My Updated Agent Guide for BAIT, an adult romamce complete at 80,000 words 🎥

#amquerying #agentguide
A picture with the text "An Agents Guide to Bait. Adult-Romance-80,000". A photo of a couple in shadow, and the horizon of Los Angeles draped in a sunset color palette. A list of tropes and themes such as Friends to lovers, idenity, dreams etc. Comp titles are Tommorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin, Reel bye Kennedy Ryan, Between Friends and Lovers by Shirlene Obuobi and When I Think of You by Myah Ariel. The Pitch "Dreams and ambition will get you far in Hollywood. But for Brandi, Dean andnAdrian it might be enough when the industry mixes business with family. Three UCLA students try to define theirnlegacy in a film industry built on the shoulders of the past. They say never meet your idols? What do you do when you're realted to them." A collage of photos surround the pitch such as the Hollywood sign, a Cinema board that says "See you at the movies", an image of an Academy Award, and three photos of a couple. A collection of images from animated, and live action movies: Castle in the sky, aladdin, coraline, Cinderella, Anastasia and Swan Princess

WHAT VENGEANCE MIGHT BRING

For fans of epic fantasy, elemental magic, dragons, reluctant heroines, and romantic subplots.

✨Rich world building
🗝️Found family
✨Secret history
🗝️Female rage
110k words || adult epic fantasy || Madelaine Atteberry An Agent’s Guide to WHAT VENGEANCE MIGHT BRING The background image is a yellow butterfly resting among a group of cobblestones. On the other cobblestones are faint runes. PITCH Rowen Ember would rather eat dirt than admit to her fabled ancestry, but violent attacks have revealed a mysterious gap in her people’s collective memory. Alongside a lordling, a bounty hunter, a markswoman, and a young rebel, Rowen must finally face that fairy tale that haunts her family name. Background image is a person with a torch exploring an abandoned brick building. Along the margins are faint runes. Below the pitch are three images of women superimposed with the words “anxiety” “rage” and “grit”. COMPS- three titles: The Obsidian Tower by Melissa Caruso, Air Awakens by Elise Kova, and Horizon: Zero Dawn. VIBES: action-packed quest; lost, runic language; found family; ancient ruins; dragons; reluctant chosen one; rugged, natural setting; swords, shields, & elemental magic. Background image is a forest path. Faint runes line the margins. SNIPPET: “Split knuckles. It’s always the split knuckles that last the longest. Every motion, each grasp of a mug, clench of a quill, idle drum of the fingers reawakens that nagging sting. What good are healers anyway, if they can’t fix the split knuckles after everything else? Rowen scowled down at her hands, covered in soft green bruises that had been nudged along that afternoon by a local healer. Of course, they hadn’t bothered with the angry, miniscule lacerations that crested her knuckles, but they had taken care of any lasting damage caused by that day’s spars. Conscious of the guaranteed response, she spread her fingers across the table before her, wincing as each joint protested the movement.” Background image is a crumbling ruin against a dark sky. Faint runes line the margins.

O.C. Umeghalu is querying a YA Fantasy✨⚔️
@ocumeghalu.bsky.social
*BIG FIVE EDITOR INTEREST*

the #agentguide for the dual-pov YA Fantasy (109k) I'm currently querying! 📖

AWAKENING is a story on the effects of guilt, the consequences of betrayal and the summons of destiny 🗡️🥀

REALM BREAKER x ATLA x HEIR

#YA #F #querying #agentsguide #BVM #writing #litagents
an agent's guide to awakening by o.c. umeghalu the pitch - For Cindren Alacaster, guilt is her anchor as much as it is her jailer. Thrust upon a whirlwind journey to rescue her friend from certain death, she finds that the abnormality of her golden eyes speaks of a heroic ancestry whispered amongst the forsaken. Something once slumbering has emerged in totality, painting her destiny as dark as the cloak she was born to wear. As the country’s prince, Nazar Heiron should know better than looking to follow his own heart. But the stirring of longing he’s hidden deep within forces him to walk the razor-thin line of desire and treachery for the only girl he’s ever loved: his personal sentry. And when the truth of the last war to be fought on his country’s soil emerges, he must decide whether or not to put into practice once empty words that championed justice or finally step into the hypocrisy he’s believed to nurture. themes/comps - Forged Family (the Gaang, Quil and the others) Reckoning with Inner Turmoil (guilt, indecision, shame, responsibility) Ancestral Abilities (think Aang’s/Corayne’s birthrights) Bloodied Crown (think Zuko grappling with the Fire Nation seeking to conquer the world/Corayne looking to close Spindles opened by her uncle) Looming Global Threat (ie: Firelord Ozai/Taristan) Romantic Subplot (different love interest for each MC) Complicated Sibling Relationship (ie: Azula and Zuko) Betrayal (ie: Aiz and Quil) samples

Coming soon to the #querying trenches: LEARNING FOR YOU, an adult contemporary romance complete at 90k words about two new high school English teachers competing for a single spot in their department due to impending budget cuts.

