Attention all unpublished writers: Pitchapalooza is coming to Westhampton Beach! Books & Books will be hosting Arielle Eckstut and David Henry Sterry, authors of The Essential Guide to Getting Your Book Published – aka “The Book Doctors” – to make your dreams come true! At Pitchapalooza, 20 participants, selected at random, are given 60 seconds – no more, no less! – to pitch their book idea to veterans of the publishing industry. You’ll get a critique on everything from pitch to style to presentation. At the session’s end, one lucky writer is chosen to meet with a literary agent to discuss the book’s future. So start working on that pitch! But make sure to heed Sterry’s advice: “Don’t tell me your book is sad; make me cry. Don’t tell me your book is funny; make me laugh.”
