Beautiful job! 😍😍😍

A title card with the text "An Agent's Guide to FROM ONE MIFLETZET TO ANOTHER - Katie Collan - young adult horror 95,000 words" over the outside of a synagogue.

Comparative titles with arrows pointing to relevant descriptions. Titles include: HOW TO SURVIVE A SLASHER by Justine Pucella Winans, WHEN DEVILS SING by Xan Kaur, Netflix's FEAR STREET 1994. Captions: HOW TO SURVIVE A SLASHER: "Ride-or-die female friendship", "Scream-esque meta humor" WHEN DEVILS SING: "Deal with the devil" WHEN DEVILS SING, FEAR STREET: "Small town curse" FEAR STREET: "Star-crossed lovers", "Women's autonomy" All three: "Diverse ensemble cast", "Themes of equality", "Exploration of identity"

Pitch: "When a Jewish girl accidentally reawakens an ancient curse over her town, she must fight through mythological nightmares and break the curse before she's torn apart like the demon who started it all."

A mood board featuring a collage of seventeen pictures, with the title "FROM ONE MIFLETZET TO ANOTHER" in the center and the sentence "FOUR PIECES REUNITED BY SINNER'S HAND MAY FINALLY BREAK THE CURSE" overlaying the collage in fragments. From left to right, top to bottom: the Jewish star hanging from a tree branch; a hatchet lying beside a digital camera; a red snake; a hand holding a lighter; a menorah perched beside Hebrew scripture; a Torah scroll; a depiction of Lilith, the mother of demons; a depiction of a powerful demon's silhouette; the entrance to a synagogue; an oak tree in the middle of a grassy field; a Torah scroll; a shadow-covered skull; the wall of a synagogue; a fire-breathing serpent rising above the sea; a luscious, green forest; thick roots of an old tree; a forest that leads into darkness.

WHEN DEVILS SING X FEAR STREET

"Four pieces reunited by sinner's hand may finally break the Curse."
Looks like Chava Rose is sinning.

💞 Women's autonomy
✡️ Jewish mythology
❤️‍🩹 Star-crossed lovers who never give up
🌈 Diverse ensemble
⚖️ Strong themes of equality

A cabin on a cliff. A dead butterfly or moth. A wooden sign. A collection of insects/bugs. A girl with curly hair. A bedroom. A girl holding a baby deer. A collection of letters. Two girls sitting on a bed.

Trapped in the woodlands, Ivy's only hope of going home is to escape the faerie who enchants her into loving him, blinding her to what he is--monstrous.

The image, made with free non-AI stock pictures, shows a horror-comedy novel cover titled "DAD BODIES." The top of the cover reads "THE GAME JUST TOOK A DAD TURN" with "DAD" in a different color. The background features a haunted house with multiple towers and illuminated windows against a dark backdrop. At the center is a 20-sided die (D20) used in tabletop role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons, with visible numbers including 1, 7, 13, and 19. The die is surrounded by red blood splatter effects. At the bottom of the cover are six men with expressions of terror and shock. One man is wearing a white shirt over his head. These men are the dads referenced in the title.

CABIN IN THE WOODS × JOHN DIES AT THE END

When their detective friend is murdered at their annual gaming retreat, 5 dads must rely on years of #TTRPG experience—and puns—to solve the crime before they're all killed off like NPCs in a badly written supernatural campaign.

Your story sounds so cool! 😄

Quote from T. L. Coughlin agented work: I have 2,925 days left of my curse and I’m not going to let one fool of a knight ruin my chances. A black and white image of a girl with long hair looking down at a sliced off marble head of a man with a bloodred “tear”. Behind them is a collage. A girl sunken in water with a white dress flowing. A pearl with fire swirling around it. A boy, up in a tree, laying on a branch. A hilt of a jeweled sword, a stone bridge across a small river in a forest. A curled, pink, rosebud. A stone carving of a qilin. An open book laying upon leaves. A vial of liquid in an enchanted forest.

In a kingdom obsessed with vanity magic, 16yo Princess Zella longs to escape her woodgrain scars and iron joints. With only weeks before the curse turns her to petrified wood, a wish on a rare Starlune moth may be her last hope—but it could also cost her the boy she loves.

General feedback like reader enjoyment. Thoughts on the storyline and characters. Places where I could further tighten the plot and hopefully lower the word count.

Hello! Thank you for responding. The word count is 110K.

Congrats, Kira! Sorry for being so late to congratulate you. 🩷

Hello friends!

Is anyone looking for a beta reader, preferably for a young adult manuscript?

I'm willing to do a swap. I write YA fantasy, and could really use some fresh eyes on my manuscript.

Please, let me know.
