It’s a literary fiction that deals more with grief, father and daughter relationship, coming of age, friendship, existential crises, love, loneliness, and themes like person vs society, person vs person and person vs self. It has the same portrayal of the father and daughter story of INTERSTELLAR, first alien contact of ARRIVAL, suspense and mystery of NOPE and the alien hostility and female high school MC of THE FIFTH WAVE.

5TH WAVE meets NOPE meets ARRIVAL meets INTERSTELLAR

After encountering an alien while dealing with grief, Astra, a runaway, must choose between saving humanity from an alien invasion and reconciling with her dad before it’s too late.

YA Romantasy

She was born with a curse that could destroy the world, but when her mother mysteriously disappears, she soon discovers the truth of her curse and the web of lies about her life.

Love this! 🤩 when’s the premiere!

Absolutely love the cast choices going on here. Like, Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep in the same mix as Jenna Ortega and Zendaya? *chef's kiss*

Legit, though, *love* the art and vibes! Perfect for a sci-fi thriller!

Love these visuals *and* the pitch itself, but I'm especially obsessed with the cleverness in how you hid your title.

This is my aim. Either my debut or the ninth book. I have so many plans. Soon. Watch me rise

Agent or not, I will always cheer for you and I love you queen. You deserve all the hugs and kisses because you’re a great career partner. Your author advocacy is unmatched. I wish you all the best queen and a fruitful life will come. All my best, Zivvy the Baddie.

Remember me when this becomes a bestseller and the big five studios have acquired the film rights❤️❤️❤️

I love the sound of this!
