THROWING OUT THE FIRST PITCH!!!

I have a favor to ask. It’s an important favor and it might just make a difference in your life.

RESERVE YOUR PITCH SESSION TODAY!!!!

I’ll give you the scenario.

We write. It’s what we do. We work hard at it and once in a while we do something to grow as a writer. We take classes, attend seminars, get our work critiqued and as a result our writing evolves. It evolves daily! We win a few contests and are published a little here and there and the hard work and the passion we have for this art form is validated in all sort and form.

Then the conference agent/editor lineup is announced and we start the tea party again. NOT THE ONE WITH ALL THE HEAVY POLITICS!!! The REAL tea party, the one we have all by ourselves. The one where we sit there at the keyboard and stare at our best story and then we say it only loud enough for us to hear - that sad old phrase.

“I’m probably not their “CUP O” TEA.” I’ll just go to the workshops and skip the pitch sessions. I was gonna do it last year and I got nervous, it wouldn’t do me any good anyhow, so…”

FIRST, you must stop beating yourself up for a few moments and ask question number one. If Peter Lynch and Christine Witthohn didn’t believe last year’s sessions were successful, why are they running back? They aren’t paid presenters so it isn’t for any financial reward other than adding to their stable and last year they did just that.

SECOND. Why are they encouraging their friends to come? Christine Witthohn saw an abundance of untapped talent in the area of Inspirational Writing and Inspirational Romance and mentioned this to me and Kelly Mortimer. Next thing you know, Kelly’s willing to come and folks, she is just great. Plus, I think when Kelly and Christine get together, the energy level increases 500%.

THIRD. Kaylan Adair is bringing so much to the table in the form of a professional children’s editor, her sessions are “must see” events.

FOUR. The Agents and Editors Forum. If you’re nervous about pitching, we have a forum planned that will act as an icebreaker to show you how accessible these folks can be. They all understand how pre-published authors feel AND they also understand the Mother Lode of hidden talent in this group. Right after the forum, Christine will give a fail-safe class on pitching. Still not sure? Then Kelly will give a class on writing that agents want to see.

Agents and Editors don’t come to our conference every year and at a cost of only $10 dollars per pitch, you could pitch the same project more than once. (THE ODDS JUST DOUBLED)

Have you read what genre all of these folks are seeking? (IT’S LIKE EVERYTHING EXCEPT . . . WELL, IT’S EVERYTHING…)

Another thing…sshhh…..ALL OF THESE AGENTS WANTED TO ATTEND THE AWARDS BANQUET…..THINK ABOUT THAT WHILE YOU’RE SENDING YOUR PITCH REQUEST.

It’s easy. Just send an email to : rwhite_writes@cfl.rr.com and request one or more pitch sessions and specify that the session is to be with Peter Lynch, Kelly Mortimer, or Christine Witthohn….or ALL OF THEM…at just $10 each, you couldn’t get an agent at these prices at WALMART, or K-Mart, or Southern States!!!

We’re waiting for your call NOW……

See, I told you it was important! It’s all for you!
