ROAD OUT OF WINTER x "BRUTAL" In climate-changed, flooded Vermont, time is crowded. By age 17, if your life resembles someone else's too closely, you die. When Layla is deemed a Repeater, she can accept death - or unmask where the myth ends and reality begins #YA #PitDark #T #DS

@StorySorcery lol my brain autofilled Liam ____ to Liam Neeson and I was like hmm okay

It would've made more sense to do a timejump, pick an older actor for Geralt, and focus on later adventures.

Science. Is. For. EVERYBODY! #cartoon #academia #science

@Anna_Wenner ANNA!!! Does this mean what I think it means 👀

color-coding queries related to pitdark in my spreadsheet a Halloween shade of orange as a little treat, just for me

@SofieSybella @JasminLacoste thank you!! I definitely dream of it becoming a movie lmao

@HMSNotABoat @JasminLacoste This sounds like a movie I’d totally watch! (Or a book I’d read)

"Brutal" x ROAD OUT OF WINTER In climate-changed, flooded Vermont, time is crowded. By age 17, if your life resembles someone else's too closely, you die. When Layla is deemed a Repeater, she can accept death - or unmask where the myth ends and reality begins #YA #PitDark #T #DS

@lw_writes not Dr. Seb discovering the undead and being like "oh no how do I take care of them🥲"

Dead people don't blink. Dead people DO decompose, so when Dr Seb ends up with 2 reanimated corpses in his apartment he's worried about the future. What can he do other than hide them and hope for the best? CORPSE BRIDE X FRANKENSTEIN #PitDark #LGBT #A #SF

THE RIVER HAS TEETH x SURRENDER YOUR SONS Diverge, or die. In Layla's flooded town, the church decides who is unique enough to live past age 17. When Layla is condemned, she seeks out the church's deity - only to find something human pulling the strings. #PitDark #DS #T #YA

@endewriting 😭omg thank you! That means so much to hear

@HMSNotABoat this pitch is tormenting me genuinely because every time I see it I CANNOT BELIEVE I cant read it yet

@MarshmallowBard I love these pitches because I'm imagining getting them as like text alerts meanwhile something SINISTER is happening in the background

@maggieme0w there's a shortage?? nooo but it's fun flavored creamer season 😭

ROAD OUT OF WINTER x SURRENDER YOUR SONS Stuck between a monstrous god and the cult that serves him, Layla flees to the sea-choked swamps. There, she discovers secrets of her town's rewritten history - but the truth might kill her before she can tell it. #PitDark #T #LGBT #ND #YA

CIRCE x PIRANESI Ros was a towering oak—until she aids an immortal priest on a quest to break temple chains keeping him alive If they destroy the temple they'll unleash a horde of killer angels—but if they don't, the temple will enslave her son #PitDark #Fa #A #LF #DF #MH #OWN

@alecdshane Hi Alec! If you liked a pitch but we have a query out with one of your colleagues, what's the best way to proceed? Thanks!

If I like your #PitDark pitch, query and first chapter please

Butterfall is just like any other small Vermont town. We have: ⛪️a church with your best interests at heart (trust us!) 📜an exam that determines your future (if you pass, you get to live!) You can't leave... but we promise it's worse out there than it is in here. #PitDark #T #YA

@MadelynKnecht a haunted mine?? I'm hooked

QUEER CORALINE 13yo Lore wanted: a fun summer vacation Lore got: a creepy town w an abandoned (haunted?) mine & two lying friends When kids start disappearing into the mine, Lore must untangle the web of dark history of the town before it takes her next #pitdark #MG #CF #LGBT

BFU UNSOLVED x FEAR STREET Years ago Camp Evergreen closed thx to rumors of a bloodthirsty lake beast. Now 18, free-spirit Flick & BFFs return to the suddenly revived camp. Flick will do ANYTHING for 1 last summer w/her friends Careful what you wish for #PITDARK #LGBT #F #YA #M
