You’ve stuck the landing, reread your manuscript so many times you’re editing in your dreams, and basked in the praise of your writers’ group. Now you think you’re ready for the next step: sending it out.
Getting an agent’s or editor’s attention takes more than a lucky scratch ticket. A professional, well-crafted, compelling pitch can help your manuscript stand out in a crowded inbox. You know your story—but how do you introduce it in a way that makes someone else eager to read more?
Join Tim Horvath, New Hampshire Literary Award–winning author and senior editor at Conjunctions, for this 90-minute webinar on the fundamentals of effective pitching. Drawing on his experience as a writer, editor, and writing instructor, Tim will examine real-life examples, offer practical suggestions for sharpening your pitch, and answer your questions to help make this exciting stage of your writing journey feel less daunting.
You’ll learn how to:
- Identify the essential elements of a strong, professional pitch.
- Capture what makes your story distinctive and compelling.
- Recognize what works—and what falls short—in real-life examples.
- Refine your pitch to grab attention and spark interest.
- Approach agents and editors with greater confidence.
