@ceciliaclyra Genre ?: Is upmarket romance a category?If a MS has a literary bent but the plot is driven by a romantic relationship (also w/ some speculative elements-think V. E.Schwab's The Invisible Life of Addie Larue X Robinne Lee’s The Idea of You) how best can I categorize it in a query?

EAT PRAY LOVE X LOVECRAFT
It's ok to travel after a breakup. It's ok to join a secretive island commune. It's ok to take part in their rituals. It's ok to become the vessel of an eldritch force set on tearing apart reality. Do what u need to do to heal x #pitmad #a #f #h #lgbt

[Skye Anicca @Skyeanicca]

What happens when women’s fears become their ghosts? A waitress is haunted by her stillborn nephew; a backpacker discovers a lost girl in a ghostly house; 4 sisters chase the dead dog to the town dump; an artist remakes herself a living specter. Stories. #PitMad #A #LF #MR #FTA

[T. L. Sherwood @TLSherwoodTheW1]

Small towns are great for lots of things, keeping secrets is not one of them. Tara has to go against school policy to be with Pete. Worse, she was all for that rule when it was written. It’s only a matter of time before their relationship is discovered, unless… #PitMad #Rom #A
