Here’s the pitch!
Sweaty Palms.
Rumbling tummy.
A mouth that suddenly refuses to work.
We’ve all been there. Been in front of an agent or editor, knowing that what comes out of our mouths means the beginning of the sale or rejection of the work we’ve put our hearts and souls into. At what point to we forget that editors and agents are people too? Well, I can’t put it any better than people who know more than I do about it.
First, Anna Genoese from Tor talks about Pitching and Catching. This is a great blog post, one to keep in your bookmarks.
Next, Sue Fagalde Lick has an article at Writing World called The Perfect Pitch: Pitching to Agents at a Writing Conference.
And Margaret Moore has some good advice too.
I get a little nervous just thinking about “the pitch”. Thanks for the links, April.
