The pitch: When a storms wrecks his islands’s passenger steamer, sparing only a girl believed to be one of the monstrous Finfolk, a grieving musician must uncover who she really is before more of his people die. Moodboard: Evil-looking mermaids, a violin, poisonous mushrooms and passenger steamers on stormy seas, with a moody blue-green hue.

The snippet: ‘Are you seeing this?’ he cried. ‘Do you see them?’ ​ Dazed, Morton peered around him. All he could see was the black oil spill of the water, its steady surge and release. ‘What do you mean?’ he called back, blood thundering in his ears. ​ Edward’s eyes grew glossy with tears. Then he began to jerk around like a petrified beast, causing the boat to lurch beneath them. ‘They’re everywhere,’ he said in terror and wonderment. ‘They’re coming for me.’

A slide with green leaves and green watercolor stains says "The Pitch: A curmudgeonly witch with a chronic illness must work with a cheerful thief to stand up to a greedy pharmaceutical company." A black cat looks over it's shoulder at the text in the bottom right corner.

Tropes and Highlights include: found family, one bed at the inn, witches and familiars, cozy vibes, grumpy + sunshine, bi-for-bi romance, chronic illness rep, and foraging dates. Think, The Spellshop X Howl's Moving Castle. This text is on top of a green slide with green watercolor splotches and leaves. The book covers for The Spellshop and Howl's Moving Castle are in the center of the image.

Comps is written in the corner. Four book covers are shown in a row. Under the Whispering Door + Legends & Lattes + The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches = Potions Unincorporated. The words The Humor, The Cozy Fantasy Vibes, and The Romance make up the formula for the not yet published book on the far right. The slide is green with green water color splotches. A green vine is on the top right and the outline of a leaf and two mushrooms is on the bottom right.

First Lines is written at the top of the slide. The Text in the middle is on a tan, worn looking page background which says: Potions Unincorporated. Twelve vials sat on a shelf where one hundred should rest. Linatta Mosset picked up one of the tapered glasses---thumb-sized and filled to the brim with a warm, green liquid.

This is the second image in my guide, and it includes the pitch for my novel. Such pitch reads to say: “Whispers of the Sea follows the story of a teenage girl who embarks on a journey to rescue her uncle after he was mysteriously captured by a group of uniformed men sailing under the royal flags of a faraway kingdom. Maia must voyage across the seas to this mysterious isle where she’ll team up with a local boy to track her uncle’s whereabouts. But in order to understand the dangers that lurk ahead, she’ll be forced to uncover a lifetime worth of secrets—and she must do so before it’s too late.”

Several photos are shown in this Moodboard for I Am Chosen, a paranormal romance written by Dawn Berkoski. From the top left, a glass of aged scotch surrounded by butterscotch candies, a CEO standing in a high rise office, staring out a window, a giant hotel clock surrounded by Christmas decor, a photo of art depicting demons rising from hell, a sunset with black, billowy clouds hovering over an orange stripe, a dirty cement staircase near a darkened entrance, and the city of London as viewed from the river.

Photo is of a vibrant sunset over a graveyard as seen from the window of a fast moving vehicle. It reads: PITCH IN A WORLD CONTROLLED BY CORPORATE VAMPIRES, TWO MEN STRUGGLE FOR AUTONOMY. WILL A CHANCE MEETING LEAD THEM TO FREEDOM, OR A WEB OF SUBTERFUGE, WHERE EVERY THREAD BRINGS A MONSTER OFFERING DEATH OR PERMANTENT CONFINEMENT? Photo by Dawn Berkoski

Book vibes are all about the feel of the writing, setting, and story. The Blue Blood Series by Melissa de la Cruz Is used to represent the wealthy elite vampires living in New York, the fish out of water trope, dark secrets, and others. The Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice is used to represent young vampires rebelling against old rules and customs. Travel and setting also play a role. A plot point was inspired by the novel. Yakuza, Japan’s Criminal Underworld by David Kaplan and Alec Dubro, is used to represent some of the vampire rivals business practices. It plays a role in the series arch.

Raised by corporate vampires with little freedom or choice, Alex is used to Yakuza business rivals and back-alley deals. But nothing prepares him for Jason, a witty bartender who challenges everything he knows, and who harbors secrets as deadly as the vampires after him. 💙📚

The image shows a horror-comedy novel cover titled "DAD BODIES." The top of the cover reads "THE GAME JUST TOOK A DAD TURN" with "DAD" in a different color. The background features a haunted house with multiple towers and illuminated windows against a dark backdrop. At the center is a 20-sided die (D20) used in tabletop role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons, with visible numbers including 1, 7, 13, and 19. The die is surrounded by red blood splatter effects. At the bottom of the cover are six men with expressions of terror and shock. One man is wearing a white shirt over his head. These men are the dads referenced in the title.

Atlantis Moodboard featuring: Ancient board games, temples with waterfalls pouring into pools, neat ancient fantasy cities, forehead kisses, frolicking in canals amid a palace, beautiful island coastlines, more ancient cities, and cool statues of strange gods. Center Quote: “From the day you left this village, you became more than merely yourself. You are the Sea Mother. This is the role fate has placed upon you. I told you when you left that I believed this path has opened up to you for a reason. I still believe that. You’ve been given a chance that few others ever have—the chance to change the world for the better. I’d even dare say it’s your duty to do so, now that you have the means.”

A moodboard for Captain Amir, showing a crying eye, a sultry pirate captain, a bottle of mysterious elixir, leather boots kicked up on a treasure chest, wooden barrels and dusty glass bottles of rum, a treasure chest, a face wiping blood from their lower lip, and a pirate ship with a joyful crew sailing into the sunset. A pirate flag is subtly superimposed over the image.
