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.

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 refreshed introduction to WHISPERS OF THE SEA, a YA Fantasy that will embark soon on its query journey. Featuring: Native Hawaiian Rep Cultural Identity Setting as a Character
The second slide showcases the pitch: 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. Keahi must voyage across the seas to this distant isle where she’ll team up with a 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.
The third slide indicates that WHISPERS OF THE SEA might appeal to fans of: Disney’s Moana, Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo, and Curious Tides by Pascale Lacelle. The book includes the following tropes/themes: found family, self-discovery within cultural identity, Hawaiian-inspired mythology, and adventure.
The final slide includes a snippet from the book that reads: “Keahi’s legs were immobilized as her body tried to make the decision her mind could not. The feeling was strange for she had dreamt countless of times about leaving the island, only to seize the opportunity and awaken to find that she had been sold a nightmare instead.”

A collage of 5 pictures: three figures in darkness, a glitching city, a beautiful autumn road in the Catskills Mountains, and the image of two individuals on a road trip. Then in text: Glitch by Jessica Junqua The pitch: After a mysterious explosion fractures sixteen-year-old Lea Rigby’s reality—glitching entire towns and leaving survivors zombified in tech headsets—she escapes with her older brothers, the only family she has left. While static spreads across the sky and buildings blink in and out of existence, Lea clings to joy, to adventure, and to the role of holding her broken family together. But when a disgraced inventor—Arthur Jove—injects her with a prototype implant meant to replace the headsets he created, Lea’s mind begins to turn against her. Now haunted by static-filled visions, a voice that isn’t hers, and the fear that her body no longer belongs to her, Lea must fight to stay herself. If she loses, she won’t just be consumed—she’ll be weaponized. Glitch is a story about siblings, survival, and selfhood in a world that’s forgotten what it means to be human. Then in bolded letters: 92,000 words - YA Dystopian Thriller w/ Speculative Tech Elements.
A glitching world, a grieving family, and a queer 16-year-old girl fighting off the voice in her head—before she becomes the prototype for a disgraced inventor’s next evolution of control. ✨✨✨
