Gothic mood board for a fiction novel featuring a skull, medieval Irish imagery, catholic symbolism, and gothic horror romance vibes. Text in the center reads "The Banshee of Clan Murtagh, 80,000 word gothic horror, SmoochPit 2025"
The Pitch: When Ciarán Murtagh hears the cry of his family’s eternally young banshee, he hunts her down to learn who in his family is fated to die. In the struggle, his touch triggers memories of the banshee’s previous life as a servant of his household—and she demands to know more. They meet by moonlight searching for answers in the banshee’s memories, and Ciarán’s growing attraction sets him on a path of macabre desire. But as the devastating bubonic plague closes in, Ciarán must decide whether to stay by his dying family or succumb to the seduction of the death-bringer.

Hey! I have a question about this actually (so happy it popped up in #10queries which I'm LOVING). Close POV is definitely the norm right now, but how should/could you be clear if you do intentionally switch POV within a scene (modern day example: My Big Gay Wedding (Byron Lane)) in your QL?
I have no idea if I'm blueskying right, but I was wondering if you go into #Revpit looking for a particular genre - like if it were a meal, you're like, "I could really go for some spaghetti." Or if you leave it completely open for whichever genre/story grabs you?
SM pull quotes - so helpful!
I loooove Story Genius! I use it for outlining and revising to make sure the 3rd rail is at play in every scene. Can't wait to check out the resources you shared, thank you so much ❤️
