Perfect Pitch (for writers)

I know it's short notice but RWA's national conference is just around the corner so....I'm offering my online pitch class again.

Want to capture an editor or agent's attention? Want to know how to capture the essence of your book in just a few sentences? Want to know what to expect and how to handle questions that might otherwise throw you off balance? Want to know how to best present yourself in the 10 or 15 minutes you may have to pitch your proposal? 

This class will cover those issues and more as well as a brief critique (if you choose) of YOUR pitch. I often coach writers (in an impromptu as well as formal way) on how to pitch their projects to editors and agents. These pitches tend to be quite successful. I know that pitching can be stressful and this class is designed to take away some of that stress and up the odds that a writer will get a request for their manuscript from their dream editor or agent.
