She got her dream job & cute neighbor, John. But when she reports sexual harassment, her prestigious university turns against her, & her boss is hell-bent on revenge. John's secret could help her fight for justice or tear them apart. Forgiveness might heal it all. #PitMad #A #WF

@BookEndsJessica @EX_Tennyson No! They've been perfect. Your videos have made me excited to query, not dread it!

[Melanie Vallely @melanievallely]

@JennyFaith This one sounds so interesting!

[Lacey London @thelaceylondon]

Who else agrees with me?

WHISPER NETWORK (if they lost everything after their report)

After she reports her boss to her university employer, they sacrifice her to save their reputation. Will forgiveness give her the power to speak up for justice or will fear and hate keep her silent? #PitMad #A #CON #WF

[Sara DeVries @SDeVriesAuthor]

She's pregnant and her husband is dying. Now she must come to terms with an unimaginable reality. Tragedy looming, she forges a connection with the last person she'd expect, her husband's brother. Together, they may find their way to a new beginning. #PitMad #WF #A #Con

Elderly Donald likes to sit at the far side of the lake. But what draws him here: peace and quiet, the view, family memories or something altogether more sinister? Daughter, Alison is determined to find out.

Melissa quits her dead-end job, without having a new job to go to. Gemma the lifestyle blogger has a meltdown from the stress of posting original content. Kelly the singer/songwriter gets dumped by her GF. Will the 3 friends get their lives together in NYC? #PitMad #WF #A #CON

[Jerretta Baugher @jerrettahope]

Violet discovers her new visions are actually pleas for help from the dying Original Tree, and in its desperation has fused its fate to hers. Together with best friends, Crosby and Lincoln, the trio must piece together clues on how to save the tree before Violet dies.#PitMad #MG

And it's told in three POVs!

[Emily Barnett @embarnettauthor]

Anora’s village is run by a brutal tyrant. So when she discovers an injured dragon, she stands her ground. Dragon fire is deadly, but dragon wings may be her only escape. As they journey, a friendship grows. But love is always dangerous when a beast is involved. #YA #F #pitmad

[Melanie Vallely @melanievallely]

Emily and I have been on this writing journey together for nearly two years. I read the query and synopsis of this, and it sounds amazing!

[Emily Barnett @embarnettauthor]

BEAUTY AND THE BEAST X SERAPHINA

Orpheus is a cursed dragon: hated by men, killer of men. But will the kindness of a girl break him enough to break his curse? Can love quench the fire within his vengeful heart?

[Susan Reinhardt @SusanGReinhardt]

A woman can lose her entire career and be just fine. Even when plunging from celebrity to service worker after spewing her dirty laundry like a Baptist at altar call. All she has to do is trust a cringy one-night-stand and the magical old lady who shows up at her door. #Pitmad #A

[carolynstearns @carolynstearns]

James Herriot style, a boy and his donkey they were used to the verbal abuse and no names then he beat them. A hero’s journey to find safety, until boy collapses who have they met that will care #MG #HF #PitMad

[Emily Wilson @ecewr]

Charlotte’s teacher gave her an ultimatum. She would fail senior year if she wasn’t willing to suffer abuse. She wasn’t the only victim. 8 years after leaving high school, the familiar face returns which resurfaces her trauma and spirals the past into her present. #PitMad #NA

[Daryl Paranada @darylparanada]

When Marisol discovered a portal to a magical paradise, she never thought it'd cause harm. She just wanted to escape the hardships of poverty & being an immigrant's daughter. But people in paradise want to change her & she isn't the only who needs saving #PitMad #YA #CON #MR #OWN

[Debbie Ehresmann Och @dje_ochoa]

Running toward love, Savannah and Declan need to keep the past in the rearview while they hold fast to their faith in each other. Fate, the universe, whatever, has a agenda to derail them at every turn. The couple must stand hand in hand at any cost. #PitMad #A #R
