Pitchapalooza November 4, 2010

Pitchapalooaza is like American Idol for books, and it works like this: Anyone with an idea for a book has the chance to pitch it to a panel of judges consisting of Book Doctors, Arielle Eckstut and David Henry Sterry, plus guest industry insiders and/or local authors. Each contestant gets only one minute. The judges critique everything from idea to style to marketplace potential and much more. Come away with concrete advice on how to improve your pitch, as well as a greater understanding of the ins and outs of the publishing industry. At the end of Pitchapalooza, the judges come together to pick a winner. The winner receives a half hour consultation with Eckstut and Sterry on the details about how to get your book published.
