Create a killer elevator pitch
Practice Makes Pitch Perfect
Do you want to transform your book’s pitch into a powerful tool that captures attention and opens doors? Do you want adorable dogs to guide you through the stress of writing a compelling pitch?
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?
If you want to be able to say option C, this video training will help you craft a killer elevator pitch!
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 Twitter 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.
Even though we’ve been told since we were kids that practice makes perfect, most writers don’t practice creating pitches. This 37-minute video training breaks down the core elements of a pitch, builds a pitch step-by-step with the help of adorable dogs, and helps you gain confidence in writing pitches by providing several prompts to practice your new skills. You’ll go from dreading the pitch writing process to popping out powerful pitches that capture people’s attention.
Support from the Pitch Perfect Pups!
Trying to create a perfect pitch can be stressful, since there is so much pressure around pitching. 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 29 bucks!

Plus, as you’ll find out, when you get really good at pitching, it even helps you learn how to edit your work!”
