I’m pitching MG!

You’re right! I’m excited to work on this

A moodboard for my current WIP. Contains nine pictures. (Top row, right to left) Picture 1: A picture of outer space. Picture 2: A picture of spaceship controls. Picture 3: A picture of a planet. (Middle row, right to left) Picture 1: A picture of a sign with the words "The truth is out there" Picture 2: A picture of aliens staring at the 'camera' in a dark forest. Picture 3: A picture of a dark area with trees in the distance. A ray of light is being shone down in the center like a spiral (Bottom row, right to left) Picture 1: A yellow sign with an alien silhouette Picture 2: A sign that says "parking for aliens only" in bright green with a picture of an alien. Picture 3: A black and white picture of a spaceship.

Day 6-Next Project

My current wip is another middle grade story. Instead of fantasy, I'm challenging myself with sci-fi this time around. Right now, it can best be described as the wackiness of RICK & MORTY meets the strong friendships and found family of DANDADAN.

I will! Good luck to us both🤞🏿

I love this!

Your taste is immaculate 🤩

Day 5-Song/Playlist

Here are a few songs that came to mind when writing MMTSP. Some of them relate to Maeve herself, while others encompass the story as a whole. I have a Spotify playlist, but that's a little too chaotic to post right now.

Thank you!

It’s complicated…

Thank you! Dante was a distant inspiration

Thank you!

I’m always happy to see a hijabi main character! Safa seems interesting!

I’m interested in their dynamic!

That would be a DREAM! I love graphic novels but my drawing skills are sadly nonexistent. Thanks for the support!

I’ll consider it! My query letter def covers it in more depth, it just wasn’t something I could articulate well in the 300 character pitch for DVpit. There were other aspects I wanted to focus on

Thank you! Yea, the relationship Maeve has with Pride is a bit tricky. I couldn’t reveal too much about that without spoiling key parts of the story.

Thank you!

Art by uncomfortcharacter on IG

A 13-year-old Black girl with light blue hair styled into cornrows. She has multiple piercings on each ear, including two dangling crescent moons. She has a mole under her eye. Her uniform is lilac and gold. A buttoned up lilac jacket, a gold vest with purple lining, a gold tie, and a plaid, purple skirt. She has a slight gap between her two front teeth. She holds a large gold sword that's around the same size as her. She wears white tights, with black shoes.

Day 2-Introduce Your Main Character

As the only descendant of Pride at Marwood Academy, Maeve feels as if a lot to prove-which often gets her into trouble. She can hold a grudge and has a hard time letting things go. Her ego is huge, but she has a heart of gold to match it.

I love a good amnesia plotline!
