Pro Tips

My 2019 Goodreads Reading Challenge goal was 100 books. Unless I'm able to tear through 10 books in the next two weeks (unlikely), I'm not going to meet that goal. 

I’ve worked with hundreds of authors over the years to help them build their profiles and sell books. Some have catapulted themselves into bestsellers, and some have struggled to sell books beyond their friends and family. So what’s the difference? Is it genre? Is it publicity budget?

You prepped your materials, put on your extrovert hat, and attended Wordsmith, but now it’s been over a week, and you’re not sure what else to do. What’s more, Wordsmith 2020 is a whole year away. You don’t want to say one way or another, but you might be panicking.

So you're getting ready to pitch an agent. Nervous? Wondering what to say? The tone in which to say it? Questions you should ask? If it's all even worth it? (Am I getting too real yet?) Try not to worry too much; almost everyone gets nervous to pitch. That's why you've got this post to help.
