My book is almost here! What a journey.
My fear warned me against setting such a high pre-order goal publicly for my pre-order book campaign. I was listening to it for a little while, but, then did what faith driven, risk taking, big thinkers do… I set the goal anyway!
300 preorders and “bestseller” are big goals to hit for a first time author, but if we don’t shoot for the moon, how will we ever touch the stars? I should say that creating a pitching book to help teach content creators how to effectively pitch their projects so that more diverse stories (especially those of minority and women) are told around the world is a big deal! It’s certainly not the norm, and is timely, and important.
Your support of my book means everything to me. So far, I’ve pre-sold 118 books for #100Pitches: Mistakes I’ve Made So You Don’t Have To — which is already more than most first time authors do — but I want to reach my goal of 300. It’s what I prayed and am believing for! That means I still have to pre-sell 182 more books before my book is published on 4/7/17. And guess what? I believe it’s possible! All things are possible! So, will you help me reach my goal?

Here is a quick pitching tip for reaching out for a pitch meeting via email:
“Give the working title and a brief, generic synopsis of your show with a few themes.
When you are not represented and are making a connection to a network or production company, most do not want a synopsis until after you have signed a release form. But when you are enticing the buyer you can show how their audience will connect to your show by giving a generic but enticing synopsis. In other words, you can spell out a problem that the characters would find themselves in in your project. Your synopsis will tell the themes of the project without necessarily saying, “The themes of my show are…”
An example I can use is Sex In The City. If I was sending an email to a perspective buyer, I might say:
“Imagine a show that shows women living out their sexual exploits with no holds barred. No judgment right? Well, the four women in Sex In The City experiences love, pain, orgasms, and even a sexually transmitted disease or two in this 1 hour Dramedy…”
