Best for: “I need to practice pitching before a conference or agent meeting.”

Preparing to pitch your book to agents at a writers conference or pitch event?

Practice before the real thing.

This one-on-one coaching session gives you a chance to rehearse your pitch and get direct feedback before you sit down with agents.

You’ll send me your current pitch or book description ahead of time. During our Zoom call, you’ll practice presenting your pitch out loud, and I’ll give you direct feedback from an agent’s perspective. We’ll look at what’s working, what’s unclear, what may be missing, and how to make your pitch stronger.

We’ll work on your hook, category, audience, comparable titles if relevant, and the best way to describe your book in a short appointment. I’ll also help you prepare for common follow-up questions agents may ask.

This session is especially helpful if you’re feeling nervous, unsure what to say, or worried your pitch is too long, too vague, or too hard to explain.

You’ll leave with a clearer pitch, a better understanding of what agents listen for, and more confidence heading into your conference appointment.

Cost: $249
