My goal for reading this year was 2 books a month, and I’m already behind 😭 DNFing a book didn’t help, but I find it tough to allocate time to reading when I have so much else to do

I really haven’t seen any agents on BlueSky for QuestPit compared to X, where there seems to be a solid agent presence. Surprised what a hold X still has!

A DEADLY EDUCATION x KATABASIS but make it sapphic.

🖤A witch with ‘control or be consumed’ magic
🖤A monstrous mystery
🖤A combative love interest with too many secrets
🖤A magical academy with too many libraries
🖤And an underworld realm with an (unhelpful) ghost

A shadowy school building, stars in the sky, and the text: an agents guide to the bells of le fay, adult dark academia fantasy, A. J. Sable The silhouette of a woman holding a ball of light in front of trees. The text reads: pitch, The price of magic is monstrous-literally. Lola Knight didn’t mean to murder her best friend. When her violent and volatile magic spirals out of control, instead of punishment, she’s enrolled in an elite magical academy to seek control before it kills again. But there she finds herself at the centre of a monstrous mystery; one that threatens the future of the entire witching world. A spell book lying open amongst candles and a mirror. The text reads: tropes, sapphic enemies to lovers, female rage, elite magical university, secret society, body horror, underworld realm. The shadow of a woman standing before a giant misty creature. The text reads: with the cathedral-like academy behind her, the gothic towers soaring above the treetops, it felt like she was in a fairy-tale. But if that were true, she was no princess. She was the monster they had to defeat.

ASHES…SUN ➕ HORIZON 0 DAWN

When a machine god severs the world from ancient nanotech, two engineer priests, a blademaster & her warrior-poet twin must hunt it for a cure—and revenge.

Failure will doom the world to divine wrath. Success will be deadly.

#QuestPit #Q #A #SF #F
A giant spaceship hovers over a dusty, walled fantasy cityscape. In the foreground, two figures stand in shadow looking out over the scene. The words "An Agent's Guide to CASCADE, by Gus Ryer" is along the top. His website, gusryer.com, is below. A slide with metadata and story elements for CASCADE: Genre: Science Fiction with Fantasy Elements Wordcount: +-130,000 It shows the book covers for the following: ASHES OF THE SUN, Django Wexler THE ARCHIVE UNDYING, Emma Mieko Candon ELDER RACE, Adrian Tchaikovsky NOTES FROM THE BURNING AGE, Claire North Ps5's Horizon Zero Dawn Below that are the following phrases: Found family Failed terraforming A vast, hidden history Nanotech magic system Epic fantasy quest in a sci-fi world Ancient mechanical gods Arachnid mammals & guard drones Sword (1) vs. Railguns (lots) A warrior woman with a winged helmet, armor, cape, and spear is along the right side of the image, fractured into triangles. Part of the following pitch is along the left: Lendi never asked to be a God Keeper—one of the engineer-priests who command ancient nanotech. Abandoned on their temple doorstep and raised under their strict thumb, she longs to escape. She almost gets her chance when an ancient machine god crashes to the planet in a blaze of fire. But, instead, Lendi is dispatched far away—alongside her devout friend—to investigate the disappearance of a remote village’s Keeper. And she’ll be tracked. In that village, Sedna has no patience for their Keeper’s rules or mysticism, especially since the fool vanished. She’s more concerned with defending her people with her warrior-poet twin. But, when a flood of malfunctioning nanites devours her town, Sedna and her brother are left with nothing but each other—and vengeance. As the four converge... Chapter 1 THE RUSH IS ON! This Tuesday, Planetfall, Inc. announced it would join the rash of megacorps racing to deploy terraforming infrastructure through the newly stabilized Taurine Strait. Previously dominated by New World Corporation, the franchised development of pseudoterra worlds is slated to be the hot market sector of the twenty-fifth century. -Excerpt from InvestSyder: Stellar Ed., June 15, 2398 The streets of Mahyan never fully slept. Night’s darkness, not yet broken by either the sun’s rise or the blinding, baleful Eye of Toros, wrapped Lendi more completely than her robes. Still, she couldn’t shake the feeling that eyes were on her. She wanted nothing more than to run. An eager vendor barred her way with his stringy arm. “A fine morning calls for a fine meal, miss.” He smiled and fanned out a selection of skewered mutton and whalemeat wrapped in sea grass. Pungent, spiced oil dripped onto the dusty street. Lendi glared at him, her legs practically vibrating with the..

A dark, blue themed collage. Is says: An Agent's Guide to The Earth-Shattering God. A 87,000 word adult fantasy novel by Lucia Judinova. In the middle is a veiled, mysterious woman, the sea angry behind her. Then a cropped picture of angry eyes, a clipart of a dagger and a vial. A quote that says: The feminine is not dead. Nor is she sleeping. Angry, yes. Seething, yes. A pitch. The background is brown and white themed, dark, a group of women from the back, all wearing white robes. It says: On the 100th anniversary of the gods' banishment, a common thief, anny Jame, accidentally uses her divine, elemental power and garners the attention of a ruthless cult wanting to bring the gods back. The priestess they send is everything she is not. Bianca is infuriating and beautiful, but mostly brainwashed by her Order. When Bianca learns Danny is her ticket to restoring the gods to their rightful place, she magically binds them together, forcing anny onto a reluctant quest to gather objects infused with godly essence. The background is dark and blue, a hallway, some pillars. There are comps: The Knight and the Moth, The Priory of the Orange Tree, Sweet & Bitter Magic, Godkiller, Six of Crows, A Dark and Drowning Tide. There is also a snippet fron the novel: Her vision tunneled. Moments before Danny passed out, the woman finally hurried closer. "So sorry!" she called, getting nearer. The pain receded and Danny collapsed to the ground, scraping her elbow. "I wanted to see if it worked. Terribly sorry about that. I'm Bianca." "Don't... care," Danny pushed through gritted teeth. Aftershocks of pain rocked her body, muscles tensing and unclenching "I had no other choice, Im afraid." Bianca knelt at her side. The rage channeled in Danny's gaze did not scare her off.She had the nerve to smile down at her. "You are a Link. A true, living and breathing Link. How wonderful to meet you." A blinding grin spread, showing incisors bent slightly to the sides. "We'll do great things together. Divine things, Daniela, absolutely divine." A dark collage: a woman raising rocks in the air, around a picture of a satin white robe, next to it a sweet, happy woman smiling, with long, blond curls. On the other side a picture of a medieval mercenary-looking outfit. Leather, boots, a dagger. Beneath a picture of a serious woman with short dark hair, face a little scratched up and bloody. Over the pictures, are the tropes and themes is bold blue lettering: girls supporting girls (rights and wrongs), powerful women, queer found family, sapphic love, forced proximity quest, battling propaganda and secret societies, magic stolen from gods with consequences, 'enemies to would kill for you' ragtag crew.

Here's a graphic I made to help pitchers understand why you may not have gotten a like. And there's lots more at play than the work itself. Shares welcome if you think it's reassuring!
