Jackie Blain hates to sing her own praises, but geez,
somebody ought to. She’s a writer, AND a screenwriter, AND a teacher of both,
AND a professional editor and writing coach, AND, for the past ten years or
more, she’s been running the Pitch Practice room at the Willamette Writers
Conference, which is widely (and justly) regarded as the best such conference
on the West Coast.
I know, because for most of those years I’ve been there with
her, helping folks craft pitches for novels, screenplays, self-help books,
memoir, non-fiction, graphic novels, children’s books and projects so unusual
they defy categorization. We’ve helped many hundreds of people discover how to
put the best face on their project and pitch it like a pro. And it’s been
immensely gratifying to have many of those people return and share their
success stories – requests for chapters, pages, outlines, proposals, and in
some cases even full manuscripts.
Now, at last, Jackie is sharing her pitch-honing techniques
with the rest of the world. This entertaining book leads you step-by-step through
the process of making your pitch ready for prime time.
Jackie dishes out solid, time-tested techniques for finding
your hook, zeroing in on the heart of your story and crafting pitches for
occasions. You’ll know what to say next time you’re in the elevator with Steven
Spielberg, and you’ll be ready for the agent who wants an in-depth description.
You’ll find all that and more in HOW TO SUCCESSFULLY PITCH
YOUR PROJECT AT A WRITERS CONFERENCE, and you’ll be two legs up on everyone who
has NOT read this book. Get it now. At this price, it’s a steal.
