Thought I should share my #editorsguide for VIVARIUM, in which a bioengineer is lured out of his haven city by a smiling glass automaton. Now under revision!

Each of the four images in this post have the same background, a dark greenhouse with a brown path leading forward into a wall of windows. The text reads, "An editor's guide to VIVARIUM, NA ecohorror novel, written by Hannah K. Zhang, represented by Keir Alekseii." There are faint succulent designs in the background. Two textboxes on the greenhouse background. On the left: "PITCH — Nathan Hui is a bioengineer, working with his mentor to raise trees strong enough to grow in the desolate world beyond the glass-domed Metropolis. One day, a mysterious glass automaton appears in Nathan’s dreams and lures him out of the dome. In the red wasteland of the Old World, Nathan learns that the Metropolis is no longer a temporary laboratory for saving the earth, but a giant VIVARIUM—tended to by glass automata who have lost their original code." The textbox on the right reads: "SNIPPET — Its voice sounded like chiptune, that genre of music derived entirely from electronic noise. Each of its four monosyllabic words crackled with the metallic edge of outmoded technology, yet possessed almost human intention. The glass automaton spoke to me through dream-code, binary becoming breath: “Come to the edge.” I could hear the crescent sound of an unseen smile, a “love you bye” over the phone." The text at the top of the page reads, "FOR FANS OF:" with two book covers. The first is Monk and Robot (2025) by Becky Chambers, with the following text below: "the solarpunk, rewilded world and human-robot bonds of monk and robot (2025)." The second book cover is of the terraformers (2023) by Annalee Newitz, with the following text below: "the intergenerational environmentalism and anti-capitalist future of the terraformers (2023)." On the right side of the screen, a series of bullet points: "hashtag ownvoices neurodivergent, aspec, asian representation." "cli-fi with a hopeful end." "roko's basilisk." "weird automata." "breaking generational curses, chasing ancestral dreams." "finding the strength to go on in the darkest hour." on the left, a green and beige moodboard featuring a robot, greenhouses, nature, binary code, and a firefly in the center. on the right, several tumblr text posts arranged around lineart of a robotic hand reaching down to a human hand reaching up. the text posts, in order from top to bottom: "Hope has two beautiful daughters; their names are Anger and Courage. Anger at the way things are, and Courage to see that they do not remain as they are." next post: "never, ever, ever let the the stress of this bitch of an earth and its torment nexus stop you from making time for yaoi." next post: "you ever know someone and you think "god i love you. i wish we could've known eachother when we were carefree and 11. i wish we could've played together as kids" next post: "our fates are entwined whether you like it or not you stupid bastard"

MONK & ROBOT x UNTO LEVIATHAN

Nathan learns that the Metropolis--a glass-domed haven city--is actually a giant VIVARIUM, nurtured by automata who have lost their original code. #QuestPit #SF #NA #W

a square moodboard bordered on the left by a desolate red landscape, and on the right by a bright cityscape with trees in the foreground. six rectangular boxes in the center, clockwise from top left: the title VIVARIUM and the subtitle "sci-fi/ecohorror novella by hannah zhang" on top of an outlined succulent pot on a white background; a white lineart sun over a photograph of large leaves from below; a white text box with text reading "the anthem of the gardens was old world music: booming power ballads for the still-living earth" over a green-outlined globe; several sprouting plants drawn by one continuous white line over dark dewy leaves; a white text box with text reading "the automaton spoke to me through dream-code, binary becoming breath" over faint green binary numbers; a robotic and a human hand drawn with continuous lines meeting over shy leaf plants. the corners of the border sections have some hexagonal patterns. overly intricate moodboard with nine squares set on a white background. the leftmost row is green and brown themed, centering around a young desi woman summarized as "PETRA NOOR, metropolitan institute of medicine: med student who sleeps well, black cat, matcha latte." the middle row is blue and white themed, centering around a young east asian man summarized as "NATHAN HUI, metropolitan institute of bioengineering: nepo baby slash god pawn bio major, white cat, chamomile tea." the rightmost row is yellow and brown themed, centering around a young caucasian man summarized as "LEO MORGAN, metropolitan institute of mathematical sciences: blonde himbo compsci major, golden retriever, lemon soda." the bottommost box in petra's row is a green-themed studying aesthetic, nathan's is a blue-themed cozy bedroom aesthetic, and leo's is two lemon slushie drinks on a summery garden shelf. there is truly not enough space to describe everything else, i'm so sorry. two rows of text in translucent green text boxes. left box is titled "serious snippets," with the following snippets: "it was just a dream. this city of ours was still breathing." "if we didn't save it in time, i was to inherit a dead earth--and after all his toil, dr. morgan deserved better than to pass that on to me." "i felt the hollow presence of the glass vials in my pocket, weightless like cicada shells. i was searching for tumors." the right box is titled "unserious snippets," with the followingn snippets: "we hadn't expected to be found by the milkmen, and we definitely hadn't expected one of them to invite us to lunch." "why am i always naked in these freaky dreams?" "if i ran there and back fast enough, my friends would just think i'd shit myself breathless." "what are you, my dad?" there are six images behind the text boxes. clockwise from top left: inside a greenhouse, a set of yellow stairs, a forest, blue glass, a country road, and a city reflected over a body of water.

Medieval Comedy PHANTOM

Three PhD students decide to translate and stage a lost medieval play. But the finale is a summoning ritual--and the hero-playwright? A demon.

If the curtains don't rise on the DEMON PLAY, the consequences won't just be academic.

#YouDeservepIt #WIP #NA
a red and brown and gold themed moodboard, with a square in the middle with the text "DEMON PLAY, NA dark academia horror-comedy eventually by Hannah K. Zhang." on the left, atop the devil tarot is the following: "THE CAST: medievalist phia (translator), classical theologian camden (analyst), dramatic artist evan (stage adapter), a pagan demon who’s been trapped in the ruins of a medieval theater for centuries, and the hero of the play, who yearns for sunlight, and for someone to see him—even if by force. atop the reversed heirophant tarot is the following: "featuring: novel prose and script format intertwined, #ownvoices chinese- american classicist rep, and demon possession situationship. INSPIRED BY: watching PHANTOM OF THE OPERA while studying classics and medieval english at oxford (changed my brain chemistry 4ever)." in the top row, roman ruins and a church in a dusky golden field. in the bottom row, some medieval art of people in red and some medieval latin text

ecohorror MONK & ROBOT

Nathan learns that the Metropolis is not a temporary laboratory dedicated to restoring the apocalyptic world beyond its glass dome, but a vivarium—tended to by mechanical glass stewards who have reached the ends of their original code.

#WIPPIT #SF #H
a simple moodboard in four sections. backgrounds from top left clockwise: a dark image of five-leaved ivies, with faint lines of binary descending from the top of the image; the view from a lush, gently sunny greenhouse; a dark image of mimosa-like plants, with lines of binary ascending from the bottom of the image; a cityscape reflecting over water under a blue sky. decorations from top left clockwise: a white-lined graphic of a human heart, a text box reading: "VIVARIUM, a novella by Hannah K. Zhang," a white-lined graphic of a succulent, and a text box with bullets reading: "sci-fi eco-horror with a hopeful end," "the 'ultimate life form,'" "memory as meaning," and "generation ship, but a city." in the center of the moodboard is the white outline of a human silhouette, with a dark green solid silhouette slightly off-center behind it. the text box squares are also decorated with dark lineart of succulents and oyster mushrooms.
