A Black feminist essayist confronts the leftist heartthrob who built his YouTube career on her talking points.
When their interview goes viral, their feud becomes public spectacle—and something darker, uglier, and way too sexy to ignore.

A poster with an orange, pink and black color palette. There’s an orange aliens head peaking up. Stars in the background and the words. “Aug S & Co. present. An Animated series coming to you. Live, Now. Glitch In Reality. Enter and learn the unknown world.”
The main cast: Micheal B Jordan as Static, Big Boogie as Solace, Donald Glover as Golden, Maya Erskine as Dev, Cherise Boothe as Romance, Anika Noni Rose as Azalea, and Miley Yamamoto as Inez.
Art of my characters. Sol is a dark skinned black man with locks and vitiligo, Ro is a brown skinned gender-fluid person with red short locks, Stat has brown skin, freckles, and two different colored eyes: green and brown, glasses and a gap tooth. Azalea has dark skin, braids, a nose piercing and a metal arm. Dev has pale skin, short black hair and is Asian. And gold has brown skin, curly honey brown hair and brown eyes.
I have no visual representation for Inez she’s just an older rich bad bitch.
Glitch! In Reality. A sci-fi horror novel about traumatized queers killing supernatural entities for money🙂↕️
#CastPit #W #YA #H #SF #LGBT #Blackwriters
I love animation so, my series will definitely be animated in the same style as the Miles Morales Spiderman movies, it’ll be gorey n emotional.

1) Firstly, anything asking for money is a scam. Real agents do not have reading fees or recommend paid editors. Any publisher that costs money is a scam called a "vanity press" or "hybrid press." If they're making money off authors, they have no incentive to make money off readers. 2) Make sure you're talking to the person you think you're talking to! If you can't find the professional's X account on their website or their agency's website, be very careful. Impersonating agents and then asking for reading fees seems to be a trend these days. 3) For real industry likes, we'll start with editors! When vetting a publisher or small press, start by looking at their books. How many people have bought them? What do their covers look like? Do they use AI? What do the reviews say and *who wrote them* 4) Take a look at the website next. Is it geared toward getting authors to submit or getting books to readers? Do they prohibit agented submissions? How old are they? How do they distribute books? Do they offer any paid services? 5) Rules for vetting agents are more solid. You'll want someone from a reputable agency who is a member of ALA and has either sold books like yours or who has strong mentorship from agents who have sold books like yours. 6) It's even better if the agent has previous editorial experience, has sold to Big Fives (or whatever the equivalent is for your genre!) and has a reputation for kindness and communication. 7) If an agency is also offering editorial, marketing, or other for-pay services, that's a huge red flag! (This doesn't necessarily apply to agents offering freelance services independent of their job at the agency.) 8) If an agent has no editorial experience, relevant education, or sales record, don't sign with them!! A bad agent will set your career back so much farther than having no agent--and I mean that. 9) vet all offers with Writer Beware, Publishers Marketplace, the Querytracker comments section, and the experts on r/PubTips
Just a warning about scammer who may like your post posing at literary agents or publishers during #CastPit.
@RowanBrightonB has written an excellent 10 point thread on the matter you can find at this link and also listed in the graphic attached.

A young woman with deep brown skin and long, black hair stands against a softly lit white wall. She wears a sleeveless black top with a subtle sheen and looks directly at the camera with a confident, slightly serious expression. Warm lighting highlights her cheekbones and eyes.
A young woman with very fair skin and long, pale blonde hair stands outdoors in soft natural light. She wears a strapless black dress with a sweetheart neckline and a simple gold necklace. Her expression is calm and introspective as she gazes slightly past the camera.
Ashera — Obsidian’s adoptive mother and the Sun Court’s radiant, ruthless leader.
Tatiana — her sworn enemy, the cold queen of the Full Moon Court.
Their feud pulls Obsidian, the last mermaid, into a dangerous mission.
Casting: Simone Ashley, Anya Taylor-Joy

A portrait of a young Black woman with long, braids, smiling warmly. She rests her chin on her hand and wears a pale yellow short-sleeve top and light blue jeans. The background is a soft grey.
A close-up of an androgynous person with short, slicked-back hair and pale skin. They have sharp, delicate features, light blue eyes, and a calm, intense expression. They wear a black sequinned jacket, a white shirt, and a dangling blue crystal earring, giving them a cool, elegant, and ethereal look.
A black-and-white photo of a striking young East Asian man seated on a chair. He wears an open, deep-V black shirt and loose black trousers. His expression is intense, with sharp eyes and styled hair.
🧜🏿♀️ Obsidian is Ophelia reimagined as a mermaid who refuses to drown.
🧝🏻♀️Ivy is her childhood best friend turned forbidden love.
🫅🏻Dae—her distraction—is a sharp-tongued prince with a taste for bargains.
Casting: Sinclair Daniel, Emma D’Arcy, Cha Eun-woo
