How to Talk About, Write About, and Get People Interested in Your Book

Sometimes it feels easier to write a book than it is to effectively and confidently pitch one. This interactive workshop held by literary agent Sorche Fairbank of Fairbank Literary Representation will cover how to talk (and write) about your book in one sentence, in one paragraph, and in one page. We'll go over uses for each, from logline/elevator pitches to query synopses and (for DIY authors) book jacket descriptions, metadata, press releases, Amazon descriptions, and more. You will leave the session with tools to help talk about your book no matter if you’re looking to catch the attention of an agent, nail the elevator pitch, or draw more attention online to your self-published book.
For Class: Bring two versions of your one-line description to class. Bring paper to write on, or a laptop if you’re more comfortable working electronically. Be prepared to have your material workshopped with the group
