Pitching on the Elevator

A quicky today.

Watch this



Then read this ...

(I'm a published author now - yeah, yeah - but Nicola Morgan's refresher on pitching will be useful, whatever stage of the game you're in)

    That's brilliant! When there's time I do a role play in my 'An Agent walks into a bar' workshop. Being the agent is great - you get to see what it really feels like to be pitched at!

    Oh dear, I think I'm the flappy one. I really must go to one of Jackie's workshops ...

    Hilarious! But they forgot to include the Shrinking Violet Author. You know, the one who would run up twenty flights of stairs to avoid any chance of an elevator pitch. Not that I know anyone like that....

    Great video - really made me laugh. Pitching is so hard - just the thought of doing it turns me into a gibbering pile of waffle.
