I swear the first few pages are harder to write then the entire book lol

Welcome to a movie poster mock-up for my adult fantasy WIP, BLOOD BASTARDS. It features a handful of images set against a dark backdrop: blood on pavement, a dagger, three silhouettes striding down an alley, and a bloody hand holding a lit match. At the top of the poster, in place of actors' names, are some genre/story elements featured in the novel: "blood magic," "crime families," "murder mystery," and "sibling drama." Towards the bottom of the poster is a brief pitch for the story, which reads as follows: "When his father is killed by a bloodline curse, the disowned heir to a blood-magic crime family has five days to work with his estranged siblings, find the murderer, and break the curse—before it kills them too."

JADE CITY x A DARKER SHADE OF MAGIC

When his father is killed by a bloodline curse, the disowned heir to a blood-magic crime family has five days to reunite with his estranged siblings, find the murderer, and break the curse—before it kills them next.

I was sick too and didn’t get to pitch my female queer romantasy with a guild that’s a found family. 🫠

Thank you!

Can’t wait to query my queer romantasy with a snarky anti hero inspired by Shane from the L word!! #query #romantasy #booksky

Thanks!!

The best feeling!!! Time to edit my sapphic dark Romantasy 🖤 #writer #query #booksky

Full manuscript request because I love editing and hopefully have no more plot chnages

Happy Pride Month 🏳️‍🌈 Can’t wait to query my Sapphic Romantasy next month ❤️ #writer #books #litagents

Any advice on where to find good beta readers? I trust no one lol

How to Write Best Selling fiction by James Bell. Write a book about what you know before trying to write a book where you don’t know everything like a contemporary before jumping into fantasy.

I have a sapphic romantasy I comp to Quicksilver and Heavenly Bodies that I’ll be querying this summer! 😄 Manuscript Academy has been so helpful

No problem! I’ve written two queries and had them critiqued by editors in case you have more questions

I would end the query with the choice your character has to make and only reveal things that set up the stakes for that choice :)

What about Sapphic Romantasy? 🤗

I’m finishing my Sapphic Romantasy and I cannot wait to start querying it #wlw #querying #litagents

#writing #querying #aspiring-author

I sent my YA novel Who is A. A. Madison? that has a pen name/secret identity like in Bridgerton but with the atmosphere of John Green novels. I have one agent reading the full manuscript at the moment. If it’s not a fit for you I wish you luck in your hunt for YA!

2025 goal : I will land a literary agent for my YA contemporary novel and Adult queer Romantasy novel ✍️🌟🌟🌟 #query #writing

How do you feel about morally gray MCs in Romantasy?

Good luck! If you get stuck I like manuscript academy they have written critiques from agents to get what they are really thinking when you query them

That move and signs are my guilty pleasure

My google search history would suggest I’m a psycho but I’m just a writer 🫠

I have a YA Contemporary with romance subplot with comps to The Poet X, All My Rage, and How to Make Friends with the Dark that i plan to query you. I love manuscript academy.
