You’ve written your novel. Now, how are you going to grab the attention of the agent or editor to sell it—or the book blogger to promote it? You’re going to construct and practice your pitch, beat your blurb to death and tickle everyone’s interest with your tag lines, that’s how.

Bantam Spectra author Linnea Sinclair explains the importance of pitches and tag line and guide students through the fun and imaginative procedure to develop the best pitch for their book. Plus, students will have hands-on lessons in creating those pithy advertising tag lines that, yes, will help not only sell their book to a publisher and create a book buzz from a blogger, but help the publisher and blogger sell it—with sizzle!—to readers.
