ok -I just got fed up and dropped my fourth pitch so I can wander off and do other things and not worry about forgetting to come back. BlueSky really needs to get scheduled posts into the mix.

Mock-up book cover for The Curse of the Fart Witch by Rae Law. Tag line "Something Wicked This Way Smells". An evening street with lit up houses, green gas coiling upwards, there are a number of oversized alien-looking spiders (about the size of dogs - sentient barking spiders) throughout the image. Flags: Reluctant hero, sibling redemption, spooky humour (cinematic, not silly), kids vs supernatural threat, sentient minions, Goonies style ensemble cast.

An excerpt from a sentient Barking Spider's journal - the spider is British gentry and pompously complains about the witch's promise of exquisite stink not being fulfilled and how the locals have spritzed him with a rosemary-mint abomination.

Secretly planning to ditch my family for most of the day to read all the quest pitches, chat with existing twitter-friends, and meet new ones along the way.

I love pitch events - the best of the writing community comes out to support each other.

This sounds great!

Moodboard of four images, all of which comes from various paintings by Alphonse Mucha: Left: Salon des Cent. A woman conceals her mouth with a hand, her index finger curled down. She's glaring intensely at the viewer. Middle top: The Moon. A woman wearing nothing but a navy blanket covered in stars stands against a backdrop consisting of the night sky and a crescent moon. She covers her smile with one hand. Middle bottom: Emerald. A serpent snarls at the viewer from amidst green lilies. Right: Poster for the 6th Sokol Festival. A woman in red, wearing a crown, sits as she clutches flower rings in her right hand and up her right arm. A ghostly, green image of a woman glares behind her.

Woohoo it’s BluePit day!

Yup! All good here with my stroppy tweens & little publishing company (@dapplegreypress). And work. No rest for the weary.

Unboxing Treasure Island! A faithful retelling by Sylvie Thornecroft - reading age 8-9, but keeps the gritty adventure.

Ready for your Year 7s!

#BluePitHype Day 2!

The Curse of the Fart Witch - my pinned skeet...delighted to have some artwork for this season of pitch events.

#BluePitHype Day 1 - Introductions
Hi! I'm Rae - I write where the mood takes me, whether it's MG/YA, or gothic horror for adults. I'm pitching MG-F/A "The Curse of Fart Witch" this season.

I also own @dapplegreypress.bsky.social which specialises in #dyslexiafriendly books.

Ramping up for pitch season - I'm focussing exclusively on my MG Fantasy-Adventure, The Curse of the Fart Witch. #agentguide #MG #F #A #Q #AmQuerying

The barking spiders are now characters (like Gremlins/Minions). Let me introduce you to Lord Farnsworth, Esq., the pompous toff.

Ok - here’s an odd one. What famous/popular/blockbuster books would not be picked up if they were queried in 2025?

I’ve been reading some old bestsellers and its exposition hell 👎

Mock-up movie poster for The Barrett Chronicles. One girl. Two centuries. A tide she can't outrun. Teenage girl standing on deck of a 18th c sailing ship; top half modern clothes, legss in pirate clothes. swath of magic across her waist. Modern lighthouse in the faded background.

Now with alt-text...#Rewritten Narnia’s coming of age+cannon fire & female rage.
The sea gives & takes.
It took Dad—imprisoned.
Then gave Mom back. Only now she’s a pirate in 1721.
To save Dad, I’ll cross centuries, face traitors & become something I never expected:A Barrett.
