Agent Opportunity: Pitch via Twitter
Calling all aspiring authors with polished manuscripts to sell! The lovely ladies at BookEnds Literary Agency have joined twitter. To celebrate, they’ve announced a new opportunity to pitch your book in 140 characters. Follow @BookEndsJessica and @BookEndsKim this week and be ready for the windup when they ask you to “Start Twitching!” Respond to the agent who announced it with your pitch. Remember, you can use no more than 140 characters and must complete your thought. @ replying to the correct agent takes up valuable space, but you can’t reply to Kim when Jessica sent out the call. Check out their blog for more info.
Let’s practice, shall we? Describe the last book you read in 140 characters:
“Regency star-crossed lovers reunite after botched elopement. Must forgive meddling fathers, realize big misunderstanding & risk hearts again.”
(EVERYTHING AND THE MOON by Julia Quinn)
