A pitch card for FLOWERS FOR A MARTIAN by Daniel James. The pitch is on a blew background with forget-me-nots. Framing the pitch are illustrations of Liam and Duncan from The book. Liam is a tall, muscular man wearing a white T-shirt and overalls. He has brown hair and a beard. Duncan is a plus size man, who is sitting on the boarder. He is wearing a white button up, a purple sweater vest, jeans, and purple converse. He has short honey colored hair and a beard. The pitch comps FLOWERS FOR A MARTIAN as THE PAIRING x HALLMARK, and the pitch itself reads as follows: Going back home is hard enough without returning post-transition. Liam is convinced he can navigate the town & pretend to be a stranger passing through—until he gets paired with his high school sweetheart on a city project, who doesn't recognize him. As his feelings for Duncan grow deeper, it’s only a matter of time before Liam learns the past never stays buried.
Hi Editors 👋🏻 (and the #writingcommunity!)
FLOWERS FOR A MARTIAN is a love letter to:
🌸 smaller-than-average hometowns
👽 the Northern California sunset
🌸 found/blood family
👽 and grief in all its forms (yes, even the messy ones).
