Eren was raised for two things: political marriage and skirmishes. Sadly, the galaxy doesn’t have much call for a well-trained husband or sword-wielding duelist. Exiled and broke, he joins a fleet of science contractors and does the one thing he’d rather not: make friends. #WSPit #W #A #SF #LGBT

Pitch: An unsuspecting college town braces for magic students, but can't prepare for a spell-slinging, social-climbing vocal trio targeting professors for their diabolical ends—matrimony. The tenor's set to wood the most eligible bachelor—until a handsome rival baritone gets in his way.

Remi's peaceful life as a nun is interrupted when an invisible wall appears, sweeping her across her magical, shifting world like a 3D sidescroller. To escape this curse, she’ll have to break her vow of silence, not fall in love with (or murder) the chatterbox traveling with her, and confront the Mapmaker Themself—the god who created her world.

CURSE OF THE GOLDEN TATTOO

Thankfully, it’s not every unkind word ever said to Gemma that turns into a painful tattoo—only those from people she loves. To avoid passing down her inherited curse to her unborn child, she must find magic of her own.

@kaylaharriswrites.bsky.social FYI only agents who want to be queried are asked to like pitches from writers. To support another writer, they've asked us to quote post someone, not Like or repost because then people think you're an agent or editor

The poster posits that cozy fantasy needs pain and holds up a movie and comic fantasy which aren't cozy...

I never took Legends and Lattes as small stakes. Changing career at midlife to found a business and learn leadership and give priority to connection?

PTSD isn't needed for brilliant stories.

When I do my genre analysis on fantasy bestsellers using BISAC codes from publishers, it seems that Fantasy with Military and Epic are the genres making the best of lists vs the sales trends of Fantasy without Military topping what people but most. #SFF #Fantasy #Romantasy

I'm not intimated by your lovely writing. It's that you can knit and cook, too! No, I'm not weak. I don't think. How can anyone have so many powers? If you've ever made a sweater or toque, I might faint.

The only way I was able to read Name of the Wind was to manually pronounce Kvothe as Kevin. I also pronounce the author's name as Paddy Ruffy.
