I have slightly more detailed pitches but then I don't have room for comps so I'll post the ones w/comps and see what people think! My story doesn't fit for PitDark so I'll be doing another PitMad. Since the r/relationship style one got me an agent like, it's back this round.
VELOCITY WEAPON + CHILLING EFFECT
I'm (31F) the deaf co-captain of a smuggling ship. My partner (30M) and I want to retire & start a family, but having trouble #TTC. Do we put our dreams on hold & convince our friends to fight colonizing aliens? #PitMad #A #SF
STARS UNCHARTED + VELOCITY WEAPON
Smugglers Mary & Davi plan to retire & start a family. But they'll need to put those dreams on hold to rally a resistance against colonizing aliens – or there won't be a free place to raise a child. #PitMad #A #SF #Infertility #Deaf
CHILLING EFFECT + CRUEL STARS
Just a few more smuggling jobs until Mary & Davi can retire and start #IVF. But colonizing aliens force a choice between putting that dream on hold to fight back or not having a free universe to raise a child in. #PitMad #A #SF #Deaf
Please don’t take this as insensitive. Are you deaf? If so, add the hashtag #own to indicate that. Like it or not, that matters in the current publishing environment.
i like the reddit post idea, and I think your comps are great. This would be good for SFFpit as well, when that comes back, because often Brit Hvide shows up there and indicates books she likes. You can’t submit to her, but since she’s an editor at orbit you can use it as you query agents. She happens to have edited Velocity Weapon.
