Pitch isn't a Bad Word
Pitching can be intimidating. It’s difficult to reduce an entire novel into a small query or elevator pitch. But it doesn’t have to be an anxiety-inducing process or something to avoid! Our panelists help break down pitching and how to take some of the pain out of the process by giving strategies based on where and how you’re pitching, along with pointing out misconceptions. | Moderated by Brad Lee
5:30 - 07:00 PM
