Writing the Perfect Pitch

March 29, 2018 Kristin Yates Leave a comment

We all struggle with cover letters, pitches, and elevator speeches. Luckily, Electric Literature has a handy new chart! Channel your inner publicist for the perfect pitch.

Mine, if you are wondering, according to this handy chart, is this: A darkly comic page-turner, about a morally-compromised woman’s scheme to confront privilege. Which, it turns out, is not a bad elevator pitch, as it turns out.

Submit, submit, submit!

Feeling a little lost trying to figure out where to submit your work? Overwhelmed by too many choices? Not sure how to find the best markets for your work? Me, too. This is all of us! So let’s figure it out together. Fellowships, literary festivals, publishing markets: let’s get some work out the door, friends.
