The Elevator Pitch
with Chris Eboch

Picture
Writers often need the dreaded one-sentence synopsis. But how can you possibly sum up your work in one little sentence? In this workshop, we’ll discuss the key to a great one-sentence synopsis—finding your story’s hook. Then practice turning your hook into a one-sentence synopsis and get feedback to help you refine the results. Finally, expand your pitch into thirty-
second and one-minute versions. 

If you are going to an SCBWI conference or the IWWG Fall Big Apple Conference to meet the agents, this session will get you ready! You'll also gain confidence and insight into creating a powerful query letter, and sharing your work with potential agents, editors, or readers wherever you might need them.

Recordings will be available to class participants, both for review and for anyone who can’t attend a session live.
