One savvy author skill is the ability to deliver your book’s elevator pitch. Every author needs to be able to showcase their book in about 30 to 60 seconds, which is the traditional length of an elevator ride. The elevator pitch is part hook and part summary. The length of a book pitch can vary, depending on who the author is speaking to – i.e. a literary agent, potential reader, or studio executive. If time is limited, a quick pitch should encapsulate the high concept of a book project. The pitch needs to set an author’s project apart from all others. It needs to show relevance and passion. It needs to create irresistible need when exposed to the target audience. And, the elements of a fiction novel pitch will differ greatly from a pitch for a nonfiction book. Below are some examples of published authors pitching their books.
