You might think about pitching your book as a very specific, one-time step in the publishing process. But the fact is that having a strong pitch can help you during almost every phase of the journey, from writing and editing to querying and selling, to marketing and promoting! In this workshop, author and book critic Caitlyn Paxson will guide you through the process of how to create a great pitch through hands-on practice and shed light on how that pitch can help you find success with your writing.
