Amelia Aierwood - Basic Witch

Inspired by Emily Hampshire's real life and friends.

"Read Amelia Aierwood: Basic Witch and root for her as she finds her own magic." -Amy Poehler (Actress, Producer, Writer)

From the weirdo mind of actor, writer, and producer Emily Hampshire (Schitt's Creek, Chapelwaite, 12 Monkeys), Amelia Aierwood: Basic Witch follows the least-favorite daughter of L.A.’s most famous family of witches, the Aierwoods.

Amelia’s sisters have all followed in the footsteps of their prominent parents but everything Amelia does is just a little… off-brand. A late bloomer who has yet to find her calling, Amelia uses her powers for mostly mundane problems but even those lead to magical misfires. As her family's fame continues to rise, they have no choice but to exclude their bumbling black-sheep daughter from the next great chapter of the Aierwoods - reality TV!

With the help of her adopted brother Spaghetti - who she accidentally turned into a yeti… long story - Amelia must carve her own path outside of her family’s influence.
