If Ali Hazelwood and Andy Weir wrote a book, it would be CHEMPORTAL, a sci-fi romcom with real chemistry. Now querying!

Two awkward scientists on an alternate Earth must overcome their mutual dislike to save the world. But their experiments - and their growing feelings - threaten to explode.

PITCH: After Poppy the Quilldresser suffers the loss of her elderly friend Pol, his hunky Blacksmith son Ash moves in next door and awakens a cascade of repressed memories. In order to escape her painful flashbacks and befriend her new neighbor, Poppy must learn to accept her grief.

Themes & Comps: (Onward, Teller of Small Fortunes, Legends & Lattes); • Bi rep & Spice 🌶️ * Artisans are the sole keepers of magic * Processing grief & trauma * Abundantly patient characters & HEA * Birdwatching, pretty costumes, & cozy crafts

Snippets: “Your father—” My mouth gaped. I felt the blood rush to my face, my pulse pounding in my ears. “You!” I took another half step back, balling my fists at my side. “I know you! How dare you claim this shop for your own after you abandoned him at the end of his life!” My finger traced the curve of the earring to the cut of his jaw. He closed his eyes as my thumb followed the scarred line down from his brow and across his eyelid and cheekbone. I rested my fingertips beneath his chin and brought his eyesback to mine. FIRST LINES: Endangered animals don’t know that they’re endangered, do they? They’ve no idea how close to the precipice of oblivion they teeter. But then, what good would it do anyone if they were as aware as the rest of us? If they knew the way we chew our fingernails in anxiety during a hundred-year storm? When their numbers dwindle from thousands… to hundreds… to single digits. When they travel for miles and miles without encountering a single creature like thems

QUILL, a cozy, wholesome romantasy that explores grief, loss, environmentalism, geopolitics, craftsmanship, and breaking generational cycles… all through the lens of a magical quill maker named Poppy.

Heartbroken by the man she loves, Amaya now has to vacate her home, too

So, OF COURSE she thinks an arranged marriage will solve all her problems!

What happens when a chemistry professor writes a romance?

If that prof is me, you get CHEMPORTAL, in which two awkward scientists battle cults, corporations, and unwanted feelings as they try to invent fertilizer.

Plus, feminist takes on science history. And maybe aliens.

The Shapes We Take In The Fire: An Agent's Guide

A bisexual designer takes a new job working on a high-profile ad campaign with a debt-ridden Latina writer, and chooses to risk his hard-won sobriety and mental health for her love, one he never thought he could deserve—especially after he destroyed his last relationship.

For fans of how to end a love story, seven days in june, atmosphere and tomorrow, tomorrow and tomorrow

Excerpt: And for the first time in months, he dreamed in color again. The dreams weren’t like before. They weren’t chaotic fever-swamps of guilt and fire, of parties and bodies blurring into chaos. He didn't suffer through another nightmare, masquerading as a memory. The images were gentle, at last. Peaceful. He dreamed of watercolors dripping onto the canvas, drawing on the shape of her hands resting on a notepad. Of an inward current taking shape. Of warmth without fire. THEMES Queer identity 
& reinvention The cost of secrets and self-erasure Recovery as a way of living The impact of trauma on intimacy Class divides

an illustration of two boys, pictured from the shoulders up. One is blonde with an annoyed expression, the other is dark haired and grinning, making a peace sign with one hand and poking the blonde's cheek with the other. below, superimposed over a smartphone, are the words THE VILLAIN EDIT (attorneytrash)

At twenty-six, Max Reilly is already ex a lot of things. Ex-star of Affinity, the TV drama he led for three seasons. Ex-fiancé of Holly Aveline, his costar, who hasn’t spoken to him since the scandal that tanked his career. And ex-darling of the show’s fan base, who went from love letters to death threats faster than the speed of cable. Most of all, Max is exhausted. The last thing he wants is to be back in the public eye. But when offered a deal to get out of his contract for good, it’s hard to resist—even if the catch is a pre-season publicity tour with Affinity’s current cast. Even if that means weeks on the road with not only his former castmates, but also the show’s newest cast member: Nico Mariani, a scandal-happy reality TV transplant known for exclusively playing villains. It’s only a few weeks. A few weeks facing crowds of people who actively hate him, of being hounded by gossip columnists, of being trapped on-and-offstage with Nico, who Max can’t shake to save his life. Because as it turns out, Nico has his own deal with the producers—and soon angry fans and nosy reporters will be the least of Max’s problems.

EXCERPT: Nico’s first thought on seeing Max Reilly in the flesh had been, damn, this dude’s tall. He wasn’t sure what he’d expected. Rory Harper, maybe, that archetypal boy-next-door who’d bit the dust at the end of Affinity season three. There was this one publicity still of him—white t-shirt, jeans, flannel tied around the waist, artistically placed smudges of grease—that was pinned to the vision boards of church-and-chevy girls nationwide. Oh my god, so dreamy, fuck me in a hayloft, etc. Max Reilly was a very different creature. Nico had him cataloged in one go. Indoorsy, sleepy eyes, hair unfortunately cut with the roots grown in. Skittish. Bad posture. Cargo pants (seriously). He didn’t dress like America’s Boyfriend, or anyone’s boyfriend, honestly, if we were being totally honest here, if we were being candid. He was, to put it nicely, nothing to write in your diary about. Tall, though, damn. And those freckles. But that was the devil talking.