#agentsguide #agentguide #writingcommunity #amquerying
Cover page for agent guide featuring book title (Learning For You) as well as line art drawings of a book stack with flowers, and a couple leaning on one another The Pitch: Due to budget cuts, new high school teacher Jules Clark’s dream job is in jeopardy before it’s even begun. With each department set to get rid of a new teacher, Jules must compete with the annoying(ly handsome) former lawyer, Adrian Pierce, to keep her place. Where she finds herself in over her head, he seems to breeze through it all. He also pops up everywhere, from heated encounters in the copy room to a tension-filled work karaoke league, culminating in an assignment to collaborate on a joint teaching unit. As they spend more time together, Jules realizes she and Adrian have more in common than she realized, including a simmering chemistry that becoems impossible to ignore. She eventually lets Adrian in, but worries that with one job and two of them, things can only end in disaster. As December looms closer, old fears of not being good enough consume Jules. If she lets them take over, she could lose it all—not only her job, but also the love that’s right in front of her. Tropes and Vibes: 💜 Golden retriever love interest 💜 Workplace rivals to lovers 💜 Karaoke league shenanigans 💜 Complicated family dynamics 💜 Forced proximity/collaboration 💜 Strong female friendship With the academic setting and workplace rivalry seen in You Between The Lines by Katie Naymon, One on One by Jamie Harrow, and The Make-Up Test by Jenny L. Howe Moodboard for the project, featuring hazy yellow images of a school, desks, bookshelf, a blonde woman studying, a silhouette of a couple kissing, and a cute dachshund.

Wanted to bring my EAT OUR DUST #AgentsGuide over from the 🐦 site!

Agents, this 96k-word MS is for you if you want:

⚡Queer, non-binary & (ownvoices) chronic illness rep
⚡FAFO-style mentorship
⚡Car chases as a metaphor for power struggles w/the govt
⚡Big 5 editor interest

#agentguide #amquerying
Background image of a red car parked in an orange field. The white text overlaid on the image reads "An Agent's Guide to EAT OUR DUST by @AlienWrites." A pitch document for an adult action-adventure sci-fi story over a textured gray-blue rock formation background. The left side shows the pitch headline and synopsis in white and orange text, describing a chronically ill 20-something named Jess Paley and her mentor on a cross-country road trip to stop the apocalypse. The right side displays "COMPS" with three book covers: "A Beginning at the End" by Mike Chen, "Station Eleven" by Emily St. John Mandel, and "Mad Max: Fury Road" movie poster. A mood board layout over the same rock formation background, featuring nine images in a grid. Images include desert landscapes, abandoned cityscapes, a vintage compass on old maps, worn leather bags, a person in a gas mask on an empty road, boots on cracked earth, and silhouettes against an orange sky. Text on the left lists story elements: the accidental hero, FAFO-style mentorship, and car chases as metaphor for power struggles. Text on the right lists: the stoppable climate apocalypse, invisible illness rep, and queer rep. A snippet of dialogue on a dark brown background with orange-tinted vegetation visible at the edges. White text shows a conversation between characters about leaked research results called "the dirt study," with Ricky offering Jess car keys to drive and expose world-ending secrets. The final line "That's the spirit!" appears in orange text.

Now, after a major revision, down to a punchy 75k and scarier than ever. #amquerying #agentguide #agentsguide
amberbairdpdx.bsky.social Amber Baird @amberbairdpdx.bsky.social · Feb 1
#Q #agentsguide KINSHIP, 84k, #A #CT w/ #LGBTQ rep. Megan’s reunion with her long lost brother is complicated when he kills his lover. Luckily, Megan’s prepared for this. Subversion of gothic tropes + send up of true crime culture. #miserypit
Amber Baird: KINSHIP, 84k word horror-thriller agent's guide. Subversion of gothic tropes, long-lost siblings, true crime podcast, prey, family secrets, psychedelic, unhinged queer female protagonist, generational trauma, predators, meat, bears, remote California location, dark humor. KINSHIP blurb. Megan's already trying to avoid the heat for what happened to her girlfriend's husband back in San Francisco, and now she has to help her incompetent new brother clean up a murder he commits, because that's what family's for... probably. Now if she wants to get back to her lover in one piece, she'll have to navigate her brother's taboo affections and dodge multiple suspicious parties. So much for her quiet weekend away. KINSHIP first lines. Driving all night across the state in a part of California no one vacations in, a part that still belongs to the animals, my eyes burn for sleep. Car flanked as it is by clear paths as far as I can see, would it be so bad to let my eyes drift closed for just a moment? KINSHIP, for fans of: Maeve Fly by CJ Leeds (surrealism), My Sister the Serial KIller by Oyinkan Braithwaite (exploration of family), A Certain Hunger by Chelsea G Summers (dark humor), Blood Sugar by Sascha Rothchild (female rage).
