Asking Voyage of the Damned characters to buy you pads A thread 🧵

Reading the slush pile these last few months has really helped me to understand a whole lot more about what makes a story "ready" to query. For the sake of others like me in the #AmQuerying #WritingCommunity, I wanted to do a thread on what I've learned so far.

@mformellaleigh Oh wonderful! I'll keep an eye out 😄

🌻Django Unchained meets The Handmaid’s Tales Three characters have to survive an unforgiving and unjust society, choosing whether to fight the system or uphold it. Featuring: 🌻A sapphic non-binary cowboy who will do everything to protect the ones she loves 🌻A young socialite with a silver tongue who likes power a bit too much 🌻An unhinged teenage girl thrown into a military academy who would do anything to make her way in life 🌻A cast of ensemble morally gray and queer characters #Pitdark #A #DS #LGBT

DONT LET THE FOREST IN + vampires After he's bitten by a vampire, Charlie must find a cure. But with his best friend hiding a dragon-shaped secret, and the vampire sire creating an army, Charlie realises he could use this power for good. Maybe. #PitDark #YA #FA #PN #LGBT

RICK RIORDAN - BUT VAMPIRES Trans teen Charlie just wants to be a footballer & prove his dad wrong. When he's bitten by a vampire, his sire won't leave him or his quiet mining village alone because Charlie...may well be the one, destined to destroy the world. #PitDark #YA #FA

HEART STOPPER - with more murder After being bitten by a vampire, Charlie feels strong in his own body for the first time. When he discovers his sire's plan to build a vampiric army, Charlie can risk his life to save his friends...or he can choose power. #PitDark #YA #DF #Trans

HEART STOPPER x HAMMER HORROR The vampire that turned shy trans teen Charlie is recruiting an army down the Northern British ley line and there are three hundred people in danger of becoming monstrous soldiers if Charlie can’t stop him first. #PitDark #YA #FA #PNH
