I just found out Andrea Gibson passed away and suddenly the world feels a little less bright

‘Just to be clear
I don’t want to get out
without a broken heart.
I intend to leave this life
so shattered
there’s gonna have to be
a thousand separate heavens
for all of my flying parts.’
– Andrea Gibson

uhh I love this

Love on the Vine Agent Guide By Sara Wilkinson

Becca Hopewell has trouble letting people in. She blames the death of her mom during childbirth and her father’s subsequent abandonment of her to a cold aunt. When she’s left part owner of a winery with her newfound half-brother she must decide if she’s willing to risk being rejected again. Not only by him, but by Ian Baker, the demi-god portraying, disillusioned actor she rescues from rabid fans while manning the winery’s Christmas market booth.

The Particulars: 85,000 Word Contemporary Romance. Troupes: Different worlds, strangers-to-lovers, found family. Comps: Romantic Comedy, A Winter Wish, Waiting for Tom Hanks, Notting Hill

“You’re right. Better make it three. You’re too good a saleswoman. Even without the cheat sheet. Which begs the question: How does someone who professes not to know wine work for a winery?” “That’s a long, complicated story. Too long for a few sips of wine. Or coffee. Hell, I’m not even sure a three-course meal would suffice.” Becca froze. Eyes wide as her hands hovered over bottles. “That wasn’t me begging for an invitation or anything. Not that you thought such a silly thing. Or would ever think…” Becca snapped her lips shut. Avoided his twinkling eyes by assessing the progress of the three women. Now closer than she liked. With more make-up and hands that flattened flyaway strands. Their hungry look reminiscent of the wolf at grandma’s house. “And if I did?” “What?” The man followed Becca’s frantic glance. His head snapped forward. His body straightened and angled more towards Becca and away from the women’s eager glances. The openness, the calmness disappeared like wine at an awkward Christmas party.

ROMANTIC COMEDY x NOTTING HILL

Becca's world, already upended when she's named part owner of a winery with her half-brother by her estranged father, is fully turned upside down when she rescues Ian, a disillusioned movie star hiding from an oversized role, from rabid fans.

Background: top view of a table with 2 sets of hands, a map, a laptop, a camera, notebooks, and pens Text: An agent's guide to Overcoming An adult contemporary romance by Kate Cooper

Background: top view of a table with 2 sets of hands, a map, a laptop, a camera, notebooks, and pens Text: Pitch Journalist Rowan Adams refuses to let the death of her parents define her. Charlie Shaw, a brooding photojournalist, swore off women forever after being left at the altar. Together, they interview the sole survivor of a plane crash and unintentionally uncover the airline's secret purpose as hitmen and a surprising connection to Rowan's parents. Just as they give in to the attraction they've tried to ignore, a threatening email forces Charlie to betray Rowan and destroy her chance at justice for her parents.

Background: top view of a table with 2 sets of hands, a map, a laptop, a camera, notebooks, and pens Text: Excerpt Angela releases him, and I get my first look at the photojournalist every woman swoons over. His tan skin contrasts with the light blue of his button-up, the sleeves of which are rolled up to his elbows. His curly black hair and dark stubble give him a rugged look that would make me a little weak in the knees if I wasn’t already sitting. “I’m so pleased you agreed to join us for this story! This is your partner, Rowan Adams.” “Pleasure to meet you,” I stand and hold out my hand, forgetting it’s wet from the condensation on the iced latte I set on Angela’s desk. “Likewise,” he gives me the shortest handshake known to man before pulling back and glaring down at his wet palm. “Sorry! I promise it’s nothing gross. Just water,” I grab my coffee and hold it up to show that I’m not a liar, but it slips out of my hand. Time slows as the cup tips through the air, the lid popping off. The liquid douses his bag and my favorite flats, and I clap a hand over my mouth, horrified. His expression is less than amused.

Background: top view of a table with 2 sets of hands, a map, a laptop, a camera, notebooks, and pens Text: Comps and tropes Enemies to lovers, forced proximity, workplace romance, second chance at love, fear of loving again, mental health representation Book covers at bottom of image (from left to right): Love, Theoretically by Ali Hazelwood The Right Move by Liz Tomforde Marlowe Banks, Redesigned by Jacqueline Firkins

My dual-perspective adult contemporary romance follows Rowan and Charlie as they tell the story of the sole survivor of a plane crash. While writing their article, they fight to ignore their growing feelings for each other and discover there's more to the story than they thought.

A mock query rejection email with a pearl bead background: Text: Dear Sara, Thank you for wasting my time with your query for THE PIRATE, THE PRINCESS, AND JOHN. For future reference, please note that I'm only open to multi-POV YA fantasy where the sapphic childhood-besties-turned-lovers don't get a happily-ever-after. Side note: A scorned ghost pirate trapped inside the head of a closeted princess until they both learn to help each other come out? How original. Regrets, Princess Mira View your query status page at QueryTracker.net/portal/give-up-dummy.

A mock query rejection email with a gold coin background. Text: Sara, Thank you for considering me for the most torturously feel-good, insufferably hopeful-even-in-its-bleakest-moments novel I've ever had the displeasure of reading. I suggest you jump ship on writing and take on a more practical hobby like swashbuckling, rum drinking, or breaking the curse that has me stuck inside the head of this whiny princess (thanks for that, by the way).

A mock query rejection email with an ocean wave background. Text: Hi Sara, Thank you so much for your query for THE PIRATE, THE PRINCESS, AND JOHN. While I truly admired the 82,000 word count, non-Western fantasy setting, and LGBTQ+ representation, unfortunately, I will have to pass. I would, however, like to offer a minor suggestion to change the title to THE PIRATE, THE PRINCESS, AND JOHANNA, as I believe this better reflects the titular character's gender identity. Best wishes, Johanna View your query status page at QueryTracker.net/portal/Protect-Trans-Kids

A mock query rejection email with a bloody background. Text: Ms. Duran, The empire has scrupulously reviewed your query for THE PIRATE, THE PRINCESS, AND JOHN, and has found that beneath the lighthearted, adventurous story of queer joy and acceptance is a truly blasphemous critique of the colonization of the Global South. We will be passing, but please do keep us in mind for any future projects featuring white, male, cis-het protagonists, preferably in settings inspired by medieval Europe.

The dragon is pointing an accusatory finger at the knight as if a child telling their mother that someone hurt them. The poor knight is scared.
