Pitch:

Becoming a "cousin" or "old friend" has never been an issue for undercover matchmaker Zahra. But when her most lucrative and final gig is dependent on a guy, who recognizes her from an old job, keeping her secret, she is forced to strike a deal and take on the role she's put off for years—a girlfriend

Beautiful, smart, and determined Moyo Adegbiye has it all…almost! Except true love.

After a scathing complaint to her astrology-based dating app, Cupid’s Bow, Moyo receives an irresistible not-part-of-the-plan dating coach, who also happens to be a god—Saturn 

Niyi Bankole’s workaholic father abrupt retirement leaves him as the successor to Saturn’s seat with no way out. He quickly leans he’s unequipped to be a god. Leaning into his science background to hide his incompetence, Niyi writes an algorithm that seems to work for clients…until Moyo. 

Eager to clean up his mess and (secretly) fine-tune his algorithm, Niyi offers to be Moyo’s dating coach. 

But as he walks her through theee Cupid’s Bow assigned dates, will Moyo find love through the algorithm, as she and Niyi planned, or will she get swept up in one of Saturn’s rings?

A poster with an aged off-white background. In the center, a photo of foggy coniferous trees is overlayed with Josefa de Ayala's The Sacrificial Lamb painting. Above it, in a dark red sans-serif font, it reads "11-year-old Analía Monroe only finds solace in her small circle of misfits---her younger half-sister Rajel and best friend June---and the dangerous, magical world of Mosswood deep in the forests of their rural Oregon hometown, but their obsession may have deadly consequences." The photo is outlined with a dark red border. Above the border, in green sans-serif text, it reads "There is something in the woods." Below the lamb, there are dark red blood drips which give way to the title, a green serif font reading "MOSSWOOD" and then "a novel by E.S. Hanson." Below that, in the same red sans-serif font, it reads "Adult contemporary fantasy, folk horror, dark fae folklore, eerie forests." Bordering the image are small golden guardian angel figures.

MOSSWOOD

An unusual town. A dark, eerie forest. A string of disappearances. Three misfits. A mystery they would die to solve.

THE RAVEN BOYS meets PIRANESI by way of David Lynch in this dark coming-of-age with queer & autistic representation!

Teaming up with trust fund brat Jaiye, scholarship kid Sade expected to only solve their advisors disappearance; not unearth a centuries old deal with the devil, descend into madness and worst of all, fall for her insufferable rival.

Neo-Lagos, a world divided by class and color, ruled by one AI dictator with an iron grip.

One artist and a scientist lead the rebellion 🔥. But at the risk of being frozen to ice by robot police🤖❄️

Introducing the Query Navigator Project. Pairing experienced queriers with those just starting out. (Graphic shows two cartoon astronauts wavings flags.)

Introducing the Query Navigator Project. Pairing experienced queriers with those just starting out. (Graphic shows two cartoon astronauts wavings flags.)

How It Works: While mentorship programs focus on improving writing skill and developing & polishing a manuscript, this project is focused on what comes after: understanding and navigating the query process. (Graphic of a cartoon astronaut shrugging.) Experienced queriers will be paired with newbie queriers for 3 months to provide support on the querying process. It’s a query buddy system! (Graphic of two cartoon astronauts high-fiving.)

(Graphic of two cartoon astronauts high-fiving.)

What Navigators Do. (Graphic of one cartoon astronaut talking while another scratches their head/helmet.) Text:
- Answer questions about querying best practices, choosing agents, submission guidelines, etc.
- Be a contact for those “I feel like I should know this” or “I’m embarrassed I have to ask” questions
- Help recognize form vs personalized rejections
- Provide tips for organizing, tracking, and/or prioritizing queries

Participants will also have access to a private Discord server to connect with other participating queriers and navigators! (Graphic of a cartoon astronaut floating while typing on a laptop.)

(Graphic of a cartoon astronaut floating while typing on a laptop.)

Who Can Take Part? Navigators should have at least 1 year or 1 book worth of querying fiction within the past 3 years, feel able to provide constructive comments with kindness, and be reasonably available for questions and support. Navigators can be agented or unagented. (Cartoon astronaut jumping towards a star.)
Queriers should have a completed manuscript of industry-accepted length for their genre, a query letter (300 words or less), a synopsis (1000 words or less), and plan to actively query while participating. (Cartoon astronaut hanging off a star.)

Writing friends! I reach out to lots of individual #AmQuerying folks, but I wanted to try something a bit structured to help more people. So, I'm starting the Query Navigator Project. I'm currently looking for ~10-15 trench veterans interested in helping newbies!

A ★★★★½ review of Bird (2024) A marvel. Coming of age magic in more ways than one. We follow Bailey, but she’s not the only one growing throughout this story. Nykiya Adams as Bailey is phenomenal, holding everything together. Barr...