Black bg with pink paper heart strung, almost ripped in half roses are red... ryde cassidy is a catch... welcome, contestants, to LAST CHANCE MATCH an adult speculative sci fi horromance

Black bg with pink paper heart strung, almost ripped in half roses are red... the humanoid host is a bitch... but it makes a killer pitch Without a government-appointed soulmate, 28-year-old Cera faces extermination at thirty, the age at which soulmateless are killed to aid in population control and limiting resources. A new dating show, Last Chance Match, sets out to change the luck of the soulmateless and give them another shot at finding their other half. Cera is chosen to participate, but is quickly deflated when she’s paired with the infuriatingly attractive but mysterious Ryde. The show takes a dark turn when a fellow contestant is killed by the robot host, forcing Cera and Ryde to fight for their happily ever after—and to make it out alive.

Black bg with pink paper heart strung, almost ripped in half roses are red... cera should have seen the signs... especially with these opening lines The old holovision in the corner of Kona’s Diner projected the fuzzy image of a news reporter. A patron passed by it, their arm grazing the hologram. It skipped as the woman tilted her head, but her raven-colored bob stayed perfectly placed. “Within the next hour, eighteen lucky individuals will be notified via holomessage if they’ve been chosen to partake in Last Chance Match. To quote President Blanche, this initiative will allow for select soulmateless to find the one who’s to die for,” said the reporter. “As a reminder, it is mandatory for those chosen to travel to—” Cera shook her head, then grabbed a holotablet from the charging station. Last Chance Match was an excuse for the government to capitalize off the miserable lives of soulmateless and being so close to the age of thirty, Cera wouldn’t be picked for the show.

Image of forbidden loves Simone & Jadriel from my book: THE TRUTH OF FEAR. A Young Adult Feminist Horror, by Jenn Lee Frances. Taglines: Touch Him & Burn. Kiss Her & Die Accolades: Best Submission Award SCBWI MAYFEST conference 2025 *BIG 5 Editor RequestS & Write Hive 2025 Mentorship Winner* *Commissioned art by @demonyong_nini

Image of creepy ghost girl, Nina, The East River Wraith. With the tagline: DEATH IS COMING. THE PITCH: When grief-stricken Simone summoned her murdered cousin, the girl who emerged from the shadowy depths wasn't Nina anymore. They call her by another name—The East River Wraith. She’s a malevolent spirit who drowns deserving boys. Simone should help her find peace, but the truth is, she’d rather let Nina be a vengeful ghost than ever lose her again. Except, now The Wraith is taking her rage out on the wrong boy. The one boy Simone has always trusted. Simone is risking her first love’s life & her cousin’s afterlife by holding on to them both. But she can’t let go again.

The First Page of my book: The Drowning Girl started haunting my dreams again when my cousin went missing. She was waiting for me every time I shut my eyes in the harrowing weeks before Nina was found and dragged from the river. If I’d known I was foreseeing my cousin’s death most of my life, maybe I could’ve changed it. All I could do was try to help her in the afterlife. Gran always said when one dies a traumatic death their spirit can get stuck in a loop, reliving that violence over and over. I couldn’t let her exist that way. So, I called upon her, with a simple altar placed alongside the memorials for the others who were pulled out of the East River that frigid fall. Striking the long wooden match, I shielded the flame from the wind with my wounded palm, determined to light the final candle. The first for the grieved. The second for protection. The third for invoking that which shouldn’t be spoken. One should never summon the dead. They can always find you. Follow you. Attach themselves to you. I knew better, but I didn’t want my cousin to be trapped. I really just needed to see Nina again. But it wasn’t her who came.

Dark forest. An agent's guide to The Blessing Returned. Adult fantasy. 98,000 words.

Dark forest. Pitch. Idealistic Hana Hahl lives in a world that is slowly dying after a failed quest to bring back magic. The only ones left with power are self-serving royals and dark mages, while desperation has given rise to an anti-magic order. Caught up in a mystical event, Hana is blessed with an immense power that could restore nature to the world. As Hana struggles to control the overwhelming force, Lady Kalyn Nossi, the only known survivor of the disastrous quest, directs her to the one person who can help her. Matthias Azel, the failed chosen one, reluctantly agrees to teach Hana while concealing his past from her. Accompanied by Kalyn and a charismatic prince with a dangerous secret, they journey to seek answers about Hana’s destiny. They fend off demonic threats and the anti-magic forces as Hana struggles with magic that seems to resist her and a growing fear that the world isn’t meant to be saved.

A dark forest. Snippet. She took a cautious step forward, unaware she was in a spectral form. Little drops of shimmering light followed her path, dissolving into the ground. “But this has to be a sign?” Grass grew where the light fell, delicate bits of nature that should be impossible. “Maybe it’s returning!” The young woman spoke with such bright reverence as if life was a fairy tale and magic was all they needed for a happy ending. It was as if she couldn’t see the shadows approaching her. The inevitable death. “Magic should never return.” After speaking those words, he sprang forward and shoved her away from the shadows. Pain rocked him as soon as he touched her. The scorching mystical agony tore a scream out of him, but it kept her away from the unearthly menace, and the shock did what he intended. Sent him back to his body.
