So many authors and writer can't actuallynail this one! We focus instead on tropes and general themes, but I need to know what makes your story unique if I'm going to invest my time into reading it 📖

Tell me below what you've written (published or unpublished) and I'll tell you if your pitch has snagged me ✒🍵✨

His name isn't Theo, but that's what he goes by right now. The threat comes from the fact that he's a con man who took on a dead man's identity, made people believe said man was alive, cashed out big insurances and settlements when said man's entire family died in an accident, and accidentally became a guardian to the man's orphaned nieces and nephews. It started off being about the money, but he's grown to care for the kids, and he's terrified that someone will find out his secret, take him to prison and the kids will be separated into different foster homes.

Azreal Garcica- the seventh vessel of justice: the heir to the entire world basically and welder of the strongest power in the world and yet he can’t control it well. He has no memory of his life before the events of the story and lives in a world that knows him without reciprocating the memory. Azreal wants to help others no matter what and if denied the things he wants he helps other achieve their goals if he can’t himself. Though seeming like a golden retriever this is just a 16 year old with innocence. They want to avoid the past, they are the reincarnation of the person who killed 80% of the world and struggles to contain the personality he inherited. He faces the threat of everyone wanting the vessel of justice and not him, while others want to bring out that other personality to their own gain. The cost of not succeeding is the end of humanity as we know it

Recent release: Haven is a princess of the kingdom of Rhea, who’s felt different all her life. It’s not just about physical attributes, but how she deeply feels and senses things. Her family thinks she’s “too much,” because they can’t understand or see things the way she does, but then an unexpected, unknown enemy attacks. She’s forced to find answers and a way to fight back, which leads to a whole adventure of uncovering secrets while facing a lot of introspection. If she doesn’t figure things out in time, she could lose her family and their kingdom, and their whole world would be overtaken. Current WIP: FMC Mirelle’s older sister passed away years ago, and her younger sister just got married. She finds herself tricked to stay on a 10-day cruise where she could finally get the relaxing vacation she’s yearned for after years of trying to live up to her parents’ expectations. MMC Caleb begged to be on the cruise in hope to finally have a break. But he didn’t realize relaxing would be harder than having a full to-do list. Both have to learn to be present and allow a love story to unfold or they stay stuck in pressuring perfectionist cycles, missing the “more” God has for them.

Chris is the protagonist, they want the truth and to fit in to the real world without sacrificing innocent lives or everyones futures. The cost of not succeeding is the same as succeeding regardless of the choice Chris makes the outcome will be the same the only difference is that he was given the free will to choose.

Her name is Louie! Witch princess from another dimension that’s been trapped in ours for nearly her whole life. At this point her main goal is to keep the gaggle of teens she’s watching over from being eaten by monsters from said dimension. Cost of her not succeeding? Well apart from the whole ‘teenagers getting eaten’ bit, she also might accidentally collapse the universe in on itself if she’s not careful. So there’s that 😂
