Illustrated novel cover showing an elderly, white-bearded wizard in a wide-brimmed hat, painted in a warm, classic fantasy style. He gestures forward against a soft, autumn-colored background. Overlaid text reads: “The Old Man & The Side Quest” with the subtitle “An Adult Cozy/Comedy/Fantasy Work in Progress.”

Promotional pitch for Kinda Charming. On the left, the title “Kinda Charming” appears in ornate gold lettering above the line “70,000 Words | Upper Middle Grade Fantasy/Comedy.” Below it reads, “Most fairy tales have a prince. This one got Neil.” Additional text introduces the story: a fairytale world called Ever After where Prince Neil Charming is sent on a royal quest to rescue a princess and prove himself, questioning whether what makes him different may be his greatest strength. On the right, a whimsical illustrated stone castle with tall, uneven towers rises against a soft blue sky with clouds, surrounded by greenery.

A black background with flames on the bottom. White text reads: YA Horror Fantasy, 85k words. A Not Yet Corpses Agent's Guide
A black background with flames on the bottom. Excerpt from Not Yet Corpses:
“So what do I call you?” he asks.
“Roy.”
“Just Roy?”
Even under the sepia light of the streetlamps, he radiates life. It’s off-putting. Downright annoying, when I think about it too long.
“Unless you want to call me Riordan Payne.”
He laughs. “Weird—I like it. Monster Hunter, Riordan Payne.”
“Not a monster hunter.”
As much as I want to punch him every time he opens his mouth, I can’t shake the pride settling in my bones, watching him do something as simple as running a hand through his hair. You’d never know he was dead an hour ago. I did that, and I'm not even sure how.
Beneath that pride, a primal fear coils inside me. If my patron ever finds out what I’ve done, there’s no telling what he’ll do to the corpse. But I’ve got a pretty good idea what he might do to me. I have to dump this undead body the first chance I get.
A black background with flames on the bottom. A Tropes/Comps graphic for Not Yet Corpses. Various orange arrows point to the cover in the center, depicting a pale, white-haired teenager wielding a knife and a handful of flame. Tropes: Annoyances to Friends to ???, Devil Deals (with red devil graphic), Stabby Trans MC (with cover of Ander Joseph White's The Spirit Bares Its Teeth), Goths Gays and Theys, Found Family, Accidental Resurrections (with cover of Aiden Thomas' Cemetery Boys), Combatting Oppression (with cover of H.E. Edgmon's The Witch King)
A black background with flames on the bottom.
Pitch: After Riordan Payne accidentally resurrects an amnesiac corpse, he'd do anything to get rid of it. He didn’t think ‘anything’ meant making friends with it, rescuing a kid wizard together, taking a road trip across the desert, or reawakening his humanity.
Graphic Title of Not Yet Corpses in white at the bottom, with skulls for O's
Not Yet Corpses, a YA Horror Fantasy is coming back to the query trenches, featuring:
👿angry trans sorcerer without a soul
🧟the hot amnesiac corpse who won’t leave him alone
🐈⬛the nonbinary kid wizard they rescue together
👹angels and devils and monsters, oh my!
