it pains me to say this, but i think i've reached the "should i shelve my book?" phase of querying

there's no better feeling than being head over heels in love with your own writing, especially after a period of much doubt and despair

i honestly don’t know what’s worse as a querying author, the weeks of silence or a spree of rejections in the space of twenty four hours

none as of yet

"i think i'm gonna die in this house" i sing as i enter my god knows what month of querying

all roads lead to a blank word document

wow. i'm completely blown away by the love that was shown for all the devils + godless & wrecked during #questpit yesterday. to everyone who liked, reposted or commented on one of my pitches—THANK YOU. it means more than you could ever know!! 🥹🫶🏼

❝she is a wisp, a wile, a wonder, someone who i'll probably never have the privilege of meeting, not in this lifetime at least.❞

introducing 𝐆𝐎𝐃𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐒 & 𝐖𝐑𝐄𝐂𝐊𝐄𝐃, an adult literary romance coming to the querying trenches later this year 🌞

Dark forest. An agent's guide to The Blessing Returned. Adult fantasy. 98,000 words.

Dark forest. Pitch. Idealistic Hana Hahl lives in a world that is slowly dying after a failed quest to bring back magic. The only ones left with power are self-serving royals and dark mages, while desperation has given rise to an anti-magic order. Caught up in a mystical event, Hana is blessed with an immense power that could restore nature to the world. As Hana struggles to control the overwhelming force, Lady Kalyn Nossi, the only known survivor of the disastrous quest, directs her to the one person who can help her. Matthias Azel, the failed chosen one, reluctantly agrees to teach Hana while concealing his past from her. Accompanied by Kalyn and a charismatic prince with a dangerous secret, they journey to seek answers about Hana’s destiny. They fend off demonic threats and the anti-magic forces as Hana struggles with magic that seems to resist her and a growing fear that the world isn’t meant to be saved.

A dark forest. Snippet. She took a cautious step forward, unaware she was in a spectral form. Little drops of shimmering light followed her path, dissolving into the ground. “But this has to be a sign?” Grass grew where the light fell, delicate bits of nature that should be impossible. “Maybe it’s returning!” The young woman spoke with such bright reverence as if life was a fairy tale and magic was all they needed for a happy ending. It was as if she couldn’t see the shadows approaching her. The inevitable death. “Magic should never return.” After speaking those words, he sprang forward and shoved her away from the shadows. Pain rocked him as soon as he touched her. The scorching mystical agony tore a scream out of him, but it kept her away from the unearthly menace, and the shock did what he intended. Sent him back to his body.

A dark forest. Comps. Nausicaä. One Dark Window. The Starless Crown. Godkiller. Final Fantasy VII Remake. Tropes. Chosen One (s)? Ecofantasy. Dieselpunk. Grumpy/Sunshine. LGBTQIA+. Multi POV.
