Atmosphere PressMy editorial assistant reviewed your submission. I see potential in your Continuance hook. Tying Eleanor’s Jean Harlow aesthetic to the 1792 pact makes her rebirth feel visceral rather than just decorative. The Hopton rivalry over the stolen pearls and forged will adds grit, landing near Mexican Gothic. You’re tapping into a marketable brand of hereditary dread; keep leaning into that ancestral weight, and I'll be interested to see where the rest of this story goes.

Pegasus PublishngChampioning More Authors, More Voices Every month we receive several hundred submissions, and only a small percentage make it through to the final review stage. This means that many strong manuscripts are traditionally turned away long before they have a chance to reach readers.
