A town with missing memories. A snowstorm that never happened. A dark figure playing a fatal game behind the scenes. And a dead girl walking with the answers. The only problem? She doesn't remember them & she has 30 days to figure it out before she dies again. #roundtablementor #ya #f #un

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:

Based on Korean myth, Jihoon & Miyoung fall in love, only prob is Miyoung's a gumiho, immortal 9-tail fox that preys on man #DVpit #YA #OWN
