Agent's Guide for THAW

What's an Agent's Guide?
For anyone not aware, there's a trend going around the writing community, specifically among querying writers. The trend is to create a set of images to post on social media about the novel they're querying and calling those images an agent's guide. It's an overview of the book to give a sense of the vibes, concept, and aesthetic along with some basic facts like genre, word count, and a pitch. These are generally pinned on Twitter (X) to be on the top of the writer's profile so any agents who click on their profile for any reason can see the concept right away. I have a guide on my Twitter and Instagram, but thought it was also be good to have on my website. 

​My agent's guide is below, with alt text descriptions between each image, for accessibility.
