This Friday evening seminar opens with a short introductory presentation on what makes a pitch work. Then participants get to work on their pitches in small groups led by a literary agent or editor. The goal is for every writer who wants to practice pitching to get that opportunity in a supportive environment. Participants benefit not just from working on their own pitches, but from listening to and participating in critiques of their fellow writers.
