TABLE 69
By Ginger Gilley
Secrets are the dish of the day at a charming corner tavern on the outskirts of New Orleans. Spellbinding and hysterical, something always goes wrong at table 69.
SYNOPSIS:
On the surface, The Korner Tavern is the quintessential local tavern but on the inside something is wrong. Table 69 has an irreversible curse. The staff, in-the-know, are expert secret-keepers; each harbors a secret of their own.

Three sentences... why not. It tells me everyting that I want to know and is still under 30 words.

I agree with Rutger. The concept and journey is clear, while still leaving room for us to imaging this world. Let us know when you have pages to read?

Others have said it, so I will too: Ginger, you got something special with this one. I'd like to read more about if it's not too much trouble.

Great concept! IAs a New Orleanian, I'm curious about the "urban Legend curse" behind this "Table 69". Is it an artifact from some evil, diabolical Voodoo sacrificial place? A remnant from a terrible tragedy that implements its curse on unsuspecting humans? It's material itself from a wicked Covenant of witches or old slave quarters where slaves were tortured? Like New Orleans, it itself has a rich, and deep history in the occult, macabre, and spiritual realm to tap into! Cheers to your writing success!

DD, I'm glad you asked. Being a comedy, the legend of the curse had to be funny. Here it is: Years ago when Buddy and his wife first opened the tavern, a table of wooo girls tourists were goofing around, mimicking, making fun of the voodoo priestesses and witch doctors they had visited earlier in the day and accidentally cursed the table.

I uploaded the 2-page pitch document to my profile if anyone wants to read more.
Read it. I think it's a great pitch doc. If I have any notes I'll DM you but I really hope this gets green lit for you!

Your log line & synopsis are much the same. I know the premise, but it wasn't until after I read your response to DD Miles that I found out what the story is. It sounds like a good one!
