to agents still searching through #questpit, if you're a fan of chosen heroines burdened by guilt, yearning princes torn between duty and desire and world-shattering betrayals, my YA Fantasy (with Big Five editor interest) may be for you! ⚔️🥀 #amquerying #YA #F

loving the love on #questpit, but now that my pitches are all up, does anyone have advice for sifting through the likes/reposts on their posts for industry interest (here and on x)? this is starkly different from DvPit and I'm a little overwhelmed 😭

*BIG FIVE EDITOR INTEREST* REALM BREAKER x ATLA x HEIR Amidst a tyrant’s reemerging rule, budding love and forbidden romance merge with betrayal to forge a warrior blinded by rage and a fallen prince burdened by grief who'll lead the world to victory or ruin. #Q #YA #F #questpit

*BIG FIVE EDITOR INTEREST* An heir saddled by indecision & his sister with a hardened heart have always had a strained relationship, but as echoes of the last war to be fought morph into a battle cry, their differing stances risk severing their bond for good. #Q #YA #F #questpit

*BIG FIVE EDITOR INTEREST* When a heroic ancestry and truths of an old war surface, a guilt-stricken girl races to free her imprisoned friend and subdue a radical foe while a hesitant prince debates whether remaining loyal to the crown is worth the moral turmoil. #Q #YA #F #questpit

REALM BREAKER x ATLA x HEIR Guilt is Cindren's anchor as much as it's her jailer, but her golden eyes speak of ancestry whispered amongst the forsaken. Something once slumbering has emerged within her, painting her destiny as dark as the cloak she was born to wear. #Q #YA #F #questpit

completely forgot about #questpit until an hour ago, but I threw some things together and I'll be participating here and on x!! #querying #YA #F

spent an entire day planning and creating instagram posts for the next few weeks on canva and I had the best time got so engrossed to the point that I had to force myself to step away 💀 #YA #F #writersky #querying

another day, another book idea to preoccupy the space of priority my four other WIPs should be 🌝 #writersky #querying

in other news, I started a substack (aka another place for me to ramble) ✍🏿 #substack #querying #writing #YA #F

in two weeks, i'll have been querying for a month but it feels like i just started sending them out two days ago. it helps that i have classes to distract and keep me busy, but the impatience of awaiting responses still lingers even with it being so early on 😭 #amquerying #YA #F #writersky

for anyone in the industry still looking through #DVpit if you like fierce, chosen heroines with brewing power, cruel monarchs, forbidden romance and budding love, my project may be for you!! 🫶🏿 *BIG FIVE EDITOR INTEREST*

*BIG FIVE EDITOR INTEREST* the #agentguide for the dual-pov YA Fantasy (109k) I'm currently querying! 📖 AWAKENING is a story on the effects of guilt, the consequences of betrayal and the summons of destiny 🗡️🥀 REALM BREAKER x ATLA x HEIR #YA #F #querying #agentsguide #BVM #writing #litagents

ended off my first #DVpit with 3 interested parties!! (saw an editor repost that left me completely STUNNED after an exam and i almost keeled right over 😭) so, so grateful for this opportunity and the support i received 🫶🏿

REALM BREAKER x ATLA x HEIR Cindren and Kasiel have always been close, his presence one of the few comforts that persisted after her parents were executed. But as they journey in the direction of fate's twisted strings, an ember of growing affection is given welcome fuel. #DVpit #YA #F #BVM

REALM BREAKER x ATLA x HEIR A prince should know better than being guided by his own heart, but the stirring of longing that emerges in Nazar forces him to walk the thin line of desire and treachery for the girl that's distraction and necessity both: Vris, his personal sentry. #DVpit #YA #F #BVM

REALM BREAKER x ATLA x HEIR A century's old war threatens to reemerge and the descendants of those that subdued the threat have risen once more. But with a monarchy's army on their heels and betrayal within their midst, accomplishing what their ancestors had may be forlorn. #DVpit #YA #F #BVM

REALM BREAKER x ATLA x HEIR When the histories he'd been taught begin to crumble beneath truth, Nazar, torn between loyalty to a cruel creed upheld by his family and what he knows is just, is forced to contend with a difficult question: am I willing to watch the world burn? #DVpit #YA #F #BVM

REALM BREAKER x ATLA x HEIR When once thought mythical saviors stir the heroic ancestry in her blood, golden-eyed Cindren must race against time to rescue her imprisoned friend while running from a traitor to the ancient line of warriors she finds herself apart of. #DVpit #YA #F #BVM

REALM BREAKER x ATLA x HEIR An heir saddled with indecision and his sister with a hardened heart harbor a tumultuous relationship, but as echoes of the last war to be fought evolve into a battle cry with a rising threat, their differing stances risk severing their bond for good. #DVpit #YA #F #BVM

REALM BREAKER x ATLA x HEIR Cindren's eyes morphed from dark brown to honey before the gilded color of gold that speaks of stories whispered amongst the forsaken. Something once slumbering has emerged within her, painting her destiny as dark as the cloak she was born to wear. #DVpit #YA #F #BVM

started querying yesterday and got my first rejection within five hours so we’re building that tough skin early on 🙂‍↕️ #amquerying #YA #Fantasy

two days late on this but i pitched for the very first time (very scary but so so exciting; somehow, imposter syndrome has arrived and this is barely a brush against the tip of the iceberg 😭) #YA #F #PitBlk

draft 2 is doneee (so ready to query, but one more round of revisions before then 🫠)

i didn't believe it when people said the query might be harder to write than the book but i am a convert because i'm on draft 13 and i think this is as good as it's gonna get 💀 #writing #authorsky #fantasybook #writersky

almost done with draft 2 and I'm feeling great about ittttt querying in December hopefully 🙏
