Romance Writer Weekly authors are sharing a Twitter pitch for most their most recent releases or work in process. Daunting or Fun?
Readers probably aren’t aware, but authors “sell” their book or idea for a novel to a publisher, editor or agent using a sentence or two. It’s kinda like the descriptions you see about a movie on the cable guide screen.
For me, writing a pitch is akin to having a root canal. Nerve wracking and you never know if it will be a success. What one person might love, another will give you a blank stare. Here it goes for my most recent release, Hot as Blazes.
A disgraced surfer redeems herself as a firefighter and falls for one of her crew, but will her ex seek payback for sending him to prison?
Please check out Betty Bolte’s pitch who follows me on the hop. And if you haven’t If you haven’t already visited Xio Axelrod, go back and catch her post.
Well, you got me wondering. How does a surfer disgrace herself?

I think this is good, Dani. Is this what I’ve been seeing on Twitter as #pitchwars?

Thanks, Teresa. I’m guessing it is. Probably the reason the Romance Writers blog group came up with it as a topic for our weekly post.
