Pitch Party at Book Roast

13 Mar

This Tuesday, March 17th, the good people over at the Book Roast blog are having a pitch party.

Five real (albeit anonymous) editors will judge book pitches. There is a 75-word limit, and the pitches can be real or imagined. Do it for fun or do it for real—your choice.

There is also a theme, but I wouldn’t worry about that too much. This is an opportunity to get noticed by professionals, so take it.

Finally, as a Book Roast alum, I encourage you to take a look around the site. Despite its homemade look, the Book Roast people are doing something remarkable, a kind of “open source” publicity where authors of all stripes interact with readers in an online cocktail party setting. Nice.
