With the rise of "strong," kickbutt, don't-need-a-man FMCs, I feel left behind

Maybe it's my chronic pain condition, or b/c I've dreamed of love ever since I was a little girl. But I've been hungry for weak, scared FMCs who can't throw a punch, but fight anyway to find their HEA #booksky #romantasy

A collage with the covers of ACOTAR, Fourth Wing, From Blood and Ash, and Powerless in the background. The foreground reads, "For the readers who
aren't 'STRONG GIRLS.'
Who can't throw a
PUNCH to save their
life. Who dream of LOVE."

A Makoto Shinkai-esque seaside story sounds magical 💕 Your Name is one of my absolute favorites, and this description also reminds me of a Ghibli classic, When Marnie Was There. Congrats on the engagement!

JUMANJI x PRIORY OF THE 🍊 TREE

Mage is trapped in a strange, fantastical dungeon disconnected from everything she knows about reality, unless she can win the game, alongside 9 other captive young women.

Oh, and she has wings and new powers, too.

🔥IN THE ASHES x PRISON HEALER

17yo Fae is having a terrible week:

🥀 Her city—set ablaze by “peaceful” rebels
🥀 Rulers—assassinated
🥀 Neighbors—warring for food
🥀 Childhood betrothed—ditched her to save himself

Rumors fill the streets of a haven for refugee girls. 3 days to make it

TWILIGHT w/ a Black MC

When 16yo Haitian-American Mia & her fright-loving older bro move to a strange town, she never expects to meet 3 wolf-like HS boys who run the place.

They’re obsessed w/ her for reasons beyond her grasp. She could be the answer to a supernatural war, or the cause

This sounds really cool! I'm curious, what do you mean by "to wear out her anaesthesia to the world"? Either way, great pitch!

Shanice Felix | Querying Writer @shanicefelix.bsky.social · 10d

We love a star-crossed romance!

Shanice Felix | Querying Writer @shanicefelix.bsky.social · 10d

This reminds me of when Aang from ATLA vowed to never use fire bending again in S1. A very interesting concept!

Shanice Felix | Querying Writer @shanicefelix.bsky.social · 10d

The stakes are really good! It sounds like a sea adventure for the ages

It's okay! Don't worry! You can pitch up to 7 times for one project today, with a max of one pitch per hour. So you can still add at least 3 more posts I think before 8 ❤️

Shanice Felix | Querying Writer @shanicefelix.bsky.social · 10d

I wonder if the sister's will reconcile or not. Great pitch!
