SHADOW AND BONE x THE PRINCESS BRIDE

“Her golden hair shimmered beneath the sun's praise. The way the rays peppered her cheeks with sparkles made Graham wonder if Elora was special to the sun in the same way the sun was special to her.”

#posterpitq #PosterPit #YA #F
A movie poster based on my book, THESE GILDED BALLADS, featuring a young woman looking over her shoulder in front of a stone home hidden deep in the forest. There is text calling out elemental magic, a grumpy x sunshine dynamic, the word count of 72k, a SHADOW AND BONE x THE PRINCESS BRIDE pitch, the genre of upper YA/crossover fantasy, and a hook that says, "If she wants to save her sister, Elora must survive: exposing her light magic to the mortal king, joining forces with a traitorous thief harboring a deadly secret, and battling a fallen dark ruler."

To pull off a heist and save her friends (and a shy prince locked in a tower), a thief with illusion magic will have to live up to her reputation of being a great illusionist, a flawless liar, and an exceptional thief—what she considers to be all her best traits.

#PosterPit #PosterPitQ #YA #F
A poster with an art deco style border has the title, “Capers, Crowns, and Thieves” and features a single photo of a young woman sitting in an antique chair against a dark green background. She holds a feathery masquerade-type mask up to her face, obscuring all of her features except her eyes. A tagline to the left of her reads, “She plans to steal the show.” Below the photo is smaller, skinnier, light brown text on a black background. It says, “Capers, Crowns, and Thieves is a manuscript written by Jacqui Culler, intended for children of YA ages but also appropriate for crossover audiences. The pitch: When the king kidnaps her friends, a thief with illusion magic must pull off an impossible heist in order to save them, but she’s in a city she was never supposed to return to and short on people she can trust. Set in a 1920s-inspired city, featuring gangsters, magic, and romance.” The text below mimics graphics found on a movie poster and read, “YA, for teen and crossover”, then “Querying Now”, and “Genre Classification System: Fantasy Heist.”

Two lineart drawings of people intersecting over one another. The left is a man in blue colors with long hair. The right is a woman in red colors with long hair. Fire burns inside both of them, embers burn in the background. Snow appears to be drifting past. Text over top reads "what does it take to prove your worth?" "Marked for Life" and "written by Aimee Cozza / Tory Keith."

Inside, the Tenement is an infinite maze of halls and doors.

Outside, there is... Nothing.

When Noah Walker's mother disappears one night, he sets out to unravel the secrets of his surreal world... even it means bringing the whole thing down.

A film poster for TENEMENT. It shows a long narrow hallway with several closed doors, wood flooring & lightbulbs that color everything in an unsettling yellow-brown light. The hallway disappears into a swirl of darkness that distorts the walls, like a black hole sucking everything in. The text at the top center of the poster reads FOLLOW THE RULES, PAY THE RENT, DON'T ASK QUESTIONS. Above the main title at the bottom of the poster it reads FOR FANS OF HOUSE OF LEAVES & THE GIVER, and below the title "TENEMENT" is a subtitle which reads A SURREAL DYSTOPIAN MYSTERY. Across the bottom of the poster several tropes are listed as if they are the names of actors in the movie: FORGOTTEN KNOWLEDGE, BURIED SECRETS, MISSING PARENT, RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE, ESCAPING THE MATRIX.
