BRIDGERTON x LITTLE THIEVES
Selene knew becoming a Master Thief would be hard but she didn’t think it included
💎 stealing the Crown Jewels
🫅protecting a prince without falling in love
🥷 Fending off assassins
🚨 Staying out of jail
🪭 Using a fan to insult someone

LITTLE THIEVES X BRIDGERTON
Selene infiltrates high society to protect a prince and avoid the hangman. Not only does she have to deal with assassins, but also the noble ladies angry that an upstart got the most eligible bachelor
Selene isn’t quite sure what’s worse

QUEEN’S SPADE X BRIDGERTON
Thief Selene impersonates a Lady and fakes a courtship with Prince Henry to protect him in exchange for a hefty payday. It’s knives out for the upstart from both the glittering high society and the assassins who won’t stop until Henry is dead 💀

With the constables on her heels, thief Selene will do anything to avoid jail: even impersonate a Lady 🪭 💅🏽 to protect Prince Henry until his coronation.
When the assassins close in, Selene will have to decide: save Henry & her new friends or save herself from the hangman.

Fake courtship & murder attempts? Say less
Thief Selene only wanted to bribe Prince Henry —not thwart his murder
On the run, she strikes a bargain w/ him: impersonate a Lady to find the mastermind. But court politics can be deadly. If she isnt careful, she’ll lose her heart and her head

16 y/o Selene just wanted to finish her heist and become a Master Thief— instead she’s embroiled in tea parties, dancing & murder attempts w/ a charming prince
If she doesnt keep her wits, her fake courtship wont have a happy ending

She’ll even get paid if she does a good job! But Selene will have to work for every coin bc the assassins won’t stop until Henry’s dead.

Before #preDV & #DVPit thought I'd repost some pitching advice(1/7)
Here's a simple pitch rubric:
[CHARACTER] is/lives [STATUS QUO] until [INCITING INCIDENT]. Now if they don’t [MAIN GOAL] then [CONSEQUENCES].
OR
[MAIN MOTIVATION] only problem is [MAIN CONFLICT/HURDLE]
e.g. my old 140 char pitch:
