A little sneak peek at what I’m working on for my book 🥀

With Tillie Cole’s new book coming out soon it is wild to me that she is still being published How can you write a literal K(times 3) romance with a POC female main character and continue to have a career as an author? And the fact that her agent didn’t immediately drop her is such a red flag

Does anyone know which agents are participating in #bluepit today?

Would you read a book about a poisonous girl, a haunted estate, and the man who loves her so much he forgets who he is? Rappaccini’s Daughter meets Crimson Peak, with blood-fed roses and a slow descent into madness. #bluepit📖 #Q #NA #H #R

CRIMSON PEAK X RAPPACCINI’S DAUGHTER Gothic horror. Ghosts in the walls. A poisonous girl in the garden. A love that might kill him. A POISON SO DIVINE is about a boy who thinks he can save her… But is he her savior or is she his destruction? #PlaylistPitch #A #Horror #horrorromance #amquerying

If you like… ✨ …slow burn tension 👻 …haunted romance 💀 …characters falling apart for each other …then you will love my CRIMSON PEAK X RAPPACCINI’S DAUGHTER horror romance #writerpitch #storypitch #amquerying

Three pictures that perfectly match the vibes of my CRIMSON PEAK X RAPPACCINI’S DAUGHTER horror romance book about a remote estate steeped in death and decay, where the new stablehand falls for the master’s daughter—a spectral girl whose touch burns like poison, and whose love might destroy him.

Would you read a horror novel about a stablehand who thinks he’s been sent to tend horses at a haunting estate— —until he’s drawn to the master’s daughter, a spectral girl whose touch sears like poison and leaves rot in its wake— —and then learns her love will be the last thing he ever feels?

My CRIMSON PEAK X RAPPACCINI’S DAUGHTER project is completely consuming me and I’m having the best time

Omg I need all the good querying vibes today 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻 please and thank you!! #amquerying #querytrenches

I think about smooth criminal from glee at least once a day #biawakening

I have full requests out the world right now and I swear my blood pressure has never been higher

How about, instead of multiple special editions of current popular books, special editions of books that got us into reading? I’d kill for a special edition of Matched or Beastly or Gallagher Girls or Red Riding Hood

I have two writing habits Either I’m at my desk with my blue light blocking glasses and my 40oz water bottle Or I’m hunched over in my bed in complete darkness like a gremlin

I somehow cranked out about 30K words in the last week 😳

Using my 100th post to promote my BABEL X DIVINE RIVALS X Scottish mythology book in the hopes an agent or editor will see this and just desperately want to get their hands on my book #amquerying #darkacademia #writerpitch #storypitch

This is for anyone who needs a reminder that most of the time it isn't you. A lot of querying comes down to right person, right time, right place. So don't discredit yourself every time a rejection comes rolling it. #amquerying

People who don't drink tea wil never understand the pleasure of realising you've just made a really good cup of it.

Nothing beats the joy of finding a picture on Pinterest that so fits the vibe of your book Currently querying my BABEL X DIVINE RIVASL X Scottish mythology book and I’m obsessed with this #amquerying #writerpitch #storypitch

There is an agent who is currently closed to queries but reopens on May 1st and I am quite literally counting down the days like it’s Christmas because I feel like we would be such a good fit

$5,000 wouldn’t even make a dent in the medical bills we’re still paying off from my two-year-old’s stint in the NICU when he was born

I feel like I’m pulling teeth with coming up with more comp titles for my WIP so if you have any gothic horror romance suggestions with a bit of magical realism lmk (Mexican Gothic is my No.1 comp title so far if that helps)

Introducing my gothic WIP CRIMSON PEAK X RAPPACCINI’S DAUGHTER #storypitch #writerpitch

BABEL X DIVINE RIVALS X Scottish mythology I totally understand why it’s called the “trenches” #amquerying

Part of me is considering rejoining X for the pitching events and to connect with agents and other authors, but another part of me doesn’t want to be connected to or support Elon in any way, shape, or form

Does anyone else feel that with every day spent in the query trenches, their confidence in their book diminishes? And I’m not saying that in a self-pitying way, but you go into it feeling so bright eyed and excited, and now it feels like I’m dragging myself through tar

BABEL X DIVINE RIVALS X Scottish folklore She got into the best university in the kingdom. They didn’t want her there but she’s thriving anyway. She’s not the chosen one. She’s the one who stayed up late reading and accidentally uncovered a dangerous secret. #writerpitch #storypitch #amquerying

I think I’m on a lot of “maybe” piles and it sucks there’s nothing really you can do to get out of them and get a full request. Just let me talk your ear off and convince you why my book is worth it 🙏🏻

I have the most mind blowing idea for Mamma Mia 3 and I’m just really hoping the writers see this and hire me on the spot

I am actually beginning to think I might have an unhealthy addiction to MSWL and QueryTracker

BABEL X DIVINE RIVALS X Scottish folklore Three ancient goddesses with sibling drama, feminine rage disguised as scholarly ambition, two rivals with tension that could qualify as arson, a pansexual mmc in dark wool, and a soft fmc who loves poetry and chooses her own path What more could you want?

BABEL X DIVINE RIVALS X Scottish folklore ft… 🧝🏽‍♀️ …fallen goddesses 😩 …so much yearning 🤍 …soft fmc x cynical mmc #writerpitch #storypitch #amquerying

I’m always hearing things like “if you think querying is rough then just wait until you’re on submission” and this wait is bad enough, I don’t know how I’m surviving if I ever get my book on submission

My love for my next project is really keeping me going in the query trenches. If I get no interest in the book I’m currently querying, I wouldn’t be sad to have to query the one I’m currently writing.

BABEL X DIVINE RIVALS X Scottish mythology A woman defies the odds to become a scholar in a kingdom determined to keep her in her place, only to find herself in a tense rivalry as she tries to unravel the secrets hidden in long-forgotten myths #PosterPit #PosterPitQ #F #R #NA
