PREMISE PITCH

MY BOY COLE HAMELS. MAN CAN HE PITCH. AND HE'S HOT. HA CHA CHA!

HE'S THE PERFECT PITCH

But I digress. The PREMISE PITCH  is another way to hook someone, agents and editors to be precise, on the PREMISE of your book. According to CJ Lyons, the inspiration for these posts, it should be no more than 25 words.

It describes your plot, intrigues the readers, and gives off some sort of emotional tug. Movie summaries are great examples. You know, when you press info and that little blurb comes up.

No character names here. It's short and to the point and must leave the reader, agent, or whoever, needing to know more about your story.

Remember, these are ideas for writing conferences and events. We went over the elevator pitch yesterday. These are tools for you to have in your asrenal. When and where to use them is for you to figure out.

TWLIGHT:

The new girl in school is befriended by a hunk.  He’s a vampire, who wants to kiss and eat her at the same time.

My PREMISE PITCH for BY GRACE ALONE:

His wife left him and their son. Her husband died and she's pregnant. Can these childhood friends and first loves rekindle more than their friendship?

What do you have for me? I want to see your pitches.
