On a scale of one to ten, how much do you dread presenting?

Nine? Ten? Worse?? Would you in fact almost rather die than pitch? Has your anxiety about pitching in public had you sweating through meetings and fluffing your lines, leaving you rueing that acquisition that wasn’t approved or the publication that was meekly launched?

Learn how to get the agreement of your colleagues and inspire others with your pitch and not dread doing it, ever again. Pitching for Publishers will show you (in a distinctly bookish way) how to use your own personality and your own voice, to acquire and launch the books you want to, without fear.
