Thank you! 😊 I'm still in outlining/loosest draft possible, it's been difficult to not feel like I'm making a wrong choice for the story at every interaction so I'm figuring that out 😤

#PitchDis a pitch event for unagented disabled is open for registration for a few more days!

The event is hosted on their website, so follow @pitchdis.com for more information!

A little moodboard in warm browns. Grid with six images. Top row: image of a clearing with trees a little further back. Brown box with the words “Fall of” Middle row: brown box with the word “Words.” Close up of a branch with few drops and a few brown leaves Bottom row: light brown fern leaf in front of a road meandering into the background. Scattered colorful maple leaves on the ground. You can almost smell the earthy dampness. Template and pics courtesy of Canva.

For me and my CPs, it’s time to start Fall of Words this September.

Open and individual goals. Small goals, big goals, all goals count.

If you’re trying to get some words down this month, too: good luck and have fun. And if you need a cheerleader, I’ll be here!

#FallofWords

Black background - all text. #CastPit #CastPit is an online pitching event for authors to promote their books at any stage, from published to work in progress - yes, even drafting phase. The main purpose of this pitching event is for you, the author, to give literary agents, publishers, and potential readers, a chance to see inside your mind and envision who your best pick to play your characters would be if your book was turned into a TV series or movie. For us visually oriented people, it helps us imagine your characters better. If your book would be better suited to anime/animation, you can pick an animation style/production house and voice actor for your characters. If you include a director, include a movie they directed that makes you list them. You can even include composers, cinematographers and costume designers. Anyone you feel would be essential to bring the vision of your book properly to the big or small screen. ​ This is a new event, so be creative and have fun with it. You don't have to follow the examples below, using the Agent's Guide style, but a jumping off point. You can even do mood boards with your actors, just be sure to list the actor's name and the character they would play.

Hello #writerscommunity
There is a new pitch event, #CastPit, happening Nov. 13, 2025.

#BluePit 📖 #Q #A #SF #LGBT

A 3x3 moodboard, depicting a series of Greek triremes, seas, temples overlooking cliffsides, scrolls, a sword with a trident, and a statue of Poseidon. In the center square is the logotype for the project's title, Hymn to the Chosen.

A series of four character portraits are fitted into four squares within the square image, each depicting a different time of day. From top left to bottom right: Caine, a cocky, buff man with Mediterranean skin tones and curly black hair is flexing in broad daylight; Arina, a serious and slight young woman with similar features to Caine hugs her arms to herself at dusk; Aurora, a smiling young woman with auburn hair stares into the rising dawn; Ronan, a pale young man with dark straight hair, scowls under moonlight. The artist's handle, The Shiny Shrimp, is written on each portrait.

Sing, O Muse, the Hymn to the Chosen

Even when the Chosen One is a dumbass who's gone AWOL and now needs saving. This is the story of Arina of Tritos, who wanted to stay on the down low and now has to save her heroic cousin from the government, himself, and apparently the gods.

#BluePit📖 #NA #F #W

An image board including pictures of small potions and crystals on a shelf, a green door with a key hanging from a string down the middle, a pile of books beside a glass with a silver-chained watch on top, a small cauldron filled with herbs and crystals, a person holding a black and white marbled cat, a mossy cottage in the woods, and two small figurines of a cat and a dog on a dark table.

When a witch retires, she decides to leave her familiar with the inheritance; the house, the magical supplies, and the secrets of her past. The familiar has to navigate a new pace of life including visits from other animal kin, scrutiny from human witches, and abundant mysteries.

A sensible summer student begins a passionate, no-strings fling with her single-dad host in laid-back, leafy post-Cold War Berlin.
But when love intrudes & summer ends, they face an impossible choice: give up career & duty… or each other.

I am also basic and use Canva 😜 It's just such an easy tool and all the graphics it provides helps me flex those creative muscles to tie it into the theme I'm looking for. I love Picrew for character portraits and I'll use GIMP for any actual editing.

At the center of the image is a blurb that reads: As a marine biologist specializing in sea turtle conservation, Josie Lark has spent her entire life chasing the next coastline, the next job, determined to put as much distance as possible between this version of herself and the grief of her childhood. But when a call from her pregnant little sister drags her home to the sleepy island town of Pelican Cove, Josie returns with a set itinerary: pack up their late mother’s house, put together her restoration proposal for the Gulf Conservation Center, greet her baby niece, and board a flight to her dream job in Australia eight weeks later. Will Mercer is not part of that plan. Will is the boy she once loved. He’s her childhood best friend, her first kiss and her first heartbreak, and the one person Josie never quite stopped regretting. While she ran off to college, Will stayed, tied to his family marina and a life Josie didn’t want for herself. With Pelican Cove’s fragile ecosystem and coastal economy in crisis, Josie’s project at the Conservation Center puts her directly in Will’s orbit. The electric chemistry is still there, but so are the ghosts of who they used to be—and the reality that Josie is leaving. Again. As summer stretches into fall, between long days on the water and a storm that changes everything, Josie begins to question where she truly belongs—and what it would mean to stay. The background is a pale blue to darker blue gradient from left to right. The bottom of the image reads “@indesii”.

When marine biologist Josie Lark returns home temporarily to support her pregnant little sister and save Pelican Cove's coastline, unfinished business with her first love – Will Mercer – threatens to turn her carefully planned escape into a reason to stay.

Trouple images, lots of three sets of legs being crossed, three hands showing various middle fingers, a person getting on a motorcycle cycle, someone reading in a black sports bra and gray sweatpants, someone sitting in a flower field with a pink skirt on and white ruffle shirt and three quotes; “Teasing you is what I’m best at, sorry babe.” “Together or not at all” “She wonders if maybe she needs to kiss both of them at the same time?” And “I love you. Stop breaking things. No fires either”
