Getting Ready for the Writers Conference The Pitch Sheet
The conference just happened and I have a lot to say about it, but I’ll cover it in my next post or two. About two weeks ago, I heard about a writers conference, Write Fest,in my home town of Houston. I found out they had agent pitch sessions and I went through the agents attending. Out of the nine agents at the conference, only two were interested in thriller/mysteries and no one in crime. So I signed up and started researching pitch sessions for a writer’s conferences. Many people recommended preparing a pitch sheet, also called a one-sheet.
The Pitch Sheet
This is a one page of information about you and your book that you can give to the agent you are meeting. It will have a blurb, and this is not a synopsis, but like what would be on the back of your book. It should probably be in the range of 150–200 words.
