A plus-size baddie dog sits to survive after her ex leaves her with rent she can’t afford—then she meets a guy in the personal care aisle who’s everything her ex wasn’t: loyal, patient, and in desperate need of a dog sitter…which might just ruin her plan to swear off love forever🐾
#QuestPit #A #R #Q

Title page for an agent's guide to KNOW YOU BETTER, adult plus-size romcom. Green background, two character stock photos, photos in polaroids to of tattooed hand holding, a corgi + golden retriever, and a Red Wings game

"Know You Better" one-paragraph pitch: After her boyfriend of six years moves out and leaves her with rent she can’t afford, retail manager Sydney Bennett is barely hanging on—juggling long shifts and a side hustle dog-sitting for clients with the worst-behaved pets in Metro Detroit. When she meets Owen Sutton in the personal care aisle after a rant about two “demonic Pomeranians,” he’s instantly charmed—and in need of a sitter for his own, much better-behaved dogs. What starts as a business arrangement turns into something gentler and deeper: a slow-burning romance between two people still healing from betrayal. But as Sydney faces losing her apartment and Owen’s past betrayal comes back to haunt him, they’ll have to decide if the safety they’ve found in each other is worth risking their hearts for. On a green background with two stock images of the characters

A sample of writing on the left from Know You Better, as well as 4 images of comp titles, including their book covers and information. Savor It by Tarah DeWitt for the sizzling banter & tension. You With a View by Jessica Joyce for the emotional exploration of starting over. Just for the Summer by Abby Jimenez for acts of service as a love language. And Curvy Girl Summer by Danielle Allen for the plus-size confidence.

Tropes of "Know You Better" and character images, stock, along with information about the characters. Sydney Sage Bennett: 30, Aquarius, Retail Ops Manager. Empathetic. Competitive. Amazing cook. Loves hockey. Sarcasm as a shield. Pilates girlie. Brunch is her love language. Poor spending habits. Younger sister. Sworn off relationships to focus on herself. Owen James Sutton: 31, Cancer, National Events Manager. Patient and loyal. Flirty. Loves hockey. Bottles everything up. Former company co-founder. Amazing dog dad. Acts of service. Takes care of his elderly neighbor. Older brother. Prone to emotional spill-overs.

A collage of images that represent the vibe of the book, including a pastel blue and pink beach, a blue and pink sky behind palm trees, a pink ouija keychain, pain roller skates, pink hair, a pink building behind palm trees, fingers typing on a laptop keyboard, a black and white photo of a woman in 1920s attire, white converse on a longboard, a glowing red theatre sign, and a red and gold theatre stage.

Hearts surround a pink text box. The text reads: Sadie expects to be an amateur ghost hunter for a night at a haunted theater, not the sole witness to her favorite paranormal author’s death. Now she’ll have to team up with the author’s living sister to stop a vengeful spirit and help a ghost finish her final manuscript before someone else winds up dead.

MARTYR! x THE NAMES but isekai

Max sees no future for himself until death reshapes him into a noble in an alternate ancient East Asia. As Yoon, he has it all: status, affection, & a prediction that his love is lethal. Is life worth living if it comes at others’ suffering?
#QuestPit #Q #A #LF #HF #F

This is a flowery graphic with post-reincarnation Yoon on the left and pre-reincarnation Max on the right, but turned at an angle with their character artworks facing each other. Above fancy robe-wearing Yoon there are lines that read: In the stillness of death, he immortalized her as his ever-loving, ever-living flower. It would be an eternity of affection. Above florist-uniformed Max are the lines: It wouldn't be so bad if this were the end, he thought... In their family, inconvenient things were silently buried.
Especially death.

SAVOR IT x YOU, WITH A VIEW x YOUNG & HUNGRY

KNOW YOU BETTER is a tender, funny slow burn where the dogs behave better than the exes, and the crackling chemistry is impossible to ignore🐾

#QuestPit #A #R #Q #amquerying

Green background with the text "He falls first. His dogs fall harder." Images of a plus-size woman, a tattooed man, and a golden retriever + corgi. Sample text from the book: The text is accompanied by the cutest picture of Pawvel and Crouton curled up on my be—no, not ‘my.’ Laying on the guest bed.

Owen: i think the boys like you more than me
Owen: they won’t leave your room
Owen: they miss their new mom

The fight against the upward curve of my lips is almost impossible.

Syd: Maybe if you were nicer? Fed them more snacks? They love me
because they get cute accessories and snuggles
Owen: maybe if you were here to snuggle it would be better? ;)
Syd: You want your dogs to humiliate you in person? They would definitely choose me
Owen: oh i think all three of us would choose you, no question

Agent's guide to Know You Better, dual-pov adult plus-size romcom, by Brittney Farrell, on a split green background, with stock images of two characters, two dogs, a kitchen, and laser tag

Pitch & comp page on a split green background. Stock image of a corgi and golden retriever. Know You Better one sentence pitch: A plus-size retail manager dog sits to survive after her ex moves out, leaving her with rent she can’t afford—then she meets a guy in the personal care aisle who’s everything her ex wasn’t: loyal, patient, and in desperate need of a dog sitter… which might just ruin her plan to swear off love forever. Comp titles: 4 images of books. Savor It by Tarah DeWitt for the sizzling banter & tension. You With a View by Jessica Joyce for the emotional exploration of starting over. Just for the Summer by Abby Jimenez for acts of service as a love language. And Curvy Girl Summer by Danielle Allen for the plus-size confidence.

Opening page sample on a split green background:

Much like my life, my apartment is going up in smoke.

I choke as a black cloud billows out of the oven. My gourmet dino nuggets have turned to fossils.

“Oh fuck me,” I groan, reaching in to grab the sheet pan. I drop it on the stovetop as the lava-like heat bites through my oven mitt. Shrill barks echo beside me in tandem with the smoke alarm that’s now going off. It sounds like the inventory scanners from work in surround sound, live from Hell. Lovely.

“Piper, Phoebe, no!” I shoo the Pomeranians back from the still-open oven. Dog sitting was supposed to be an easy way to make money to get out of this shithole apartment, not burn it down. Even if I dream of it most days.

Gray smoke swirls around my galley kitchen, blending into the dull cabinets and walls. The scene’s taking me back to a night I’d love to bleach from my brain, but the soot clinging for dear life to the yellowed ceiling makes that impossible. “Thanks, Devin,” I spit into the ether, as if he can hear me from Chicago. And a big thanks to me, too, for treating my credit cards like Monopoly money.

Piper takes a piranha chomp toward my fingers—luckily still covered by oven mitts—while I wave at the haze circling their fluffy little heads. They charge forward again. “Get back, I’m trying to save you! This is your fault!”

My mistake for thinking they would be the easy, well-behaved angels I was assured they were. A ‘quick’ potty break turned into chasing a rogue Phoebe around my complex, begging her to slow down, while her sister snapped at my ankle. It took over thirty minutes to wrangle them, and the nuggets paid the price. I guess store-bought is not fine.

Pinterest style mood board on a green background, including images of: a tattooed hand holding another, laser tag, a plus-size woman, airplane, two dogs, a Red Wings game, a green kitchen, a tattooed man, pottery

The backdrop is tan and there are various leaves, hearts and lines decorating the overall grid of photos.

Middle row: A man in a waistcoat pointing at something. “Tick… Tock…” A man in a waistcoat sitting down.

Bottom row: Silver coins covered in blood. A group of people standing inside a clock tower. Rain on a cobblestone street.
