I got cut out at the quarter-final stage of the novel contest. It's O.K. Now I'm free to take this novel to the Writer's Institute next month, during which I'm scheduled to give an 8-minute pitch to an agent. If Getting It Right, my "coming-of-age novel about faith, fear, family, and love in a time of historic cultural upheaval" were still tied up ( Read more... )

Big smile. Tonight I'll raise a glass of wine to writing stories. I'm sure your pitch will go great.

Great! (I love root beer.)

I still have that "I want to read that!" feeling when I think of your book. It will shine in an eight-minute pitch! :)

I might want to ask you if you'd consider reading a draft of the book.

definitely! :)

Send me your preferred email address for receiving it as an attachment? It'll probably be a PDF.

Pitch it well, young Jedi. Eight minutes is a long time to fill -- use the force and make it count!

Fortunately I'll get to attend a "pitch practice session" a couple of days before my 8-minute slot comes up, so I can at least see how some other people do it.
