#GhostPit will be happening October 30, 2025!

Congrats everyone! I saw so many pitches that I can't wait to see as books. Everyone is really talented! I have enjoyed hanging out with you today. We will see you next year, same time, same day. I hope your Valentines was filled with love, that you hold onto love always, and share love with others.

Just a few hours left!

Karis is probably giving Sayana sapphire jewelry since he knows blue is her favorite color.

He’s probably stealing some jewelry for her (he’s definitely not buying it). In return, she’s threatening to arrest him unless he returns it THIS MINUTE.

she forgot so she's going last minute to the bookstore

She is 17 lives in Victorian times. Maybe a poem.

Backstage passes to their favorite band.

There is a canonical answer to this! I think it's pretty sweet especially considering Alan is semi-allergic to sentimentality and also pretty skeptical about whether Valentines is a real holiday or not...

Gina will send Cian a book about a ghost prince, since everyone loves the book in the small town.😁

"Rotten Luck, Romance & Other Perils of Writing" - Anne and Nate are in the friend zone as Anne needs to get her head straightened out with therapy before starting any romance with Nate. In the second book of the duopoly - "Murder, Marriage & Other Perils of Mothers" - framed sonogram pic. #Cupit

Happy Valentines Day and welcome to #Cupit the pitch hype event for all things Romance. Be sure to check out the rules and hashtag list. If your book involves valentines in it mark it with 💘. Don't forget you can also mark it with 📚💙 for #booksky. Good luck and have fun! 💝🥰

We are a little over 2 1/2 hours out! 🥰💘

She creates a Spotify playlist for him full of their shared guilty pleasures—like “No Sleep Till Brooklyn” by the Beastie Boys and “Fantasy” by Mariah Carey. It’s a mix only they’d get. And, naturally, plenty of Mr. Goodbar to go along with it. #cupit #romance #writersky

If my mmc is anything like his father when it comes to romance, he'll likely design some jewelry for the fmc and have it made. Like "Still waters run deep" mmc feelings for fmc are deep & catch him by surprise. :-)

Larkin is sending nothing cuz she still insists her & Apollo are NOT dating. Apollo… would go overboard despite not loving that the holiday focuses so much on Eros (or Cupid). At least, they tend to depict Eros as a cherub for Valentine’s Day 😏 Characters from ✨A Greek God Got Me Pregnant✨ #cupit

Mick is pointedly pretending he isn't in love, so probably nothing. But if he ever admits he likes someone, he is also a) broke, b) a musician, c) a little cringe, so most likely, somebody's getting flowers and a song. Eleanor is rich and romantic, so somebody's getting wined and dined af. #cupit

WIP1: Eddie would probably get him either something for his motorcycle or something guitar-related WIP2: Luke would go classic, roses and chocolates, and he’d get a build-a-bear that looks like himself for Jamie to hug when he’s alone

Zyeil: a desiccated heart of a magical creature. Kyrie: candy, a coupon for a massage, and an invitation to a candlelit dinner. Hadrian: he'd just show up and throw you over his shoulder, with consent. (Writing a MMFM romance with three grumpy mages and a plus-sized faerie.)

Aw Saffron would take pictures of every flower she came across and put them in a book as a gift probably

Mahira: buys concert tickets for Valentino anytime they’re travelling around the world 🫶 Safiya: loves trying out new restaurants around the world with Alejandro 🫶

Ari: Handmade jewelry, flowers from their garden, special dinner and favorite treat Cy: New invention tools, new books, his company

Jason wanted to buy Alex a new watch, for Valentine’s Day, but then he saw the cost. 😢 “What do you get a billionaire who has everything?” Jason slumped in the corner. He needed help. “Any suggestions?” he asked his #writingcommunity (P.S. Alex will tell you his answer tomorrow during #Cupit 😊)

#Cupit My protagonist would be sending out hand painted kindness rocks to the kids she works with at the preschool. ❤️

MMC Oz is making you dinner AND he’ll clean up the kitchen afterwards. He has a new self defense move he wants to show you later to keep you safe. It might also be an excuse to wrap you up and pin you down in his ridiculously toned arms. 🥵

FMC Eleanor will do your taxes for you. She also bought a copy of a spicy romance from her favorite indie bookstore. She’ll pass it across the table over dinner, and she’s bookmarked the scenes she wants to act out with you later 😈

Eleanor’s BFFs Mischa and Sylvia (being unhinged and feral in the best possible way) snuck over to leave a box of ✨toys✨ on Eleanor’s front porch. Also a QR code that links to a playlist full of Richard Marx and Boyz II Men. 😘

Captain Amir: Two hearts to break her sea witch lover’s curse 🫀🫀 Princess Mira: A message in a bottle (NOT pre-screened by the Queen) John: A conch shell. If his crush hears the ocean, it means true love is in the sails. If she hears the voice of a vengeful pirate ghost instead… 😅 #Cupit #TPTPAJ

Valentino: any hardcover edition of Mahira’s favourite romance books 🫶 Alejandro: plane tickets to any of Safiya’s bucket list travel destinations 🫶

Maya - apples and flowers because apples and both flowers are a sign of romance in Sorlem Alaria - flowers and food because she likes taking care of people & Persephone is her bf Charlee - a benitoite gemstone that's sacred to her people King Adam - a picnic in the garden with fresh cut flowers

What is your main character sending for a Valentines day gift? (Keep it in the rules of bluesky.)
