12.23: Proposals, Pitches, and Queries
Your Hosts: Brandon, Mary, Dan, and Howard
Let’s talk about selling your stuff. In this episode we discuss query letters, pitches, and proposals—the tools that you use to present your material to people who can pay you for it, and who will partner with you in the task of selling it to the general public.
Liner Notes: This episode pairs very nicely with episode 11.50, “Hand-Selling Your Book,” with Michael R. Underwood.
Credits: this episode was recorded in Cosmere House Studios by Dan Dan the Audioman Thompson, and mastered deep beneath a rugby pitch by Alex Jackson.
Homework: Write a pitch. Memorize it. Get other people to stamp your “I pitched my story to you” card. (link leads to a printable PDF)
Thing of the week: Code Name Verity, by Elizabeth Wein, narrated by Morven Christie and Lucie Gaskell.
