Senior editor Claudia Gabel describes the importance of a good pitch and how to blend the familiar and the unexpected. She defines a pitch as the concept of your book. The formula for a great pitch is familiarity plus wow-factor. Familiarity means that there are themes or a world that is recognizable and will resonate with readers. The wow-factor is what makes your story unique and is new to the reader. Gabel provides examples of this formula at work in bestselling books, such as "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants" and "The Hunger Games."</div><div class='asl-wikipage-media'><a href="https://www.authorlearningcenter.com/cfs-file/__key/communityserver.wikis.components.files/00-00-00-01-36/ALCATEClaudiaGabelBuildingKeyConceptsDevelopingYourPitch.mp4">www.authorlearningcenter.com/.../ALCATEClaudiaGabelBuildingKeyConceptsDevelopingYourPitch.mp4</a></div></div><div style="clear:both;"></div> <div style="font-size: 90%;">Tags: fiction, Nonfiction, Subscriber, video</div>
