration. Like taunting her soon-to-be-prisoners.

Fate had handed her both the means to her ultimate ascension and a way to keep the fools who’d once tried to stop her out of the way. With any luck, they’d start begging for their lives soon.

And, of course, she was a merciful god. She’d give them their lives. She had their cage picked out, after all.
