Slide 1: Cover slide for HOW TO COME HOME. A picture of a cornfield at dusk overlaid by the title and two portraits, one of a man with curly dark hair and wearing a dark green sweater and one of a man with pale blond hair, glasses, and wearing a jacket, vest, and tie. A brown frame with gilded accents encloses the slide.

Slide 2: PITCH & COMPS After a decade behind bars, former Prohibition crime boss Nathan Gilliard takes a job working for a kindhearted single father at his small-town general store—but Nathan’s old life and older secrets aren’t easily left behind bars, and both men must confront the consequences of holding their pasts too present if they have any hope of building a future together. Comps presented are WE COULD BE SO GOOD by Cat Sebastian, INLAND by Téa Obreht, PEAKY BLINDERS, THE FOUR WINDS by Kristin Hannah, THE COMPANION by EE Ottoman, and the albums Hozier by Hozier, Laurel Hell by Mitski, and Babel by Mumford & Sons

Slide 3:TROPES & THEMES A digital painting of two men, one with dark curly hair and wearing a maroon sweater, one with blond hair and wearing a shirt with suspenders and glasses around his neck, both seated at a piano. The tropes & themes read: - Queerness without a “coming out” narrative - Unconventional family structure - Grief doesn’t end, but it changes - Romance’s sweeping love story + histfic’s sweeping plot - Disability =/= disabling - Chekhov’s $100,000 - Who you are is not what you’ve been - 30+-year-old-protagonists - Complicated siblings, positive and negative

Slide 4: EXCERPT A hotel. Anonymous people. People whose faces he’ll never see, whose names he’ll never know. Whose lives could be anything and everything, passing through Aurora on their way to California or New York or Canada. On the train, that had been the most beautiful thing in the world to Nathan, the anonymity. Now the horror of it grounds him to the sidewalk. Ten years he spent unknowable and resilient and caged, because the pain of knowing a different life and losing it cut so deep he didn’t know if he’d survive another bout of loss. And even in Blankenship he’d risked knowing, risked caring, and lost again. No lessons learned. More pieces of him to gather up, and Nathan’s hands too small to carry all of them. He can look in this ordinary little hotel all he likes. He’s burned too much, built too little to aspire to an ordinary life. No, all that awaits Nathan Gilliard is blood money and cold vengeance.

🛤️ HOW TO COME HOME🛤️

An ex-Prohibition fixer and a small-town general store owner must overcome holding their pasts too present in order to build a future together in 1930s America.

Arzhang is wearing only red dhoti pants, shirtless with well developed muscles and golden fringe across his eyes to indicate he is visually impaired. They are standing in a dark alley. AGENT'S GUIDE The Sun Diamond Princess & the Blind Assassin by Elise Betz 103K adult stand alone romantacy, light fantasy, dual POV, bi-racial princess, disabled blind romantic interest, plenty of pining, angst, sexual tension, and spice. First sentence, first page: “If beauty was a currency for women to procure a husband, Princess Myra was a pauper.”

A "sun diamond" (a roughly tumbled yellow crystal rock in a pendant faded in the background )- part of a panel with the upper half of the pendant. The Pitch Due to a mix-up at a brothel, a blind former assassin saves a facially scarred princess from an assassin sent by her mother, the queen regent. On the run together, the princess brokers peace with a warring country, offering herself up for marriage with hopes of returning home and deposing her tyrannical mother. The princess is torn between her love for her country and her love for the blind assassin.

Lower half of "sun diamond pendant" faded in background of quartering of image. What if we have a princess that isn’t beautiful, short, delicate, weak and helpless? What if the princess saves the romantic lead from a life of prostitution? What if we have a princess who is short tempered, can kick ass and swears? What if Tristan & Isolde had a happy ending instead? What if we have a story that criticizes sexually repressive patriarchal societies?

Purple and orange flames over a dark background. White text reads: The Guardians of Melya present, The Healer Witch. A Bewitched 97K Adult Fantasy by K J Silver

Purple and orange flames over a dark background. The white text reads: The pitch - Captain Onwyn Storm's life changes the moment he agrees to work for General Redwood, though he will soon learn just how much. While trying to prove himself and fulfill the bargain he's made to be rid of his father's corrupting influence once and for all he is forces to work with Lunary. A Healer Witch who has more secrets than he can keep track of and could very well cost him everything he has worked so hard for. Or his life, if he's not careful.

