Thank you! <3

Love this premise!

Image is a cover illustration of a dragon's head with lightning in its mouth, a ghost boy, and a blue-haired girl hiding. They are in a cabin, and the girl is mixing something golden with a mortar and pestle.

Thank you so much, Rajani!

Thank you! I'm hopeful <3

Thank you!

Love the stakes!

The hardest part of dvpit is resisting the urge to like all the cool pitches, haha!

Also, please, don't like my pitches if you're not an agent/publisher, it gives me false hope. 😅

Thanks for the vote of confidence <3

Tamar agrees to be sacrificed to the desert in order to save her people from shadowy Sheydim, but is captured & brought to a lush city. If she doesn't uncover its mysteries, her fate may end in the bloodshed she tried to avoid.

Romanian folklore, Jewish+Korean writers, Witcher inspo

A magical thief on a broom crashes into a ghost boy's shack. He can turn her in or help her escape. W/ his body's zombie in her magic hat, he escapes to an adventure returning twice-stolen goods to their original owners.

Blood Quantum is Racist Except for Jews This poem is inspired by the onslaught of antisemitic racists who think Jews are from Poland, and particularly all the people who see Ashkenazi Jews as “fake Jews” and leave hate commen…

A poem to racists who think pale skin means I can't have #MENA roots, +receipts.

10/6/23, I was half #Ashkenazi #Jewish

Religion, race, ethnicity, culture is a knot
A knot is 100% string
There is no such thing
As half a #Jew.

Not today.

THE UNCOLLECTORS AND THE BLUE TOMBSTONE

MG Fantasy Adventure, Romanian folklore inspired secondary world, with Jewish and Korean immigrant coded MCs.

(The manuscript has 0 swearing, though does use the word 'goblin' as a derogatory slur, lol)

(I literally made this as research for this book!)

Amalena’s Crowned Seven-Species Dessert You can call this either Amalena’s crowned seven-species or Amalena’s crowned shivat ha’minim, or something else completely, I just figured it needed a name! This was an experimen…

Thanks! If you want a recipe that uses all of them combined, I can help you out there! 😊

Love this, proof words are art

the only way that things are going to get better in regards to discrimination against trans people is if we give trans people more power

Ikr? 😁

Gotta love reckless fairies! <3

You're so kind, thank you!

Thank you! <3

The name of the book does start with *sacrifices*, so that might be a clue 😁😈

Awesome line!

Thanks, and same! Dates, date syrup, date pastries. 🥰

Makes me think of black and white movies... until the wings twist!
