im so obsessed with this book. it made me smile, laugh, giggle and kick my feet, and also gasp out loud. #litagents COME GET THIS AMAZING YA PARANORMAL ROMANTASY NOW!!

Agent's Guide to The Jinxborough Vampires, YA Paranormal Romance, 95,000 words. (Image description: character art of a witch girl and vampire boy, embracing and smiling at one another)

PITCH: Eighteen-year-old Laurie Loveday is having a rough night—apparently, she’s a witch, vampires are real, and they’re in Jinxborough. Oh, and their bites freakin’ hurt. Trying to connect with locals doesn’t mean having someone’s teeth at her neck. Unable to sass her way out of the predicament, she breaks free with her latent magic but is pushed to the ground. Right before she becomes human à la mode, Vincent, her coworker from the bookstore, appears and kills the attacker. Vincent Fraley hates being a newbie vampire, but he’s grateful his sharp instincts saved Laurie. The transition from rebellious mortal to upstanding bloodsucker has been difficult. What’s more challenging is hiding the murder—and shielding Laurie from his obtrusive, anti-witch mother. Falling for his natural enemy is a big blunder, but Laurie makes Vincent feel human again. They can’t get too distracted by their mutual attraction, since the slain foe’s family, House Greaves, will seek vengeance if the murder comes to light. Just when they think they’re in the clear, a ne'er-do-well vampire comes forth with photographic evidence of their transgression. Juggling their growing connection and a dwindling deadline, they must steal and destroy the images before they’re forcibly initiated into the blackmailer’s unruly clan—and a surprise guest from House Greaves has a front row seat to the “party.” Workplace love / friends to lovers / against the odds

COMPS & VIBES: In Nightfall by Suzanne Young (suspense & action, evil vampire gang), Spells for Lost Things by Jenna Evans Welch (eccentric setting in MA, heartwarming romance, generational family secrets), Buffy the Vampire Slayer (teen angst & sass, antics & mischief, early 00s nostalgia), Practical Magic (murder cover-up, magical mishaps)

MOODBOARD: image collage of a cobblestone Salem sidewalk with fall foliage, fanged mouth dripping blood, ouija planchette, sheet ghost chilling with sunglasses and a cat, white rose splattered with blood, a couple kissing on a dark snowy night, blue and green spellbooks, a blue neon bookstore sign, and a bedazzled flip phone next to a tube of lip gloss Bsky & Insta @maisiebannion / maisiebannion.com

An Editor's Guide To RIGHT WHERE YOU LEFT ME 80k Word Thriller Agent: Najla Mamou

PITCH When Sophie is brutally dumped, she begins dreaming of a life in the 1950s and hearing an unfamiliar voice in her head prodding her to seek revenge. As terrible accidents begin to befall those closest to her, she can't help but wonder: Is she possessed or just pissed?

From the time I was a child, I was taught to be agreeable. Kind. Quiet. Showing emotions other than gratitude or cheerfulness was frowned upon. It was as if the adults knew that if little girls tapped into the frustration, the seething anger, the screaming resentment burrowing deep in our little chests before we could even articulate the injustices, the leering eyes, the condescension, and the double-standards feeding the flames, we would become too powerful. So instead, they shamed us for our outbursts. Told us we were out of control. Hysterical. Crazy. Weak. In return, we learned to control our fires, even as the men around us punched walls and screamed, exerting their emotions like powerful weapons to wield. But those sparks in our chests were never fully extinguished, and for some of us, they were left smouldering unattended while dangerous, mischievous kindling, carelessly strewn about, smiled as it caught flame.
