Final day of #PitchDis! Day 21! “Share anything about your book!”

I made quite a few graphics and moodboards for #QueerPit a little bit ago, and here’s a variation of one that I didn’t share! I had a lot of fun doing the 21 days of PitchDis, and I’m very excited to submit my pitch!!
A moodboard to showcase the vibes of my current manuscript. There are nine images in a grid. Upper left image: An old-fashioned looking ship on the water, with the horizon in the background. Upper middle image: Two women waist deep in the sea, a woman with dark hair on the left and a woman with light hair on the right. They’re embracing and kissing. Upper right image: A nondescript paper map with a compass overtop of it. Center left image: A brown woman facing right with her head tilted slightly downward. A couple strands of hair obscure her face slightly, her hands are clasped together in front of her face. Center middle image: Two longswords crossing in a duel. The background is a nondescript wooded area. Center right image: A white woman facing left with her head tilted slightly upward. One of her hands is holding a strand of her hair. Bottom left image: A close-up shot of the helm of a ship. Only the top half of the ship’s wheel is visible, there are ropes and sails in the background. Bottom middle image: A hand with two large rings, one on the pointer finger and one on the ring finger. The hand rests on top of a paper map. Bottom right image: A shot of an old-fashioned looking ship from behind and slightly to the right. The ship is on the water.

A mood board for the aesthetics of my novel, Of Gemstones and Divinity. There are nine pictures in a grid, all cool toned. Upper left: the view of the sea from the deck of a ship, looking at another ship in the distance. Upper middle: two women chest-deep in the sea, embracing and kissing. Upper right: a map with a compass and rope lying on top of it. Center left: side profile a brown woman with her hair tied up in a messy way, strands of her hair obscure her face slightly, her hands are clasped together in front of her face. A nondescript background. Center middle: two swords crossing in a duel with a forest-like background. Center right: side profile of a white woman with her hair cascading down her back, her face is tilted upward and one hand is playing with a strand of her hair. A nondescript background. Bottom left: a pile of rolled-up maps. Bottom center: two women laying together in the grass. A white woman holds small flowers and faces upward, and a brown woman leans into her, whispering something in her ear. Bottom right: the view of the sails of a ship from below.

A mood board for the aesthetics of my novel, Of Gemstones and Divinity. There are nine pictures in a grid, all are warm toned. Upper left: a map, candle, scroll, and coins on a wooden table. Upper middle: pirate ship on the sea in front of the horizon. Upper right: a spyglass overtop of some maps. Center left: close up of a pile of coins and glass bottles lying on sand. Center middle: two women laying together in a nondescript setting, both appear contemplative. Center right: an overflowing treasure chest sitting on sand, a spyglass and seashells are nearby. Bottom left: the deck of a ship, facing the door that leads below deck and the stairs that lead to the helm. Bottom middle: black boots stepping toward the camera. Bottom right: the deck of a ship, facing the corridor area between the cabin and taffrail.
