Can you sell your book in one sentence?

It’s difficult—but essential. A strong, catchy pitch works wonders, and immediately sparks interest from agents and publishers alike. Together, we will discuss the importance of elevator pitches to the submissions process and how vital they are when industry professionals are assessing work. We will analyse successful examples, exploring what intrigued us and explaining how to avoid some of the most common mistakes. In exercises, you will have the opportunity to practice formulating pitches, learning how to burrow down to and describe the core of your project. And, finally, you will have the opportunity to put these insights into practice and attempt to pitch your own book. 

By the end of this course, you will have covered:

            —how industry professionals use elevator pitches.

            —what to include in an elevator pitch.

            —how to grab everyone’s attention.

            —how to avoid the most common mistakes.

            —techniques for creating an explosive pitch.
