Hi Pitch Wars hopefuls! I'm a writer of Young Adult stories in the contemporary fantasy and contemporary genres. I'll (hopefully!) be submitting for the third time in the contest with my third written book. You know what they say about that number being a good luck charm *crosses fingers.*
This year my story is a YA contemporary Gossip Girl with a mafia twist. It follows two teenagers named Tasha and Leo from rivalling, high-powered mafia families living in New York. When rumours of a new mystery gang start circling and threaten to take over, they begrudgingly decide to partner up to put a stop to them. But some schemes they can't prepare for.
Anyway, that's all I'm giving away! But I can give a quick bullet-point list of some stuff in my story readers can expect:
enemies-to-lovers
dual POV
plot twists galore
rich (criminal) teens doing rich things
a Blair Waldorf-type protagonist
a mystery element
ambition
betrayal
murder
and many secrets

So long as I finish my revisions in time, I'll be throwing my hat in the ring. Either way I'm looking forward to this year's Pitch Wars and seeing what stories are chosen!
