One of two current WIP takes place in a world I'm calling incel utopia. It makes me feel gross writing it sometimes, but I will Sally forth anyway.

In a haunted fortress where blood seals loyalty and love defies death, a young healer marries a widowed sorcerer obsessed with his dead wife. As ghosts stir and power shifts, she must choose: free the bound soul—or become the next one trapped.

The image shows a dark, gothic hall lit by candlelight. Stone pillars rise into arching shadows, and the air feels heavy and sacred. At the center stands a young woman with long, wavy dark hair and pale skin. She gazes directly forward, her expression calm but solemn—almost haunted. She wears a simple, dark gown with no ornamentation. In her hands, she holds a large silver chalice filled with dark red liquid, unmistakably reminiscent of blood. The chalice glints in the candlelight, casting a crimson reflection on her fingers. Behind her, three tall candles burn steadily, their light flickering against the cold stone walls. At the top of the image, in bold, elegant serif letters, are the words: “THE HOUSE OF DHRATH.” Below her hands, smaller, is Text reading 'A Novel'

The Magic of Now The story of a 62-year-old farmer, the goat her sister may be reincarnated into, and the new age cult that could be behind it. Guide to By: Cailin Barrett-Bressack Rep: Alex Land, Mad Woman Literary Agency Gyla, 62-year old in mourning, encounters a mysterious goat on her farm that she suspects contains the consciousness of her recently deceased sister, Tina. Her quest for answers eventually leads to ReNewAll, a reclusive new-age community fixated on death and grieving– and with a goat on their brochures. In addition to nonsensical classes like Stargazing with Your Eyes Closed and Untangling the Truth through Macrame, ReNewAll and its neuroscientist leader teach The Magic of Now, a practice that allows members to vividly revisit memories of their deceased loved ones. As Gyla grows from skeptic and unlikely cult infiltrator to a willing member of ReNewAll’s inner circle, she must ultimately choose between immersing herself in an illusion of the past where Tina is still alive (and human), or dedicating herself to the imperfect (but tangible) version of her sister that is trapped inside the body of a goat. The Pitch The Comps cult comps Teal Swan Mother God Elizabeth Holmes quirky humor and warmly acerbic wit surrealism that highlights life’s bittersweet beauty speculative exploration of insular communities themes of memory and identity Eternal Sunshine Catherine House Aimee Bender How to Age Disgracefully A Snippet The Milky Way painted across the bowl of sky is technicolor and dizzying. The stars seem close enough that if she were to reach out and run her hands across the pricks of them, they’d snag splinters in her fingertips. The wind grows louder. Gyla walks towards her pond, the forest pressing into the shore on three sides. Later in the spring, the pond's surface will be laced with pale green algae, but this early in the season the water is smooth glass, reflecting the night sky and also—the goat. Gyla sees its reflection first, then draws her eyes up to where it stands motionless across the water. It’s hard to make out every detail in the muted blues of night, but she can tell who it is the moment she sees it. “Tina?” Gyla whispers. The goat cocks its head to one side in response. Gyla is not sure why she says her sister’s name aloud. It’s a physical knowing, the same way she senses weather changes in the marrow of her right knee. When she sees the goat, she feels her sister with her for the first time in months. The goat approaches her cautiously. Its ear is pierced where an identification tag had been, but the tag is gone, and Gyla can see the stars reflecting on the surface of the pond through the small empty window in the cartilage. Gyla knows she should be wondering if her mind is playing tricks on her. But she doesn’t waver in her conviction. Somehow, she can tell–this is her sister. It’s Tina.

An #agentsguide to my 1920s urban fantasy pitched as PEAKY BLINDERS x A MARVELLOUS LIGHT.

A gangster witch wants to escape her family’s criminal legacy, but she's bound by a blood oath, and the ritual to break it could cost her life.

