Hello, this is my debut novel and first time seeking advice here in pubtips. Happy to receive feedback.

Dear [Agent Name],

I am seeking representation for THE LIE WHERE WE MET, an adult science fiction complete at 82,000 words, the first of a planned series. It pairs the literary science fiction of A Memory Called Empire and Some Desperate Glory with the cultivation traditions of wuxia and xianxia, told with the structural ambition of The Spear Cuts Through Water, and centered on a queer love story.

Silas Hale is writing his memoir from the surface of a star, hundreds of light-years from the planet that was never real. He was fourteen when he first saw threads of energy woven through the world, raised on a remote farm by a devout pastor who had no framework for what his adopted son was becoming. When Silas learned to draw the threads into himself, his body changed. He grew stronger and faster, and less human with every use. He kept it hidden.

Years later, at university, Silas studies physics under a mentor who seems to recognize what he is becoming. He builds a fragile life with a small circle of friends. And he falls for Lucian Cernat, a transfer student whose presence feels uncannily familiar, and whose grasp of the Thread runs deeper than his own. What Lucian refuses to say about himself is exactly what Silas tries hardest not to ask.

Then the disasters begin.

A tsunami erases half a coastline. Earthquakes level cities. As Silas continues to cultivate the Thread, he begins to see the pattern: the world is unraveling in the places closest to him.

He may be the cause.

And the person closest to him may have known all along.

[Author Name] is a queer poet and novelist based in [Location]. THE LIE WHERE WE MET is their debut novel.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
