An #agentsguide to my 1920s urban fantasy pitched as PEAKY BLINDERS x A MARVELLOUS LIGHT.

A gangster witch wants to escape her family’s criminal legacy, but she's bound by a blood oath, and the ritual to break it could cost her life.

🏳️‍🌈 sapphic
🖤 gritty
👵 multi-generational

#QuestPit #Q #A #F #RF
Prohibition of the Rebel Witch is an adult historical romantic fantasy complete at 107,000 words, written by Christi Playford. This pitch is laid out like the front page of a newspaper. To the right, a black and white photo shows a gangster woman from the 1920s smoking a cigarette. To the left, the headline reads, "Tension between Elemental and Blood Witches on the rise." Below the title is a paragraph stating, "Gangster witch, Lola Cortéz, wants to escape her family's deadly legacy and the criminal underworld of 1920s Minnesota to practice the magic she loves. But a blood oath binds her to them for life, and the only ritual strong enough to break it might swallow her whole. When she falls for her mortal enemy and the woman of her dreams, Lola must attempt the dangerous spell to take control of her future before her father offers her in marriage as a peace treaty to the new gangster in town, and she forfeits a chance at the only life she's ever wanted." Prohibition of the Rebel Witch is perfect for fans of Freya Marske, Francesca May, and Chloe Gong. Three comparative titles are laid out side-by-side in black and white, continuing with the newspaper theme. The first title is A Marvellous Light by Freya Marske. The bullet point tropes below a black and white picture of the book include: dysfunctional family, political intrigue, magical curse, suspense, and LGBTQ+ romance. The second title is Wild and Wicked Things by Francesca May. The bullet point tropes below a black and white pictures of that book include: sapphic romance, witchcraft, illegal magic, raising the dead, Gastsby-esque extravagance. The third and final title is These Violent Delights by Chloe Gong. The bullet point tropes below this black and white picture include: rival gangsters, dark and gritty, forbidden love, 1920s setting, criminal underworld. The first few lines of Prohibition of the Rebel Witch are laid out like the inside page of a newspaper. To the right, a black and white photo shows a woman cocking a revolver behind her back. The tagline at the top of the photo read, "Referene Image, Year 1924." To the left, with the first line in bold, is the beginning of the book: "Lola stared at the cold, limp body on the ground before her. The sharp, sulfurous scent of gunpowder stung her nostrils as blood snaked its way across the cement towards her oiled leather boots. In the dim light of the Minnesota warehouse, the silver edges of a hexagram gleamed against the dead woman's left wrist—mirroring the one on Lola's right. Blood witches. That's what they were. Lola was born into this gangster life a blood witch and she would die the same." This final, newspaper-style layout for Prohibition of the Rebel Witch is a moodboard, complete with twelve black and white images. From the top left, there is a photo (1) of two women kissing in a booth at a speakeasy. (2) An up-close image of a revolver. (3) A hexagram tattooed onto someone's wrist. (4) The same gangster woman smoking from the first layout page. (5) A full moon. (6) A woman screaming with her head thrown back. (7) A gothic-style Victorian mansion. (8) Dead human remains. (9) A collection of potion bottles and a spell book. (10) A gangster man in a three-piece suit. (11) Someone manipulating fire by magic. An finally, (12) a city-scape with Model T cars on the street.

THE WITCH OF THE WOOD - #QuestPit
Milo Ashton races to save the forest his family relies on, and himself, from a horrible curse. He finds help in Cam, a mysterious man living in the woods, who is seemingly unaffected by the curse that has killed everyone who ventured into Hatwick Wood.
#W #F #RF
A light gray square over a dark forest that reads: The Witch of the Wood. - 16k Novelette - MM Fantasy Romance - Breaking a Curse - A Spooky Forest - A Search for a Witch - Nervous x Confident A light green square over a forest background: For as long as Hatwick Wood had grown, there had been a witch hiding in its trees. The witch was a steward of the wood, caring for it and making sure that the people of nearby villages never took too much from it. It was the witch’s sacred duty to do this, and their magic had flown wild and free as they protected the forest. Although no one had never seen the steward of the wood, stories flowed through the families about the witch. Everyone knew that their role was the care for the forest, and if anything ever went wrong, the witch needed to be found in order to fix it. No one knew this better than the Ashtons. Milo Ashton came from a long line of people who made their living in the forest. His grandfather, and his grandfather’s grandfather, and his grandfather’s grandfather’s grandfather, with every father in between and even further back; every one of the Ashtons were hunters. It wasn’t work that would make them rich, or elevate them above the common folk, but it was good, honest work that would always be needed. And the Ashtons had always hunted in Hatwick Wood. Then Hatwick Wood was cursed. Over a dark forest, two circles with portraits and two dark squares with character information. Milo Ashton - A hunter tasked with breaking the curse on Hatwick Wood. Uncertain, nervous, but determined to do right. His portrait is of a young man with short black hair and tan skin, wearing a cream tunic and a green cloak. He looks nervous. Cambium - An energetic young man who is living in Hatwick Wood. Unaffected by the curse that lingers in the forest. Outgoing, bold, but willing to help where he can. His portrait is a young man with brown skin and long, dark brown hair. He is wearing a colorful patchwork shirt and a scarf. A olive green square over a forest background. It reads: Vibes in Song Form: - "The Forest" by Mirah - "Into the Woods" by PHILDEL - "All Things Devour" by aeseaes - "In the Woods Somewhere" by Hozier

left hand side: text reading With the help of her new dragon companion, eighteen-year-old Shafira hunts down the legendary assassin who murdered her parents in front of her. But things become complicated when she discovers the assassin in question is the best friend she was forcibly separated from five years previous...and that she may not be working of her own free will. right hand side: a picture of a grassy hill in front of a fog covered mountain overlaid with texting reading Elevator Pitch left hand side: covers for Fireborne by Rosaria Munda, the movie Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and So Let Them Burn by Kamilah Cole over text of a bullet pointed list. the list reads: childhood friends to enemies to lovers, found family, stolen memories/elements of brainwashing, war is hell and everyone loses, i think-i think i know you, you used to, grumpy old man in the form of a dragon, nobody is processing their trauma and everyone needs therapy right hand side: an image of a night sky with stars and clouds overlaid with text that reads Tropes and Comps left hand side: text reading excerpt above text reading: A chill that has nothing to do with the cold wind coming off of the Hungry Deep washes over me, settling into the marrow of my bones, as I realize what I am seeing: Mairi is the Flameheart, the assassin that was more human than myth. Which mean that Mairi killed my parents. right hand side: an image of what is presumably a female body clad in black fantasy-esque armor that covers everything, including the face. the figure is holding a sword in each hand and has a third strapped to their back
