A collage of figs, a mule on a dirt road, a goddess in a river, and sand, with the text "AGENT'S GUIDE, THE UNMAKING OF A MUSE, 109,000 words, Adult Romantasy"

A collage of figs, a mule on a dirt road, a goddess in a river, and sand, with the text "AGENT'S GUIDE, THE UNMAKING OF A MUSE, 109,000 words, Adult Romantasy"

A background of sand with an illustration of a mesopotamian goddess and a lion, with the text: "THE UNMAKING OF A MUSE, Roman Holiday x Midsommar in ancient Babylon. Lali, a spoiled muse, persuades an innocent butcher to help her take down a human cult that's blocking her muse magic and brainwashing her sister into giving up eternal life — but when Lali starts falling for the earth-born butcher, it’s the first sign she's been brainwashed."

Sand as a background with mesopotamian illustrations and text that says: "FIRST LINES, It’s tedious work, trying to inspire genius in mortals. It always has been. Even decades ago, long before this recent sun cycle, when they began to resist the muses’ influence."

A background of sand, with images of books overlayed - Daughter of the Moon Goddess by Sue Lynn Tan, Circe by Madeline Miller, Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor, and A Sorceress Comes to Call by T. Kingfisher, with the text "Comp Titles" above them and cuneiform letters below.

Agent's guide to CURSED BLESSINGS 97,000 word Adult Fantasy

Pitch: When a woman with a powerful Blessing of persuasion finds herself at the mercy of a corrupt politician, she finds connection in the most unexpected place: a vengeful woman from the enemy country. As they find themselves caught up in the schemings of those who'd use their gifts for evil, they are the only ones who can prevent a centuries-old tension from finally boiling over.

Next to the list of tropes is a panel of five pictures containing: two horseback riders on a beach, a dragon shadowed in mist, a black cat sitting on a tree branch, a cobblestone alley surrounded by ivy, a picture of redwoods looking up with the sun peaking through branches

Perenne's rigged elections and patriarchal religion have only led to hate.

Solterna's oligarchy has only led to oppression.

It's time for two lesbians from the enemy countries to get their hands dirty in geopolitics.

Luxia is a fatepainter—a lesser goddess with the power to alter human fate. When her godly scheming results in a political disaster for humankind, her immortal masters banish her to the human realm with one demand: Destroy the court of a handsome enemy prince.

A graphic which reads: An agent’s guide to RETURN THE SKY, Adult Fantasy, 112,000 words. PITCH: Assistant natural historian Heidi ventures into the cursed forest for her thesis. She expected danger. She didn’t expect to fall in love with a strange rogue who presents her with a choice - help them and start a war between the forest and her home, or betray them and keep her family safe.

Tropes and themes include dark academia, non-binary love interest, yearning, cozy fantasy (with teeth), slow burn, forced proximity, hidden histories and secrets, eventual happy ending, queernormative world, and dark forests.
