Now that pitch events are back, authors, it’s time to talk about the best way to prepare your pitch to sell your book.

When in doubt, the Pixar method never fails.

Side note: I would love to see this pitch as a manuscript in my queries, just saying.
A pitch is a simple premise that grabs the reader in 1-2 sentences by showing the character, the situations, and the stakes When in doubt, use the Pixar Pitch Method: once upon a time; but, one day; and because of that; because of that Example: In a war torn world, a young seamstress survives in a divided magical empire; every day, she stitches dresses for the elite while secretly sewing coded messages for the resistance—until one day, her latest design was intercepted, putting her life, her cause, and the fate of the rebellion at risk.

Can’t decide what to buy on Prime Day?

Try: absolutely nothing, and then go support indie bookstores instead 📚
