Dear [Agent],
[Personalization] CURSE THESE SKINNY WITCHES is a 75,000-word cozy fantasy that appeals to the appetites of readers who enjoyed the found-family warmth of The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna with the nature-rooted magic of The Spellshop by Sarah Beth Durst.
Knotwood Hollow has not had a baby in residence for over a century. That is, until now. In a town dedicated to its daily dose of Waist-Away Elixir, new mothers Nella and Mabel are three months postpartum and barely getting by. Running on stale tea, no sleep, and the crushing realization they were never meant to endure motherhood alone, they do what any provoked witch might: they cast a small, petty curse. By morning, all the Hollow’s appetite-curbing Elixir has vanished, unlocking a forgotten mother magic that refuses to sit idly by while Nella and Mabel go unsupported. As the town’s most influential wellness witch fights to restore order, Nella and Mabel must rally the community building around them and prove that a little motherly mayhem is just what Knotwood needs. If Nella and Mabel fail, the fragile support forming will collapse. The reclaimed mother magic will wither. And Knotwood will go back to a place where mothers endure alone, ensuring no witch chooses motherhood again.
