Wrinkle in Time x Percy J

Lonely, bookish Calli aches for the mother she never knew. Then she discovers clues her mother left behind before she died. Now Calli must unravel how the 3 Fates & Macbeth connect to her mom’s death & her own future before she is erased from existence. #WSPitS #YA #F

a mood board made to look like a collection of poloroid photos with retro and medieval vibes. It includes photos of a Route 66 town, an old English town, a pet rock, a discarded sword and chainmail, a couple embracing, an old church, a man asleep among books, and a woman with flowers in her hair. Hand drawn berries, flowers, sparkles, hearts, and a speaker playing music are scattered throughout.

Demigod Bonnie's attempted jump to 1969 leaves her stranded in 1464 where she forges an unlikely alliance with Gil, an ambitious knight, on her quest to find a new portal while evading monster hunters and the wrath of her mother.

A photo collage that features a woman wearing a crown, a college campus, a hand playing the guitar, piano keys, and a pair of bloody knuckles

A photo that reads: Crowned In Light A literary agent's guide to the first book in the Crowned Series As 85k word Urban Speculative Romance/Romantasy First three books are finished, edited, and ready to query!

A photo that reads: The Pitch! It’s the end of a hot Iowan summer, and twenty-four-year-old Matilda West is gearing up for her sophomore year of college at Oak Ridge University. A scholarship student, she is swayed by the suggestion of her favorite professor to join a study group he’s created for his Classical Mythology course. The students in the group adopt her quickly, but Matilda’s past has made her wary and anxious of new people and their intentions. When she finds herself drawn toward two of the people in the group, including an unexplainable feeling like she’s met one of them before, Matilda is thrown in the middle of a situation she couldn’t have seen coming. Weird dreams and the fact that her life might not be what she thought it was force Matilda to question whether her fate was already decided, or if someone else is pulling the strings… How does one juggle school work, healing trauma, finding love, and supporting a diverse community, while also fighting for their fate and the rest of the world?

Editor's guide for RUTABAGAS DON'T BUILD TREEHOUSES, 37,000 MG fantasy title page with blueprint background and chalklike font

Pitch for RUTABAGAS... with hand drawn rutabaga. Pitch includes, "Ru will have to embrace her disability and become the hero of the story, not despite her disability, but because of it."

Moodboard with photos of young girl in wheelchair, a giant tree, girl pirates, a treehouse, swimming underwater, a dragon, a sphinx. An excerpt that says, "I don't want to be a smelly vegetable that has long been forgotten since the time of great famine in the history books. I want to be something that thrives ABOVE ground. I want to be remembered. I want to be seen as someone who can and does..."

Themes include disability rep, overcoming obstacles, adventure, magic, believing in yourself, friendship, bullies, embracing differences, and the power of trying. Comps include OUT OF MY MIND, the BOOKWANDERERS series, THE LAND OF ROAR, and THE WIZARD OF OZ. All with blueprint background.

Be like Ru.

When you are the hero of the story BECAUSE of your disability, not despite it.

But, RUTABAGAS DON'T BUILD TREEHOUSES...

A dark, floral background with white text that reads: Fixing his gaze on mine, Grey sank down on the edge of the bed beside my thigh and pivoted toward me. My heart sped up when I realized how close he was. Close enough to kiss me if he wanted to. “Chloe Mullins, would you like me to haunt you tonight?” A DEATH WITHOUT YOU, HEATHER CARTER, ON SUBMISSION NOW

Chloe is trapped in a haunted house, marked as the future bride of a ruthless Underworld prince who claims they are fated. She has 3 weeks to break the bond or she'll be his forever. An alluring ghost helps her quest, but destiny has other plans.

A mythic pre-telling of the Lady of the Lake’s bog-body origin story set during Julius Caesar’s conquest of Gaul and based on the earliest myths that would become the legends of King Arthur. #WSPitS #A #L #Hi #F

A mood board for Kirk Rafferty's "The Cosmonaut and the Fisherman." Photos of a 1960s era cosmonaut helmet, a woman with a pistol, a man with a pistol, and the silhouette of a woman and two children, flanked by images of the American flag and the Soviet flag. In the center, a space capsule re-entering earth orbit in a feiry plume. The center image is inside a round "gun scope." The caption reads: Texas, 1961. Disavowed by her own government, a stranded cosmonaut and her two unlikely allies must escape a relentless FBI agent with his own agenda.

Tolstoy tragedy collides with Steinbeck America. A Soviet cosmonaut crashes in cold war America. A novel of survival, secrets, and impossible choices.

In a dark and moody photograph, a red headed woman throws back her hair. Text over the image reads: The Mariner. Gothic Mystery. Inspired by The Rime of the Ancient Mariner.

The novel opening: Everyone fears for the souls of the drowned. I can see it everywhere on this island. It’s in the small white crosses on the hill above town. In the red beads and whale teeth hung in every window. The way the very trees rear back from the sea. It’s like they’re all saying: we know you’re out there, somewhere. But don’t come back to us. Don’t come back. (Please come back.) Skana Island is salt in the eye, lemon rind on the tongue, lips pulled back from teeth. And it’s the place my father came at least once a year to stare at the sea, until one day it took him and didn’t give him back.

🌊Everyone fears for the souls of the drowned.🌊

In this gothic mystery, a horror writer investigates her lighthouse keeper father’s mysterious drowning, only to face a revenant called the Mariner in a decommissioned lighthouse off the coast of Washington State.

The Sydisi next to Sytimlor stared at the tall, slender human woman, her dark eyes cold as they reflected the crimson light. He began glancing toward the viewport as if hoping he could leap through it. His black eyes narrowed as they returned to the flowing red spirals. “I don’t answer to you. I came only because you are holding my world hostage.” “Strange to learn how that feels, isn’t it? Except you’ve held the lives of your own military hostage for years now, haven’t you? Decided which of them lived, which died, who would be sacrificed to Mir’s plan to beg for peace.” The Sydisi Head of Intelligence froze as the words left her mouth. He retreated further toward the viewport, then caught himself, seeing his reaction had drawn the attention of Sytimlor. Her back was to Recari, but Elayna Michaels heard the snarl that suddenly began to reverberate like the slow roar of a lion. She glanced back at the Sydisi Senator, then past him to the other seven. “I’ll explain everything, and even include our classified analysis, but it amounts to what I just said. Mir has worked with your intelligence division on two coordinating plans. One was to infiltrate the Alliance, that one you suspected you told Ansel about before getting him back. “To facilitate it, to set the stage for a seeming end to the war, Mir let us destroy or possibly arranged the destruction of just enough of your own fleet to make the need for a treaty seem genuine. We assume he thought with what ships remained he could take advantage of the chaos the infiltration would ultimately create.” Sytimlor and the other seven Recari were now looking at the still nameless intelligence chief. He was attempting to regain his composure, but they could, perhaps, see something in his demeanor she could not. The Vice Supreme had moved few steps away from him, a thinly clawed left hand slowly raising to his nose. She suddenly remembered that the Sydisi had a sense of smell equal to a Terran do…
