Writing West Midlands One-Day Short Course: Pitching Your Work
Sat 25 Jan 2020 to Sat 25 Jan 2020
This one-day workshop will teach you in a practical way how to talk about your work, and pitch it to agents / editors / commissioning editors / producers – whatever is relevant to your art form.
You’ll learn how to structure your pitch, talk confidently and clearly about your plot and genre, and practise your pitch several times through the day in different ways.
This workshop is intended for prose writers (both fiction and non-fiction) and scriptwriters but likely won’t be relevant for those writing poetry.
In order to participate fully, you will need to have a complete story (in whatever form) which you can talk about from start to finish. You will learn skills you can transfer to any other story, but to get the most out of the workshop, it will be helpful to just focus on one you can finesse.
Although you do not need to be published to attend, you do need to have a complete manuscript to be able to base your pitch on.
Olivia Chapman is the PR & Communications Manager for Writing West Midlands, and has been pitching books and scripts as well as events and festivals since she started working in publishing in 2005.
