Lizzy S. Briggs

A photo collage style moodboard on a plum background. The photos include a purple Ferris wheel, green magic illuminating a hand, two hands brushing in black and white, a partial image of a young man’s face, a display of Sharpies for sale, a total solar eclipse, a silhouette of a house with a purple sky behind it, an ink stained page, and green ivy partially covering a window. Below these images is white, sharpie-style text saying “Alignment by Lizzy S. Briggs”

The Pitch: Jack B. Nimble is all-too-familiar with his ex’s plans for world domination. He was supposed to be at the center of it, serving as his right-hand alchemist. Instead, after a brutal reckoning, Jack has crawled out of rock bottom by keeping his head down and avoiding his dark past. Jack’s fragile present as a barista for a magical coffee shop cracks when his illegal secret menu leads to his arrest. It fractures when his former best friend, now a cop, offers to be his parole officer after years of estrangement. It shatters entirely when his ex, Hugo, puts his plans into motion, blowing up the Magisterium in pursuit of both vengeance on Jack and a mysterious artifact. Jack learns he isn’t his ex’s only victim when a handsome necromancer tracks him down, leveraging Jack’s past to secure his help in stopping Hugo’s plan to usher in his new, demonic world order. Can Jack face his past - and his truth - in time to save the world from being rewritten?

Comps - Valiant by Holly Black, Magic Bites by Ilona Andrews, Finder by Emma Bull, The Last Sun by KD Edwards. Tropes - Childhood best friends to parolee/parole officer, magically bound together, only one bed/shower/mausoleum, second chance romance, actual love triangle, vengeful exes, queer AF. This text is surrounded by Polaroid-style photos of green flames, a coffee shop, a cathedral window covered in ivy, and a man’s hands in handcuffs

Favorite Quotes: “Magic gave us a second chance. Anyone who tries to tell you differently is selling something.” “It made sense he’d require a blood price for me to leave. I just hadn’t expected so much of it to be mine.” “When I was a kid, I used to pretend I could feel the warmth of my imaginary mother at my side, or the comforting weight of my invisible father’s hand on my shoulder. But I had neither, and those memories were stolen, phantoms borne of after-school specials, late-night sitcom reruns, and a desperate, aching hope that wouldn’t fucking die that one day, they’d come back for me. But I guess that’s what real faith is. Unkillable.” “Oh honey, you have no idea who I became without you.”

For my last trick, here’s the Agent Guide for ALIGNMENT, my completed manuscript. Huge shoutout to the amazing people behind this event for putting it on!

A grid of nine photos, from left to right: Top row: an eclipse in phases; text reading “Our almost will always haunt me”; all-black Converse high-tops. Second row: a shot of healed scars on a man’s tanned back; a cathedral illuminated in red light; a house in front of a purple night sky with fairy lights in bare branches partially obscuring it. Bottom row: a young man in a white t shirt channeling red light between his palms; a lilac-walled foyer with black and white marble checkerboard flooring; a crow looking down at a headstone it is perched on.

THIS SOUNDS SO COOL!!!!!!!

I need this book desperately, intravenously, IMMEDIATELY!!

This pitch slays!!! 🧛

I absolutely LOVE this premise!! I’m a [redacted] for second chance romances 😍😍😍

This sounds so cool, Camila!!!!!

When Nora Foscara unearths her sister’s scavenger hunt, she’s plunged into a world of a secret society, colonized magic, and whispers from the grave—but the truth could devour her before graduation.

#QueerPit #YA #F

Omg, thank you Danielle!!!

Thanks, Danni!!!

Nine images in a grid, from left to right. First row: black and white vintage coffee shop sign; half-shadowed image of a young man’s upper face with tan skin, tousled dark hair, and eyes downcast; a purple night sky with a silhouette of a house with one orange window partially obscured by a bare tree branch string with white fairy lights. Second row: Photo of a hand curling around a bright green glowing orb; a color shot of a solar eclipse surrounded by clouds; a black and white photo of two hands, both male, one with fingers lightly brushing the back of the other hand. Third row: a purple Ferris wheel at night; a wall of Sharpies for sale at a store; a photo of a broken cathedral window covered in green ivy.

How to make ALIGNMENT:
- 1 scrappy barista w/gift for enchanting
- 2 old flames (1 MUST be evil)
- 1 total solar eclipse
- 2 forms of illegal magic
- 1 pkg Sharpies

Shake together with 2 large scoops of romance. Garnish with faerie dust. Makes 1 chance to save the world.

#QueerPit #A #UF

A moodboard of nine squares, from left to right: First row - Black and white shot of cursive text on paper with a ballpoint pen; black and white shot of a hand holding a lit cigarette trailing smoke; black and white shot of a sign saying “coffee nap roasters” Second row - black background with white lowercase arial text that reads “blah, blah, blah…shut up”; a half-shadowed colored shot of a tan-skinned young man’s upper face, eyes downcast and black hair tousled; a black background with blue smoke trails Third row - a wall of sharpie packages on peg hooks in a store; an ivory background with gothic font text reading “maybe I’ve always been more comfortable in chaos”; a close up shot of a white page covered in black cursive writing partially obscured by a black ink splotch

THE LAST SUN x FINDER

When his past is resurrected, Jack B. Nimble, enchanter-turned-barista, has no choice: team up with his ex-best-friend-turned-parole officer and a single-dad necromancer to stop his ex’s demonic takeover of the Citadel before the eclipse ends, or die trying.

Enchanter/Barista seeks help saving the world.

Looking for: authority figure w/heart of gold, ok w/blood, murder, and petty crimes.

Must love: saving the world, trashing the State Fair in epic magic battles, & making out in alleyways/mausoleums.

Must have car.

People are quick to pooh-pooh things like knitting and crochet and embroidery and quilting, but there's something a little rebellious about deliberately being inefficient when we're constantly bombarded with tips to optimize our personal output.

After we get settled in our new place I’ll share stash pics, too! And between now and then, I’ll start posting project pics. It’s high time I share the fiber love!

🧵You can help flood victims in Texas by donating to the organizations I've linked in replies. There may be red, blue, and purple states, but in this moment, these are children and families forever broken. I send my love, my honor and my faith in humanity to help hold these people together.

This feels like the exact sort of sleazy corporate thing Magic Beans would perpetuate. Thx for inspiring me all those years ago with the Unicorn Frappuccino, but for this among many, MANY other reasons I will never go back. So glad their fictional counterpart gets demolished in ALIGNMENT.

I would love to see a full stash tour one day - I had to pack mine away for the move and I miss seeing the colors and possibilities 😭 p.s. your knitting updates are the number one reason I even open this app, so thank you for all your posts!

Ooooh you know this is my jam, Frost!!! So excited to see/hear more!!

Another great shot of Chai, my sweet, unbothered king. Stress? He doesn’t know her. But if he did, he’d climb into her lap and purr.

Wow!!!! I love how you inked the tattoos for Andrew - the way the color feels almost translucent adds so much depth! I think you should 100% share more like this! 🤩🤩🤩

Cider, a long haired black cat, looks out a window at a rainy suburb

Chai, an orange and white tabby cat, glares up at the camera from the seat of a black and hot pink computer chair

Pumpkin, an orange tabby, is dressed in a baby pink kitty onesie and a “donut cone” shaped like an orange slice, inside a wire dog crate as he recovers post-neuter

A much overdue kitty update: Cider has discovered rain also happens outside the office window; Chai is pursuing a career in cybersecurity, and Pumpkin got arrested for being too cute (aka is recovering from his neuter very well).
