Text on top of an image of a sailboat on a sea, on a sea against the backdrop of a glimmering night sky. Text reads: “BRIGHTER THAN TWO MOONS | An Agent’s Guide | Adult Sapphic Sci-Fi at 99,000 words”
Text reads: “THE PITCH | Lyr delivers goods to the last of humanity on an asteroid-wrecked planet. When her sailboat’s AI glitches, Lyr sets sail in search of the last scientists to save her. With the aid of unwelcome allies, and obstruction from unexpected enemies, Lyr discovers yet another asteroid headed for her planet—and uncovers what doomed humanity in the first place. Love, lies, and asteroids collide in this slow-burn sapphic sci-fi mystery.” Background image is two moons above a dark sea. Moodboard images include an alien landscape; a comet; a redhead woman staring up into the sky; a sailor seated with their legs crossed; and a city crumbling into a sea.
Text reads: “WRITING SAMPLE | I consider the woman in front of me, poised on the balls of her toes, like she’s ready to take off running for the docks the moment I give in; those eyes, so bright and full of hope; and come to the conclusion that she’s not a manipulative mastermind. No. Thalia Pellon is a naive idiot. I don’t get many visitors up here, she’d said. Sheltered up in that pretty little house, she’s probably never been hungry a day in her life. She’s never had to contend with the harshness of this planet, the anger of the sea, the ruthlessness of humanity. That’s how those green eyes got so wide; she never learned that it’s safer to keep them down, minding your own damn business. How did Dara pick this girl? “You’d really send a thousand pounds of dibizmine to Kojan for the vague promise of changing the future of humanity?” I sneer. It comes out just as cutting as I’d hoped. She deflates, rocking back on her heels. “Well, yeah. She says it’s going to help humanity survive our new reality—thrive, even. Haven’t you heard stories of what it used to be like on Salvar? Don’t you want that back? Don’t you want something more than… this?” She gestures down to the land again. Farmers work the field, knees in the dirt, woven baskets strapped across their backs, moving like the slow, deliberate hardback racha. Stalks of tall vegetation sway in the breeze, the sun’s rays catching in their purples and blues, illuminating them from the inside out. Beyond the edge of the fields glimmers that vast sea.” Set against a background image of two moons above a dark sea.
Images show covers of comparable novels, which include: A CLOSED AND COMMON ORBIT, SOME DESPERATE GLORY, and THE BLIGHTED STARS. Themes from these books similar to BRIGHTER THAN TWO MOONS are highlighted, and include: found family, AI sentience, soft sci-fi world, aliens, mysterious interstellar threats, headstrong female protagonists, and a queer slow-burn love story.

Text reads: “There isn’t much time to do anything but prepare for the storm to hit,” Halle says, drawing my attention back to the horizon. My heart skips a beat. The sky, so recently orange with sunset, is now ominously gray. The first tendrils of a cold front push through my curls as its fingers wrap around my throat like a noose.
