Learn how to Pitch Your Book to Publishers and Agents

Once
you’ve written your book, you’ll need some practice describing it quickly and
clearly. What will you say to a publisher or a literary agent? Learn what to
say and meet three book publishers: Kristina Makansi from Blank Slate Press,
Robin Tidwell from Rockinghorse Publishing and Lisa Miller with Walrus
Publishing at the St. Louis Publishers Association, Wednesday, December 11.
Doors open at 6:30PM.

December’s
SLPA meeting is dedicated to helping you deliver your message in a clear,
concise, and compelling manner. 

Four
key ingredients for a polished pitch are:

• the hook
• the summary
• your target
  audience
• your
  qualifications as an author

Up
to several attendees will get to practice their one-minute pitch and receive
valuable feedback from a panel of publishing and media professionals.
(Preference will be given to current members.) The rest of the audience will
learn from what the panelists have to say. It will be a great opportunity to
learn the art of clear communication.

To
top off the meeting, we will celebrate the holiday season with good
conversation, networking and light refreshments.
