Frankie Stein middle grade horror graphic novel cover with the titular character standing amongst her laboratory with syringe full of ominous fluid and bone saw in hand. An eerie orange smoke blasts forth from the machinery. Title reads Frankie Stein, with the author byline as Joshua Chennault.

A series of graphic novel pages showing Frankie digging through a pet cemetery for various parts for her undead collection.

Character designs for Frankie and some of her creatures. Frankie is a tall, lanky, black haired 12-year-old girl. Speckled by freckles all over and her clothes are tattered and old. The creatures are amalgamations of various parts of animals, with glowing orange eyes, and sickly slimy tongues.

Character designs for the bullies and Frankie's parents. A blonde haired ruffian girl, and short-wide spiky haired tough guy, and a slim brute punching a fist into his other hand. Frankie's mom is tall, freckled, and black headed just like her, but is much more of an athlete and wannabe influencer. Her father is incredibly short, with sunken eyes, and ungroomed.

👻 Bullied by other kids and ignored at home, desperate oddball Frankie Stein replaces her need for human connection with a menagerie of undead monsters. But when her creations lash out against the town, Frankie is left with two choices: halt the subjugation or lead it. 👻

Made from non-AI free stock images. This image is a book cover design for a novel titled "Happy Death Inc." by B. Van Bodegom. The cover is divided into three distinct horizontal sections: 1. Top Section: Features a cartoonish blue sky with white clouds and a bright sun. At the top, a tagline reads: "How much would you pay to die with a smile?" The word "HAPPY" appears in large, playful, hand-drawn-style font, partially overlapping the sky background. 2. Middle Section: A photograph of a deceased man in a suit, lying in a casket. He has an exaggerated smile on his face, almost unnaturally wide and clean, suggesting artificial enhancement or post-mortem alteration. Overlaid on this image is the word "DEATH" in the same large font as the previous word. 3. Bottom Section: A cartoon city skyline in pastel tones, similar in style to the top sky background. The word "INC." is overlaid prominently in the same large font. At the very bottom, in smaller capital letters, it says: "A Novel by B VAN BODEGOM"

BLACK MIRROR × SEVERANCE × THE GOOD PLACE

Having a happy death is a luxury service for the rich and Wren is the rising top salesman—until a cynical coworker and a depressed billionaire force him to rethink it all in a world where even your last smile has a price tag.

A green background, an Agent's Guide to "KNOW YOU BETTER," an adult plus-size romcom by Brittney Farrell. Includes two stock images of characters, one plus-size woman and a tattooed man. Plus images of two dogs, a kitchen, and laser tag.

"Know You Better" one-paragraph pitch: After her boyfriend of six years moves out and leaves her with rent she can’t afford, retail manager Sydney Bennett is barely hanging on—juggling long shifts and a side hustle dog-sitting for clients with the worst-behaved pets in Metro Detroit. When she meets Owen Sutton in the personal care aisle after a rant about two “demonic Pomeranians,” he’s instantly charmed—and in need of a sitter for his own, much better-behaved dogs. What starts as a business arrangement turns into something gentler and deeper: a slow-burning romance between two people still healing from betrayal. But as Sydney faces losing her apartment and Owen’s past betrayal comes back to haunt him, they’ll have to decide if the safety they’ve found in each other is worth risking their hearts for. Along with Target Audience info: Millennial and Gen Z women who love books that feel like a Taylor Swift song. For fans of heartfelt romcoms that balance wit and humor with deep topics. And readers who fall in love with real, messy characters and crave positive plus-size representation. And comp titles with images of "Savor It" by Tarah DeWitt, citing sizzling banter and tension, "Curvy Girl Summer" by Danielle Allen for the plus-size confidence, "You, With a View" by Jessica Joyce for the emotional exploration of starting over, and "Just for the Summer" by Abby Jimenez for acts of service as a love language. On a green background with two more stock images of characters.

Green background with a writing sample and quotes from "Know You Better"

Tropes of "Know You Better" and character images, stock, along with information about the characters. Sydney Sage Bennett: 30, Aquarius, Retail Ops Manager. Empathetic. Competitive. Amazing cook. Loves hockey. Sarcasm as a shield. Pilates girlie. Brunch is her love language. Poor spending habits. Younger sister. Sworn off relationships to focus on herself. Owen James Sutton: 31, Cancer, National Events Manager. Patient and loyal. Flirty. Loves hockey. Bottles everything up. Former company co-founder. Amazing dog dad. Acts of service. Takes care of his elderly neighbor. Older brother. Prone to emotional spill-overs.

A plus-size baddie dog sits to survive after her ex leaves her with rent she can’t afford—then she meets a guy in the personal care aisle who’s everything her ex wasn’t: loyal, patient, and in desperate need of a dog sitter…which might just ruin her plan to swear off love forever. #GhostPit #Q #A #R
