Pitch Your Book So Publishers Pay Attention
Agents and publishers are flooded with more queries than ever before. How can you cut through the noise and get noticed? Let's step back and look at your fiction or nonfiction work with fresh eyes. We'll identify what makes your project unique, marketable, and irresistible to publishing gatekeepers, and then, with lots of examples and time for practice and feedback, work on verbal "elevator pitches," one-paragraph hooks, and one- to two-page synopses. This class includes a lunch break.