🏳️‍🌈 sapphic
🖤 gritty
👵 multi-generational

#QuestPit #Q #A #F #RF
Prohibition of the Rebel Witch is an adult historical romantic fantasy complete at 107,000 words, written by Christi Playford. This pitch is laid out like the front page of a newspaper. To the right, a black and white photo shows a gangster woman from the 1920s smoking a cigarette. To the left, the headline reads, "Tension between Elemental and Blood Witches on the rise." Below the title is a paragraph stating, "Gangster witch, Lola Cortéz, wants to escape her family's deadly legacy and the criminal underworld of 1920s Minnesota to practice the magic she loves. But a blood oath binds her to them for life, and the only ritual strong enough to break it might swallow her whole. When she falls for her mortal enemy and the woman of her dreams, Lola must attempt the dangerous spell to take control of her future before her father offers her in marriage as a peace treaty to the new gangster in town, and she forfeits a chance at the only life she's ever wanted." Prohibition of the Rebel Witch is perfect for fans of Freya Marske, Francesca May, and Chloe Gong. Three comparative titles are laid out side-by-side in black and white, continuing with the newspaper theme. The first title is A Marvellous Light by Freya Marske. The bullet point tropes below a black and white picture of the book include: dysfunctional family, political intrigue, magical curse, suspense, and LGBTQ+ romance. The second title is Wild and Wicked Things by Francesca May. The bullet point tropes below a black and white pictures of that book include: sapphic romance, witchcraft, illegal magic, raising the dead, Gastsby-esque extravagance. The third and final title is These Violent Delights by Chloe Gong. The bullet point tropes below this black and white picture include: rival gangsters, dark and gritty, forbidden love, 1920s setting, criminal underworld. The first few lines of Prohibition of the Rebel Witch are laid out like the inside page of a newspaper. To the right, a black and white photo shows a woman cocking a revolver behind her back. The tagline at the top of the photo read, "Referene Image, Year 1924." To the left, with the first line in bold, is the beginning of the book: "Lola stared at the cold, limp body on the ground before her. The sharp, sulfurous scent of gunpowder stung her nostrils as blood snaked its way across the cement towards her oiled leather boots. In the dim light of the Minnesota warehouse, the silver edges of a hexagram gleamed against the dead woman's left wrist—mirroring the one on Lola's right. Blood witches. That's what they were. Lola was born into this gangster life a blood witch and she would die the same." This final, newspaper-style layout for Prohibition of the Rebel Witch is a moodboard, complete with twelve black and white images. From the top left, there is a photo (1) of two women kissing in a booth at a speakeasy. (2) An up-close image of a revolver. (3) A hexagram tattooed onto someone's wrist. (4) The same gangster woman smoking from the first layout page. (5) A full moon. (6) A woman screaming with her head thrown back. (7) A gothic-style Victorian mansion. (8) Dead human remains. (9) A collection of potion bottles and a spell book. (10) A gangster man in a three-piece suit. (11) Someone manipulating fire by magic. An finally, (12) a city-scape with Model T cars on the street.

Agent guide for I Am Chosen, an M/M paranormal romance. The picture is of a fiery orange and purple sunset over a highway. Photography and story by Dawn Berkoski Several photos are shown in this Moodboard for I Am Chosen, a paranormal romance. From the top left, a glass of aged scotch surrounded by butterscotch candies, a CEO standing in a high rise office, staring out a window, a giant hotel clock surrounded by Christmas decor, a photo of art depicting demons rising from hell, a sunset with black, billowy clouds hovering over an orange stripe, a dirty cement staircase near a darkened entrance, and the city of London as viewed from the river. Photography, except the man, by Dawn Berkoski Photo of a vibrant sunset over a graveyard as seen from the window of a fast moving vehicle. It reads: PITCH: IN A WORLD CONTROLLED BY CORPORATE VAMPIRES, TWO MEN STRUGGLE FOR AUTONOMY. WILL A CHANCE MEETING LEAD THEM TO FREEDOM, OR A WEB OF SUBTERFUGE, WHERE EVERY THREAD BRINGS A MONSTER OFFERING DEATH OR PERMANTENT CONFINEMENT? Photo by Dawn Berkoski Book vibes are all about the feel of the writing, setting, and story. The Blue Blood Series by Melissa de la Cruz Is used to represent the wealthy elite vampires living in New York, the fish out of water trope, dark secrets, and others. The Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice is used to represent young vampires rebelling against old rules and customs. Travel and setting also play a role. A plot point was inspired by the novel. Yakuza, Japan’s Criminal Underworld by David Kaplan and Alec Dubro, is used to represent some of the vampire rivals business practices. It plays a role in the series arch.
