The Warner Grand Theatre is a lavish, art-deco theater opened to the public on January 20, 1931 during the magical decades for films in the 1920s and 1930s. Jack Warner called it "The Castle of Your Dreams." The Warner Grand Theatre was designed by architect B. Marcus Priteca and interior designer A.T. Heinsbergen. Mr. Priteca designed three lavish art-deco palaces which were located in San Pedro, Beverly Hills, and Huntington Park.

Word Horde Book Pitch
Page (event specific)

SATURDAY, 4/25 FROM 11 AM - 1 PM

Ross Lockhart of Word Horde Press, will be listening to book pitches. If your pitch doesn't work, Ross will take a few minutes to help you fine tune it, so that it has a better shot next time you pitch it. Authors will have a better understanding of how to focus their ideas and summarize them in a commercially viable way. This is a rare opportunity to spend a little time with a respected publisher. If you're shopping a book, this is a great opportunity!

Please sign up for a time slot using the form below. We'll email you to confirm.
