"Extreme Pitch Makeover" with Kelley St. John

June 19-23, 2006

Eastside RWA is proud to present their new online workshop, "Extreme Pitch Makeover," with Kelley St. John.

Kelley St. John can describe her first pitching experience in much the some way as a witness would describe testifying in court. She told the book, the whole book, and nothing but the book. So help her God. Since that time, she's learned that there's no reason to sweat while pitching. In fact, pitching can be FUN!

<>During this course, Kelley will define three types of pitches and help writers decide which method works best for their particular book. She'll start with the "Naked Pitch," her nickname for the "High Concept Pitch." (Take the workshop, and you'll see why she's dubbed it "naked.") Then you'll learn how to give a Mini Pitch, or GMC pitch. For those who are fans of Debra Dixon's Goal, Motivation and Conflict, you'll find this pitch is perfect for you. And finally, Kelley will cover the Multi-hook Pitch, or Cover Blurb Pitch.
Kelley St. John's previous experience as a Senior Writer at NASA fueled her interest in writing action-packed suspense, although she also enjoys penning steamy romances and quirky women's fiction. She is a member of Romance Writers of America (RWA) and a double-finalist in the 2005 Golden Heart Contest. Kelley recently sold two books to Warner, with the first release, Good Girls Don't hitting the shelves in December. Kelley enjoys finding new and inventive ways to pitch her books and is excited about sharing her approach with fellow writers.

Price per class:
$ 15.00 (RWA members)
$ 30.00 (non-RWA members)
