Pre-order promo image

Long wall of text (I’m sorry, it’s too much stuff)

Why pre-order? It helps new authors for lots of reasons. And this author will refrain from devouring the sun.

It’s TIME.

Pre-orders for my dark contemporary romantasy HELLBOUND are live! Link in my bio. 💜

Any #editors looking for adult speculative sapphic horrormantasy?

This one takes place in a haunted island resort. It’s got witches with mommy issues, coven politics, Latinx rep, and an antagonist akin to Beetlejuice—sharp wit, but even sharper claws. #onsub

Awesome! Hopefully upcoming events can include agented authors on submission. It would be great to pitch to editors directly. It’s so hard to get visibility and DVPit has so much industry participation 🥹

Hi! Are agented writers allowed to participate to attempt to receive editor interest? Or is this only for writers seeking agents?

Ughhh such a good anime. Have you seen Kami Sama Kiss? Is the only I can think of that would make someone feel again after that banger. At least in terms of the romance 🥰

Yeah I remember the migration. That’s when I created this account, but idk. Either I just didn’t do well at connecting or lots of us just stayed on Twitter because I haven’t noticed any interaction decline 🤷🏻‍♀️ test out the next pitch event. See how it goes.

Thank you 😊

I won second place for most original concept for #posterpit. I’m so honored 🥹🫶 thank you to yeh wonderful hard working hosts of this event as well as the community. #writercommunity

I’m mostly on Twitter and can attest that the hype and engagement over there were solid with a lot of the same consistent members of the community.

Thank you ☺️

I’m now at 7️⃣ ✨ requests

Hi Thais. Thank you for liking my PosterPit post. I sent you my query, however, my brain glitched. The instructions for the upload at the bottom of query tracker said to upload my full. I did, but then remembered your bio said 20 pages. I’m so sorry! I tried to upload 20 but it doesn’t let me.

JASAD HEIR/THE LAST VIGILANT

dark poster with art by @nelsnote of a man looking up holding a bloody book, the light on him is coming from an angel wing and there are eyes in the dark behind him. he has an awestruck expression. there is a quote at the top right “I need to eat the fruits they are too tempting and beautiful” from my favourite author. the title “forbidden fruits” is in gold cursive. underneath, NA gothic horrormance is written. alongside the drawing, on either side, the words “angel summoning as dark magic”, “corruption arc”, “violent longing has consequences”, “he’s not dead until I say so”, “Victorian secret societies”, “epistolary dual timelines”. underneath, EVOCATION x THE DEATH OF JANE LAWRENCE. underneath the following pitch : ‪“WHY DO YOU NEED AN ANGEL? according to the codex his teacher wrote, that’s the most important question to ask when summoning them. Simon knows his answer: there’s someone he worships—the teacher he built a cult around—and he won’t stop until he has him. ‬ years later, after an accident, Peter’s teacher is graciously caring for him, but Peter wants more than their fledgling friendship. rifling through his teacher’s letters, he discovers another student’s old obsession with the man they both love, and resolves to use this knowledge to get closer to him. He won’t stop until he has him—and the angels come to call.” Underneath, “coming to beta readers this autumn”.

introducing my NA queer gothic horrormance wip:

🥀teaching the wrong student dark magic
🥀starting a cult to get attention from your favourite teacher
🥀angel summoning is an OCD metaphor

This is so random, but if you are the author of A WOMAN NOBLE, please find your QM submission to me and send me a message? I'm trying to read manuscripts that have offers on them and I cannot find this on in my queue ANYWHERE, yet I added a reminder that a decision is due soon. I feel so stupid!
