Craft attention-grabbing book pitches without stress and frustration
From Panic to Pitch Perfect: A Framework to Create Compelling Book Hooks
Stop freezing up when someone asks “what’s your book about?” Instead, craft a captivating pitch you can confidently deliver that make agents, editors, and readers ask for more.
Your dream agent steps into the elevator with you...
Do you:
A) Smile silently because your brain freezes?
B) Babble out a barrage of plot points in random order?
C) Smoothly deliver a killer pitch that makes the agent ask for more?
The Pitch Perfect framework will help you create a pitch to achieve option C. Unlike basic templates that offer temporary solutions, this sustainable skill-building approach ensures you’ll develop pitch-crafting confidence that lasts your entire writing career.
And a killer pitch is not just handy for random encounters with people in publishing, it can also: become the core of your query, catch an agent’s attention during social media pitch parties, and convince readers to buy your book once it’s published. Crafting a pitch is also a great exercise to do before you start writing your story, since it helps you focus on the crucial elements and make sure there’s actually a full story there.
Practice Makes Pitch Perfect!
Why do writers dread writing pitches? Because they don’t practice!
Even though we’ve been told since we were kids that practice makes perfect, most writers don’t practice creating pitches. Then when the pressure is on to create one single sentence that will perfectly capture your entire story, it feels impossible.
This video workshop breaks down the core elements of a pitch and helps you gain confidence with prompts for practicing your new skills on stories that aren’t yours.
What you’ll get:
- 37-minute video training with Pitch Perfect framework
- Example pitches
- Practical exercises to build pitching muscles
- Bonus: Demo with the Pitch Perfect Pups
For just $9, go from dreading the pitch-writing process to popping out powerful pitches that capture people’s attention.
Meet the Pitch Perfect Pups!
With all the expectations around pitching, creating a compelling book hook can be frustrating and stressful. So it’s dogs to the rescue!
My siblings’ dogs Kali, Bear, and Remy volunteered to help build a pitch step-by-step. They even agreed to wear costumes . . . in exchange for a LOT of treats. And my dog Kenzi also dons a few costumes in order to serve as inspiration for some of the practice prompts. Their cuteness alone makes this training a steal at just nine bucks!
