I always love a New England set story 🍁🍂
This moodboard is gorgeous 🌹 🥀
Congrats! 🖤🐦⬛
Very intrigued already
Georgetown and South Carolina in general are such rare settings for fiction, I love it already! Not every story needs to be set in New York City or Los Angeles.
Thank you for sharing your story ❤️
Loving this art style 🧡🧡
This sounds so unhinged, I’m in 👀
Making a mini video instead of a mood board is such a creative twist. 🎥 🖤
This looks so so fun 🖤
Sounds intriguing 👀
This moodboard is beautiful 🩵

Just submitted my Rapunzel-inspired YA fantasy romcom, THE GOLDEN STAIR, to #smallpitch !
Made from non-AI free stock images. This image is a book cover design for a novel titled "Happy Death Inc." by B. Van Bodegom. The cover is divided into three distinct horizontal sections: 1. Top Section: Features a cartoonish blue sky with white clouds and a bright sun. At the top, a tagline reads: "How much would you pay to die with a smile?" The word "HAPPY" appears in large, playful, hand-drawn-style font, partially overlapping the sky background. 2. Middle Section: A photograph of a deceased man in a suit, lying in a casket. He has an exaggerated smile on his face, almost unnaturally wide and clean, suggesting artificial enhancement or post-mortem alteration. Overlaid on this image is the word "DEATH" in the same large font as the previous word. 3. Bottom Section: A cartoon city skyline in pastel tones, similar in style to the top sky background. The word "INC." is overlaid prominently in the same large font. At the very bottom, in smaller capital letters, it says: "A Novel by B VAN BODEGOM"
BLACK MIRROR × SEVERANCE × THE GOOD PLACE
Having a happy death is a luxury service for the rich and Wren is the rising top salesman—until a cynical coworker and a depressed billionaire force him to rethink it all in a world where even your last smile has a price tag.
