Oooo!!!! This is fabulous... that is, if they enjoy women's fiction. Still I was smart to have my pitches ready this round!!! A 140 character pitch, a one-liner, and a two-three sentence pitch. Good to have them all ready!
ReplyDeletePitch University has so many posts on nailing down the truly important bits of your book, the ones that need to be in the pitch. They recently added a forum, too, and you can try your pitch out for feedback.

Awesome links, Lindsay! And WOOT for another epic Mystery Agent contest! Can't wait to read the pitches...
ReplyDeleteAngelica, thanks for the link! That sounds promising.
Wow. Thanks for the great advice. Now I need a finished manuscript to go with my one-sentence pitch. Perhaps if I get my groove on like Carlton, I'll come up with a way to end this thing.
ReplyDeleteLove the dancing Carlton! Thanks for the links.
ReplyDeleteCarlton! It's been ages since I've seen him dance. Looking forward to the contest.
