No…not baseball. 😉
But I guess it’s baseball season again. I’m thinking about the dreaded “elevator” pitch. Book pitch-style. How to take our brilliant writing ideas and condense the goodness into one fabulous fast ball…enticing all readers, generating interest and enthusiasm.
Like hitting a home run!
Writing friends…the ‘pitch’ matters. Whether you’re in the exploratory phase of an idea or you’ve made it all around the bases and you’ve accomplished the unthinkable…you brought your baby, your project all the way ‘home’. Knowing how to describe it is essential.
Summarizing your effort into a pithy few sentences might render you squeamish. Benched. Except…this is where we lean on each other. Rally the team! We listen intently to our colleagues – fellow writers as they hone their messages, entice us with intrigue. Just like Cheryl Oreglia did when Wynne and I visited with her recently.
Cheryl let us in on her insider info from attending a recent Writer’s Conference. Ohhhh…the giggles and insights. Cheryl doesn’t hold back as she shares a few do’s and don’ts…but most of all, we learn how important it is to be brave and get out there. Play ball!
Here’s a peek at Cheryl’s pitch for her new book:
