So sorry I'm late to get back to you but between work crisis, kids games, and then ZERO internet tonight, well, let's just say I was screwed!<br /><br />Agent/Editor Shop is super friendly. I know I'd be tongue-tied if I had to pitch in person! Terri, I agree with you! Public speaking - Pie. One on one pitch - instant ice sculpture!<br /><br />That's kinda where the idea of Agent/Editor Shop came from. And as much as I claim to love my delete button, I'll be honest... I love helping fellow writers more! Don't EVER be afraid to contact me!<br /><br />Thank you all for your kind comments, but truly, at Musetracks, we're just trying to pay it forward. We were lucky to find each other and an amazing writing community to support us along our rocky roads.<br /><br />Huge thanks to Terri for having me! Much love, my dear! You rock!Candi Wallhttp://www.candiwallbooks.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-416913236621309814.post-50558693094983378522013-05-13T21:59:01.714-04:002013-05-13T21:59:01.714-04:00Gods, sorry crew!

I love in person pitches the best of all!<br /><br />I'm not kidding. <br /><br />I'd rather be able to face-to-face pitch and sell. Part of what I'm selling is me, and the best person to do that is me. Not my email. <br /><br />Second favorite is FB pitching. Did a three line one on that and got a request. It was fun.<br /><br />Cold pitching is hell.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01517092592545660754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-416913236621309814.post-22527253935034160752013-05-13T10:46:41.287-04:002013-05-13T10:46:41.287-04:00See, Janga, after all your years of teaching, it s...See, Janga, after all your years of teaching, it should be easy. But it's so different. I could stand on a stage in front of 5K screaming fans (screaming for the act I'm about to introduce, not me) and love it. Sitting down with one agent or editor puts the fear of God into me.<br /><br />Crazy!Terri Osburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17176989488447450585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-416913236621309814.post-87817054080441768332013-05-13T10:44:31.809-04:002013-05-13T10:44:31.809-04:00What a great opportunity and how generous of Candi...What a great opportunity and how generous of Candi and her co-hostesses to provide it! <br /><br />I've written my share of query letters, but I probably would faint if I had to do an in-person pitch.

This project must take up a ton of time.<br /><br />Oddly enough, I spent years live on the radio with no problem, but get so nervous before an in-person pitch, I nearly pass out. Needless to say, opportunities like this, to pitch virtually, felt way less stressful to me.<br /><br />The irony here is that I landed my agent with the biggest train wreck of an in-person pitch you could imagine. Goes to show, even if you're not at your best, the results can be positive.Terri Osburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17176989488447450585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-416913236621309814.post-2514195733948452212013-05-13T09:08:50.251-04:002013-05-13T09:08:50.251-04:00Hi Candi!

I signed up to the Newletter to keep tabs pitch days. :)<br /><br />I've pitched online, in person, and I've sent queries over email. I'm an equal opportunity pitcher. Whatever gets me in front of someone when I have something to sell. Which I don't really right now.<br /><br />Maybe in a few months.<br /><br />This is a great opportunity though. Thanks for putting this together. And thanks, Ter, for spreading the word! Marnee Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01533816213473440342noreply@blogger.com
