In honor of writing nearly 19 pages today, and 18 yesterday, I'm sharing my updated #Agentsguide for my YA dark fantasy retelling, To Best the Beast!

You've had Aelin x Rowen. You've had Feyre x Rhys. Now: meet Belvina and Mastin. The world will never be the same. * Dark fantasy retelling * Young Adult - - > New Adult * Romantasy (he DEFINITELY fell first) * Love beneath her station/verging on enemies to lovers #Questpit

You've had Aelin x Rowen. You've had Feyre x Rhys. Now: meet Belvina and Mastin. The world will never be the same. * Dark fantasy retelling * Young Adult - - > New Adult * Romantasy (he DEFINITELY fell first) * Love beneath her station/verging on enemies to lovers #Questpit

💃🏽She’s a cruel-tongued rich girl, skilled at hunting, but the only hunting she does these days is for the next boy to stave off her boredom. 🕺🏻He’s a lowly woodcutter, employed to her family—and madly in love with her. 👫 Together? You’ll have to read to find out! #Questpit

Belvina's a 10 but . . . she's also a Tate McRae song lyric: " . . . I would want myself, baby, please believe me I'll put you through hell just to know me, yeah, yeah So sure of yourself, baby, don't get greedy That shit won't end well, no, it won't end well" #Questpit #F #YA

The story of To Best the Beast told only in GIFs! 🤣 In this dark fairytale retelling, Belvina won't stop until the beast is mounted on her wall. Or better yet, made into a new winter coat . . . #Questpit

Mastin knows better than to get involved with Belvina. Then again . . . #Questpit #ToBestTheBeast

I always wonder after pitch events, if no agents like it, does that mean the pitch is lacking, my guide, the story itself, the snippet . . . or do agents just not see it? I know we shouldn’t focus on these things but. But.

This blue checkmark is utterly worthless.

Hi all, I've done a bit of rebranding. To Best the Beast is now New Adult, not YA. So, any #Litagents looking for a spicy, dark retelling of Beauty & the Beast meets Red Riding Hood, in which Belvina and her faithful woodcutter, Mastin hunt the Beast, you won't want to miss this!

On this 11/11, I’m manifesting agent interest on my spicy New Adult dark fairytale retelling, To Best the Beast!

Not only did it snow today, but the northern lights came out over my house! (Pictures didn’t come out great; I was shivering too hard!)

Oh, Aelin

A scene from today's chapter . . . Did I mention today how much I love them??? #Litagents looking for spice, look no further!

The writer / / the WIP

I will get an agent

A new snippet from Chapter Sixteen of my current WIP, To Best the Beast, which will enter the querying trenches in the new year (or sooner)!
