Love this pitch

Cass, a peri-menopausal ex potionista, her teenage son and his anti-phoenix deal with murder, wyvern race fixing, and kidnap with a hot flush-powered traditional manor house library showdown.

#DVpit #A #F #Mys #Dis

Menopausal potionista, Cass, needs a job–magic costs are sky-high. Petsitting her cousin’s wyverns sounds easy–but she's embroiled in murder, race fixing, and her teen son’s kidnap. Hot flush-powered rage saves her job and her son. For fans of Kim Watts’ Beaufort Scales. #DVpit #A #F #Mys #Dis

Love the premise Melissa

🏕️ Forced proximity trope
📸Slow-burn romance
✨Nature heals, sparks fly

Supercute storyline. Love the visual mood board.

A green bordered 9 spot square moodboard. From top corner to bottom. A wall of old fashion mirrors, a man and women kissing in old style clothes. A man standing reading it a book with his hand resting on a globe. A shot of an old sandstone building that looks like a school with green lawn before it. A cracked Mirror. A long swing in a walled garden, a girl in an old fashioned blue dress holding a rose. A fancy but omnious fantasy-esque door with books all around it. A finger pointed at a mirror with another finger pointing back.

DIVINE RIVALSxDORIAN GREY
When student Lewis's future is ruined by magical sabotage, his mirror shows an alternate reality where it never happened.
He'll do anything to get that perfect life.
But Mirror Lewis is watching back
And he'll do anything to keep it.

Super cute plot, Belinda.

A portrait shaped moodboard with silver boarders and ten pictures with "The Mirror's Glare" written in the middle. Pictures: A man looking at the edge of his reflection in a hand mirror. A quill writing on paper. A boy holding a book with his other hand resting on a globe. A couple's silhouette preparing to kiss. Some old books. A sandstone school building with grass in front. A fantasy-esque door surrounded by bookshelves. The torso of a girl in an old fashioned blue dress holding a rose. A broken Mirror. A loose collection of bright coloured gems.

DIVINE RIVALS x SERPENT&DOVE

Picture: paint brush, paint set (paint colors shown: blue, black, white, red, green), blue and red paint on paper some of which is splattered across the paper Text: Agent's Guide To: "Calamity" Jane By Melissa Bergum

Picture: Cloudy sky, clouds are darker like storm may be coming, and the sky is a darker blue Text: Pitch: Lonely Jane has mood-affecting weather abilities. Corwin's an anxious new kid. Both could use a friend. When Jane's shady landlord threatens eviction because of her, she has to control her emotions, but how can she when she's majorly crushing on Corwin?!

Pictures: Background is a partially sunny sky with some clouds; three book covers and one show poster starting from top left: Keep it Together, Keiko Carter; Komi Can't Communicate Vol. 1, Honey Lemon Soda, Free Period Text: (Starting from top left) First Crush Vibes; Crazy Friendship Goals; Shy Girl Finds Her Voice; Zany MG Voice

Picture: Background picture is an open rainbow umbrella Text: Story Influences: The idea for Jane came from telling a story with my daughter. Corwin is based in part on my own experiences with anxiety and from my time as a social worker with kids. I infused my love of anime and manga into this story.

My #AgentsGuide for "Calamity" Jane:

Middle school is hard enough, but for Jane her every emotion comes out as some kind of weather & everyone else knows it—until new kid Corwin comes along.
