If you're in a meeting with them, they'll probably ask some questions about who you are, but they're not going to expect you to spout off your bio in 30 seconds or anything.Stephanie Morrillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13128389560727867719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-51755115319773131212011-10-07T20:36:05.813-05:002011-10-07T20:36:05.813-05:00Thank you so much for posting this stuff Stephanie...Thank you so much for posting this stuff Stephanie. :) It's totally encouraging me for the day that I actually do this stuff. <br />I'm sure I might be able to talk face to face with an agent someday haha. :D<br /><br />So, do they expect any sort of bio (verbally or on paper)?Jazmine~https://www.blogger.com/profile/06246960020080246030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-55651981790934207652011-10-06T14:18:12.713-05:002011-10-06T14:18:12.713-05:00*Sigh of relief* Okay, I'm just glad I didn&#...*Sigh of relief* Okay, I'm just glad I didn't miss it.Becki Badgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14421459879883678878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-77679654481962759222011-10-03T21:09:55.706-05:002011-10-03T21:09:55.706-05:00Becki, we haven't talked about pitch sheets ye...Becki, we haven't talked about pitch sheets yet.

I wouldn't write your pitch on the back of your hand or anything, but you'll be able to glance at your pitch sheet (which is kind of like a flier for your project).Stephanie Morrillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13128389560727867719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-53112771606770897132011-10-03T15:10:47.802-05:002011-10-03T15:10:47.802-05:00Anonymous, a great pitch can make a mediocre novel...Anonymous, a great pitch can make a mediocre novel SOUND like a great novel :) It's best, of course, if you can follow up a great pitch with a great product.Stephanie Morrillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13128389560727867719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-21609258586094183192011-10-03T14:35:18.112-05:002011-10-03T14:35:18.112-05:00Could really being prepared and knowing your stuff...Could really being prepared and knowing your stuff propel a more mediocre novel to a level of a great novel?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4024721400572472213.post-22892222193861129632011-10-03T14:33:39.889-05:002011-10-03T14:33:39.889-05:00I am SO prcticing these!

I'll probably have get out a timer to make sure I consistenly stay within 30seconds.<br />When I first decided I wanted to make a goal of going to writers conference, not sure when it'll be though, I kept getting caught up in trying to plan my outfits instead of writing. Then, I decided I needed a fashion plot in the name of research :) we'll see where this one takes me. <br />When pitching are you able to have sheets of paper in your hand or on your lap? I'm asking because I wonder if I could work in a cheat sheet in case my brain completely freezes.Tonyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14500897912581589616noreply@blogger.com
