On the right side of the image, an auburn-haired white woman sits at a piano. She looks over her shoulder at the viewer; her expression is serious and determined. A shadow falls across her music book. The text on the image reads as follows: Agent's Guide A Song Against Ruin adult fantasy, 119k words, queer political intrigue (Image credit: Edgar Degas, Mademoiselle Dihau au Piano, wikimedia commons.)
In the lower right corner, a dead bird lies on its back. The heading reads: Comps. In the center of the page are the covers of four books; text beside the covers describes why they were chosen as comp titles. The Raven Scholar by Antonia Hodgson features an ambitious, lower-class MC, weird gods, and ruthless nobles. The Familiar by Leigh Bardugo features an ambitious, lower-class MC, ruthless nobles, and high personal stakes. WITCHMARK by C. L. Polk features high personal stakes, political intrigue, and m/m romance. The Jasmine Throne by Tasha Suri features f/f romance and political intrigue.
On the left side of the image, a young white man holds a candle that illumines his face; the rest of him fades into shadow. He looks concerned. At the bottom left is a skull. The heading reads: Details. The rest of the text on the page reads as follows: - Adult fantasy, ~119k words - Dual POV - Features political intrigue, queer friendship/found family, sapphic villain-as-love-interest, m/m friends-to-lovers - Secondary-world urban setting (early 19th-century vibes) (Image credit: Gottfried Schalken, self-portrait, wikimedia commons)
In the upper left corner is a torn musical score. On the lower left side of the page, an elegant white woman dressed in black, with dark hair and pale eyes, gazes out at the viewer. The heading reads: Pitch. The rest of the page reads as follows: In Dorn’s capital city, power stems from birth, wealth, and magic. Commoner best friends Lor and Firmen only have ambition—and each other. Lor, a virtuoso organist, sets out to dazzle noble society with her musical skill—and win back Veren, the noblewoman who broke her heart four years ago. Meanwhile, Firmen—a legal clerk for Veren’s noble family—is drowning in debt. He has nothing to sell except a perilous secret: Veren is at the center of a deadly conspiracy. As Lor is drawn into Veren’s glittering orbit and Firmen bargains with Veren’s enemies, neither friend realizes they are sabotaging each other—or that one’s ambition could mean the other’s ruin.

Black background with a curvy blue and cream blob smush. Presenting an agents guide to: AFTER THE BITE Genre: Horror, Post Apocalyptic, Sci-Fi, Romance
Black background with a curvy blue and cream blob smush. The pitch: When Erika emerges from a nearly calcified cocoon in a zombie filled basement, they find themself in a world of horror and carnage, and find themself capable of shifting their shape, even making weapons from their body. What Erika is missing is their memory, which they must recover while avoiding the nightly pull of a strange light only they can see around the spire in the center of persistence, the last human city in North America.
Black background with blood splatters Comp Titles: SPECIES X LAND OF THE DEAD Posters of both movies included. Tropes and Themes: MONSTER’S POV ZOMBIE POST-APOCALYPSE SURVIVING WALLED CITY MAD SCIENTIST HORRIBLE EXPERIMENTS BODY HORROR CHANCE ENCOUNTER TO ROMANCE ROTTEN CRIMINAL UNDERWORLD Pictures of some of the above.
Black background with a semi-transparent landscape picture of a city at night Excerpt: I push out against the hardness in front of me. It resists, but only for a few moments. Cracking and crunching noises fill my senses where only the beats were. I push harder. It fights me, but i cannot stop. Cracks appear in front of me and… whatever it is i’m in is breached. Light and air flood over me and i gasp, drawing in lungfuls of air to sate the burning. Thu-dump! Thu-dump! My heart calms now that i have air, but it still beats rapidly. I still have to get out, i am in danger here! Get out and get up! How do i know all this? I push again, harder now that i’m breathing again. The cracks widen… and then i’m falling forward out of a large tear. My whole world tumbles, and then i’m half laying on a cold, rough, dirty floor, half hanging out of my vacated prison. I draw in another breath and start coughing, expelling dark liquid out of my lungs, but i am breathing fully and properly now.
Good Morning #WSPit!

An agent's guide to THE STRAY SCALES YA Fantasy 87,000 words
Comparison titles. Shrek - If it was set in a world similar to Shrek! The Princess Bride - A spoof of fairy tale tropes like this A Forgery of Fate - A rist taking main character similar to Tru! Little Thieves - With humour similar to this!
Tired of terrorising the sea with her sticky fingers, sea folk Pearl bargains her life for a chance to roam the lands, and with only three months to avoid turning into sea foam, all she has to do is kiss the prince she’s been stalking to avoid such a fate. But when his sea-folk-hunting cousin returns, her simple task becomes a quest of survival as she evades the hunter’s suspicions, stumbling into a deadly conspiracy entangling both land and sea.
First Lines It wasn’t unusual for Pearl to wander into strangers’ homes. But today, she wasn’t interested in their tools, heirlooms or whatever she could snatch into her sack. Even her appetite for the jewels encrusted across the shimmering castles of the deep was but a memory. The truth was, she had a far more pressing matter triumphing over the sea. Themes and Tropes - self discovery - odd friendship - fish out of water - fractured fairy tale - predator x prey? - a fantastical take on the immigrant experience - love and loss - perceptions
Bargaining her life with a witch to explore the lands, a mermaid falls into the depths of a deadly conspiracy entangling both land and sea as she attempts to kiss the prince she's stalked, before sea-foam or his cousin can claim her life.
