I got an agent like from #JoyPit! I’ve also connected with several writers; we share each other’s pitches at events now. ❤️
Is #MiseryPit the opposite of #JoyPit? Pitch your misery-themed books?
Hi, @leemelillobooks.bsky.social, you liked a pitch of mine during #joypit, but I see you’re closed to queries. I wanted to confirm whether you wanted to be queried with the pitches you liked. Thanks!
Madison must raise money to save the family home with her teenage great-great-great grandmother in 1924, or not exist in the present time. Bootleggers and a speakeasy are part of the plan.

A graphic in the style of a Netflix title card describes The Bookery: Pride and Prejudice meets Studio Ghibli in THE BOOKERY, in which a bankrupt witch, her sweet-as-sugar pastry chef tenant, and the judgemental phoenix nesting in his bakery’s oven join forces against the magical real estate developer determined to bulldoze their shop—and the unconventional family they’ve built within. Along the bottom are comparative titles: The Phoenix Keeper, The Spellshop, The House in the Cerulean Sea, Legends and Lattes, Howl's Moving Castle, and Kiki's Delivery Service.
A high-society witch discovers the joy of living for personal fulfillment rather than social clout, thanks to her sweet-as-sugar pastry chef tenant and the judgemental phoenix nesting in his bakery’s oven.
