Here are all three of my #questpit posts in one.
Query conversation with my very supportive, but very clueless partner.
Him: I hope your book gets an agent soon
Me (knowing we have wildly different definitions of time): what is “soon” to you?
Him: a few weeks
Me: oh you sweet summer child
(I started querying four days ago 😂)
#amquerying
Swan Song, my sapphic Swan Lake and Cyrano de Bergerac reimagining, is giving absolute wreck.
It also features:
🔥Slow-burn romance
☕️ Tea leaf reading magic system
💌 Letters exlporing grief
🕰️ Time as the enemy
🔮Witches
🦢A monstrous swan curse
🥀Dark fairytale elements
These gaps always make me wonder: Did my wifi briefly shut off while submitting? Did the website break at the exact moment I submitted? Did the agent’s computer glitch? Did MY computer glitch?
I should probably just stop overthinking it 😂 #amquerying
I truly wish I could share everyone’s #questpit posts and that we all become published authors because every pitch sounds absolutely amazing 🤩 and I couldn’t be more excited, delighted, and honoured to be part of this #writingcommunity !