Purple and orange flames over a dark background. The white text reads: Inside the healer witch - Morally grey FMC, cozy with a dash of darkness, the slowest flame to ever burn, meddling gods, found family that annoy each other to death, sentient houses and secret libraries. 3 pictures on top of it are: the cover for The Courting of Bristol Keats and The Witch Collector, as well as a poster for Avatar the Last Airbender

Purple and orange flames over a dark background. White text reads: The Prologue - And so Ylluriel had endured centuries of watching how they destroyed each other. Over land, resources, family feuds. The reason didn’t seem to matter, for they always found another excuse to turn against one another. The greed, the hopelessness. The anger and blood lust. The jealousy and despair. They had all infected the lands of Melya like a plague that no one could stop. Ylluriel had easily grown tired of staying aside. Of having the power to change things and not do anything to help the children that she loved so fiercely. Her love was so great that she was willing to go against Melya herself, the Mother of all. Her grandmother. It wasn’t the first time she had defied her, after all, and she was sure it would not be the last. Especially not when a child, so desperate to live, had found her way to her realm.

If you thought coming back to the place you hate the most was bad, imagine getting tangled in a Healer’s dodgy business AND constantly putting your life in danger in the process.

The odds are not in their favour, but the Gods are.

PAGE 1 is a blue background with a hand reaching out of water. Words along the top say SOME SECRETS ARE JUST TOO DANGEROUS TO KNOW... An Agent's Guide to Careless Whispers, Romantic Suspense, a 98k word romantic suspense.

PAGE 2 has a picture of a woman looking over her shoulder at the camera. On the other side says Pitch & Plot and has the following text: With their multiple homes and a business portfolio of luxury hotels, the Constantines' lives might be a world away from 29-year-old Listy Powers’ but Troy and his sister Olympia are like family, an unlikely yet close bond forged years ago at university. So when she learns Olympia, badly injured in a car accident, is back home on the Greek island of Paxos, Listy sets off immediately to see her. Being at their villa, however, means unavoidable proximity with Olympia's very disapproving eldest brother whom Listy has always loved. When they first met 8 years ago, Kris was a married man with a pregnant wife; now he's a widower. But as the attraction they'd fought back then re-kindles, suspicions resurface about Kris' wife's death. Beautiful, manipulative Rianna had not been well-liked. Her speciality was ferreting out people's secrets. And everyone, Listy discovers, has something to hide. As she unravels what happened to Rianna, the truth threatens Listy’s future happiness and the lives of those dear to her, and she must decide if crossing that line to protect someone she loves is a price she's willing to pay.

PAGE 3 has a photo on one side of a villa at night. On the other side it says Opening Lines and has the following text: As the song fades, she hears the footsteps behind her. She doesn't rise from the lounger or turn her head. Just rolls her eyes and takes another gulp of wine, fixing her gaze ahead. Beyond the villa's perimeter wall where the wooded slopes fall away, the sea glimmers under the silver coin of a moon. 'I told you to leave,' she says, her voice slurred. 'It's over. There's nothing more to say.' 'I have plenty to say.' Her head whips round then. She smiles, and the villa's floodlit swimming pool pulses as if it, too, is energised, its rippling glow tipping the brooding hedges with gold. She'd been wondering if one of them would turn up. She'd refused to go to the stupid party. They're all stuck-up and boring, and they hate her so she knows she won't be missed. But sitting here alone by the pool, drinking, waiting for her phone to ping a reply – any kind of response! – she'd grown bored and been thinking maybe she ought to go after all. Just to spoil their fun.

PAGE 4 has a collage of pictures and the title Tropes & Themes & The Vibes. Tropes and Themes are: du Maurier's Rebecca vibes; Found family; Loss; Slow burn romance; Yearning; Obsession; Unrequited love; Secrets; Betrayal; Murder Lower half of page has The Comps – Nanny Wanted by Lizzy Barber, End of Story by AJ Finn, The Perfect Couple by Elin Hilderbrand, Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier and the Sky Atlantic series Riviera.

As she pushes swathes of long black hair behind her ears and rolls up the sleeves of her turtleneck to the elbows, I wait for her charcoal eyes to finally latch onto me, like a crocodile spying its next meal across the surface of the water. But they never do. She ignores me entirely, fixing her gaze instead on the skull between my hands. I can’t extinguish the flame of indignation inside me. In a more forgiving world, we would be equals. Rivals. But as things stand, I’m no more to her than the pile of dust on Eram’s desk.

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.

disgraced actor formerly known as America's Boyfriend VS. serial reality TV villain. three weeks, three fan conventions, and a whole lot of antics.
