In this interactive session applicable to writers of all levels and genres, we will discuss how to talk about your work in order to achieve a specific goal, such as compelling an agent to ask for pages, getting a reader interested in your themes, or even pitching the media for a story about you or your books. We’ll discuss various examples, brainstorm your writing’s core themes, and do helpful exercises. You’ll leave with tools to try crafting your own one-liners.
