Risk-averse, grumpy romantic Jaliyah Evans wants to live on her own terms. When she meets her sunshiny TikTok influencer crush Damon Zhao in person, sparks fly & long-distance “friendship” begins. Is love worth the risk when it's 1K miles away? #PitBLK #A #CR #R #RC #LGBT #IRMC

CHOLE BROWN X HOW TO FAIL AT FLIRTING

Iris has avoided love as an unnecessary distraction, but when a cute diver at the aquarium draws a heart on the glass, her heart skips a beat. She has to overcome her previous notions about love or lose the love of her life.

Day 2 of #PitBLK shall now commence! Today features pitches from Black authors of adult fiction/non-fiction, graphic novels and art. In other words... it's grown folks' day. So let's get it!

[Stacy Boyd @Stacy_Boyd]

Tomorrow's the day! Very excited to read through the adult romance fiction pitches during Thursday's #pitBLK.

[PitBLK @_Pitch_Blaque]

Alright y'all... we are in the home stretch for our first ever #PitBLK pitch event and it's getting REAL! So naturally, we have a countdown - cue Beyoncé 🎶- where we'll be sharing our event rules and opening up space here to answer any questions!!

[Femme Trash @Femme_Trash]

Let's just say y'all better keep your eyes on category romance because we have some stuff cooking and our restaurants are very good at spice ratings 👀 (also b is so smart, love this thread)

[Stacy Boyd @Stacy_Boyd]

@ShanaGray_ It will be different from Blaze. Grounded in the every day, with strong character journeys in each story.

@JJennings_Books Send it on over to our new inbox. 😊 https://t.co/r4LQt1FTZq

[Stacy Boyd @Stacy_Boyd]

@JJennings_Books Sounds so juicy and dramatic!! We're looking for one of the MCs (or both) to be an 'everyday' kind of character (rather than from a wealthy background). Any interest in tweaking this idea, or pitching another?

[Stacy Boyd @Stacy_Boyd]

@jbrysonwrites This makes me wish I was acquiring more than contemporary romance... Sounds so intriguing!

[Stacy Boyd @Stacy_Boyd]

I'll be watching #DVpit today, looking for fun, fresh, sexy contemporary romance. If you see a like from me, please submit your first three chapters and synopsis here https://t.co/prbnMIeea5 Choose Harlequin Desire, even if the word count is different than the guidelines.
