Rosemary Clement-Moore to speak Feb. 20 on how to pitch to an agent

As the conference approaches, I've received numerous requests for information on how to pitch your work to an agent.

Member Rosemary Clement-Moore will speak to the group on this topic before read-and-critique at our regular meeting on Wednesday, Feb. 20. If you're going to the conference, you'll want to hear this, whether you're doing a one-on-one pitch session or you're just planning to talk to them at the reception. Agents do appreciate it when the writers they meet know how it works.

In addition, we will provide a room during the first half of critique for those who would like to practice their pitches on a "surrogate agent." This kind of practice is invaluable for a successful meeting with an agent. You only get one chance at making a first impression.

All conference attendees, whether Workshop members or not, are welcome to attend the Feb. 20 meeting to hear Rosemary talk and participate in the practice session.
