Are YOU SICK of retellings in the modern era without any cultural callbacks?
DO YOU want something with ramifications? Real stakes?! (Without fries, sorryā¦)
Then come see the trainwreck that is Atlās life! I guarantee itāll make you feel better about yourself!
Night terrors, running away from the gods of creations, paradise, the underworld, light, and death itself with Atl will leave you tiredā¦ but it will be well worth it.
Trust me.

My potential NaNo project. Right now it sounds plenty cheesy, but hopefully Iāll find time and energy to tweak it before April. ĀÆ\_(ļ¢)_/ĀÆ

In the small town of Gravid, Texas, abortion is illegal and contraceptives are hard to get. Yet men have no trouble getting viagra, and insurance even pays for it, while those same insurance companies refuse to cover feminine medical products.
When a twelve-year-old rape victim is unable to get her pregnancy terminated and dies in the delivery room, strange events start occurring in Gravid. The men soon find themselves suffering from symptoms of pregnancy, but theyāre not carrying babies.
Itās something much more sinister.

It went something like this:
āIām an author from [area] and just published my first book on Amazon! Itās science fantasy! Hereās the link if youāre interested!ā
Then I got on the local noticeboard.
Then I got in the local paper.
Then into my high school library.
Just got into the Regional Library (local council is making payment difficult hissssss)
Havenāt quite figured out how to pitch to a book store yet but figured worry about that after I publish book 2

Umā¦
According to Google: Your pitch should include the title, length and genre of your novel; a short description of the call to action and the conflict, your target audience; where it fits in the market (i.e. books similar to yours, or authors similar to you ā also known as ācomp titlesā); and your bio.
Soā¦ if this is correct, then my pitch (if to an agent, etc.) will be below 
:
The SORCERESS is a YA sci-fi fantasy novel with over 101,000 words.
In the far future, Earth is no longer the same with changed climates, a continental shift, and multiple alien species residing in various places of the world during a century-long intergalactic war with a magical race called the Victorians. Nicolas Eissa, a seventeen year old solider, wants to put an end to their destruction as they killed his entire family and village. He sets out on a quest with his crew of seven to hunt them down and end the war with the help of some others along the way. Though Nicolas soon realizes that the Victorians arenāt exactly who he thinks they are, and believes that there is something more to their reasoning for destruction than just power.
Itās an Avatar: the Last Airbender meets Star Wars story.
This is obviously not a true pitch because if I were actually pitching to an agent, Iād definitely rewrite it, but this is more of a simple one. xD
