*BIG FIVE EDITOR INTEREST*

my updated #agentguide for AWAKENING, the dual-pov YA Fantasy (109k) I'm querying ft. art from the incredibly talented sen_verse!

⚡️ ancestral power
⛓️ forged family
💔 tragic sibling bond
🥀 lovers to enemies
🗡️ betrayal

REALM BREAKER x ATLA x HEIR

#YA #F #amquerying
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 manifested within her, forcing her hand in rallying against an emerging threat and 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. photos of realm breaker by victoria aveyard, avatar the last airbender and heir by sabaa tahir with arrows pointing to the phrases grave birthright/ancestral responsibilities, chosen bloodline/chosen one, tragic sibling relationship, forged family + romantic subplot, betrayal and aiming to subdue a global threat samples

This one’s for all the teachers out there who work tirelessly to make a difference. For those of us that ache for the ones society has deemed unreachable.

55k words and counting!

#WIPPIT #A #RF #F #R #agentguide
Blue background with yellow sparkles and a title that reads: Schoolmasters of the Wicked, an adult Romantasy A soft yellow background with flowers and a faded image of a young Black woman in a white dress. The pitch reads: Gods and Devils keep away from each other. But when the daughter of the Spring Goddess flees to an academic institution run by an exiled prince of Hell, she pretends to be a witch in order to accept a teaching position. Unfortunately, her students are as wicked as the headmaster who heats her blood & wants her gone. And the longer she shelters with the worst of society, the more she desires to stay and fight to keep the school running. A black to yellow background with a Black woman cartoon in a pink dress and pink flower wreath on her head. The silhouette of a devilish man in the upper right hand corner. The image is titled “Snippets” and says, “He was a skin-searing, heartbeat inducing, stomach fluttering kind of beast. A beast with sharp horns.” Another snippet reads, “Sweetheart, you’re more than welcome to stay at Darkfell for as long as you can make it.” A blue background with yellow sparkles shows the comp titles for this work in progress: Arcana Academy, Son of the Morning, Our Vicious Oaths, and A Touch of Darkness.

The Graysons have 99 problems and no one to blame but themselves for about 88 of them.

These chaotic brothers are among the cast of COUNT THE THUNDER, a YA fantasy thriller about murder, electromagic, and the lengths you’ll go for the people you love.

An agent’s guide to: HEART OF THE BAYOU A YA Horror-Romance The pitch: The deadly legends that prowl the bayou eat more than just souls— and one wants Elle's heart for her own ... When a paranormal migration brings a slew of deadly soul-eating cryptids to the quiet swamps of Louisiana, subsequently cornering the paranormal clinic 17-year-old Elle works at—she must find out why the bloodthirsty monsters are migrating before BOLT, a paranormal branch of the FBI, threatens to shut down the clinic and arrest its supernatural patients. But when she discovers her crush is hiding some monsters of her own, the kind of cryptid that might just take down the clinic and Elle's heart—she'll have to decide if she's ready to take the girl's advice and finally risk letting her own inner monsters out of the closet ... Comps: They Bloom at Night, I Feed Her to the Beast, A Feast for the Eyes, This Ravenous Fate, Hear Her Howl, The Coven Tendency Snippet from HEART OF THE BAYOU: I'd heard of the brutality of how these cryptids killed. How the survivors were lucky if you managed to escape with only an arm lost. How they enjoyed ripping people from flesh to tendons and finally bone, before they dove for the final kill and snapped their prey's neck, the tell-tale halo of blood flowering above their victims' heads I only hoped there was something I could salvage once the beast finished. The man's shrieks didn't cease until the monster's eyes glowed brighter, rubies sparkling in the center of a dangerous black mass. His body stilled, transfixed in terror. A silent scream began to pry his lips apart as if drawn by an invisible force. I winced, the sounds of bones clicking, dislocating, and popping as the man's eyes rolled to the back of his head. A fleshy lump burst through his shirt, pulsating and twisting like worms had taken ahold of his skin. Tropes & Vibes: “Only one bed” Abandoned houses & creepy dockyards Sociopolitical commentary Neurodivergent, queer & anxiety rep Lesbian MC’s Cryptids & legends from the Deep South Small town horror The monster wins in the end . . . Sassy x Stabby FMC’s Central moodboard: Swamp pictures, an orange moon, flannels, heart-shaped carabiners, a “don’t go into the woods” sign, girls kissing, a religious sign, a truck in a field

NAUSICAÄ X FF7

Nature is decaying, nobles are hoarding magic, and demons prey on everyone. A possible chosen one, a man who failed his destiny, and a woman rejected by fate must work together for one last chance to save the dying world.

#questpit #Q #F #A #agentguide
Dark forest. An agent's guide to The Blessing Returned. Adult fantasy. 98,000 words. Dark forest. Pitch. Idealistic Hana Hahl lives in a world that is slowly dying after a failed quest to bring back magic. The only ones left with power are self-serving royals and dark mages, while desperation has given rise to an anti-magic order. Caught up in a mystical event, Hana is blessed with an immense power that could restore nature to the world. As Hana struggles to control the overwhelming force, Lady Kalyn Nossi, the only known survivor of the disastrous quest, directs her to the one person who can help her. Matthias Azel, the failed chosen one, reluctantly agrees to teach Hana while concealing his past from her. Accompanied by Kalyn and a charismatic prince with a dangerous secret, they journey to seek answers about Hana’s destiny. They fend off demonic threats and the anti-magic forces as Hana struggles with magic that seems to resist her and a growing fear that the world isn’t meant to be saved. A dark forest. Comps. Nausicaä. One Dark Window. The Starless Crown. Godkiller. Final Fantasy VII Remake. Tropes. Chosen One (s)? Ecofantasy. Dieselpunk. Grumpy/Sunshine. LGBTQIA+. Multi POV. A dark forest. Snippet. She took a cautious step forward, unaware she was in a spectral form. Little drops of shimmering light followed her path, dissolving into the ground. “But this has to be a sign?” Grass grew where the light fell, delicate bits of nature that should be impossible. “Maybe it’s returning!” The young woman spoke with such bright reverence as if life was a fairy tale and magic was all they needed for a happy ending. It was as if she couldn’t see the shadows approaching her. The inevitable death. “Magic should never return.” After speaking those words, he sprang forward and shoved her away from the shadows. Pain rocked him as soon as he touched her. The scorching mystical agony tore a scream out of him, but it kept her away from the unearthly menace, and the shock did what he intended. Sent him back to his body.

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, The Raven Scholar by Antonia Hodgson, and The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi by Shannon Chakraborty. 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.
