Movie poster-style graphic for novel called ‘ALL YOUR QASAMS’ with author’s name Neha Yazmin underneath the bold title. Image is a close-up of a young south Asian girl in south Asian bridal wear and jewellery, smiling down at her maroon outfit. Along the top of the poster are the names of two comparison book titles ‘NEVER HAVE I EVER’ and “THE BEST LAID PLANS”. In the left corner of the poster, are three 5-star movie review-style texts pertaining to different aspects of the book. 1: “South Asian Main Cast. 2: “Friends to lovers with a difference” 3: “Bengali teens in STEM”.
Moodboard for ALL YOUR QASAMS with a quote from the novel reading, ‘You are madness incarnate’ and five images: picture of a hot chocolate drink and heart-shaped cookies, a couple embracing during a boat ride, a young south Asian girl in south Asian bridal wear and jewellery smiling down at her maroon outfit, a close-up of a young man kissing the forehead of a young woman, a close-up the joined hands of a south Asian bride and groom, a young man in an aesthetic library reading a hardcover text book. The moodboard has the premise of the story written above it, which reads: “17-year-old Kavi thinks this year is her last chance to meet a boy and fall in love—due to a certain Qasam—and is out to find a boyfriend. Enter Aaron Mirza. He’s perfect, smitten. So, she must be perfect too. Her childhood best friend Ryhan will show her the ropes and become her Practice Boyfriend, right? But Ryhan has a secret, which could ruin everything. And if Kavi’s strict grandfather learns about her boyfriends, the real one or the fake, he’ll crush her dreams of moving to Scotland for her Medicine Degree.”
Crime?
I made my BFF a practice boyfriend so I could become the perfect girlfriend to my actual boyfriend
Defence?
It was my only shot at love & relationships; it had to be perfect
Sentence:
Threat of losing everything—even my dreams of studying Medicine in🏴—if the truth comes out

Generational dysfunction and a broken justice system forced me to choose between accepting a guilty charge and protecting my son from the man who said he was going to ruin my life. Luckily I learned some things in jail.

A MEMORY OF MOONKISSED MALICE Fantasy Dark Academia Feminine Rage Vampires Corrupted Moon Magic Villain Era Protag Queendoms Enemies to Lovers Found Family
THE PITCH 18-year-old Alyss Veylas wishes to attend Nocturne Collegiate for one reason—revenge. Five long years after her sister was murdered by the school's guardian, she finally gets that chance. Armed with a Moon Fragment granting memory magic and the aid of her ex and his new girlfriend, Alyss must confront the woman who took away the person she loved most. YA Gothic Fantasy 93,000 Words
CHAPTER ONE The rain made it easier to rob his grave. My shovel carved through the sodden earth, the water contorting into murky veins around its edge. Desperation drove each labored thrust, the burning ache in my muscles but an afterthought to the prize that lied in wait. Even the Valera Forest held its breath; the fog thick enough to smother the night's whispers. All was silent save for the spilling of soil under the deluge that drenched us. Us. As I lifted my gaze to the boy standing across from me, I found that word had lost all semblance of warmth.

A moodboard featuring nine photos in a 3x3 grid shape. From left to right, top to bottom: 1. A shot from the back of a person wrapping their arm around another person. They’re both leaning on each other, while sitting down. They appear to be next to a river or pond and sitting on grass. 2. Hands holding up a flower crown. 3. A close-up of an elf-like, long pointy ear. Colorized to be almost black and white. 4. A hand holding up dirt with what appears to be parts of a plant. Below it a patch of dirt with more green plant parts can be seen. 5. A wooden sign, pointing to the right, with big letters that say, “HOPE.” 6. A hand being stuck in water. The water seems to have dirt and some debris in it. I interpret it as a river. 7. A rustic village with a winding road, lots of trees and greenery, and a cluster of houses visible on the left. 8. Two hands hovering above a green plant. 9. An assortment of five chickens sitting on a wooden fence. Greenery can be seen in the background. (Images from Pinterest)

Short Pitch: Set in a war-torn country. An orphaned boy and his older brother feel like everyday is a struggle and a reminder of what they lost. Until one day, when they get the opportunity to move to Greenfield — a small, rustic village on the outskirts of the country and a chance at a real home. There, the boy meets Sam — a mysterious, closed-off girl with pointy ears. Together the two kids realize that facing their internal fears might not be so scary if they don’t have to do it alone.
