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.
