OC Christian Writers Conference attendees can choose from three different sessions being led by Kathie, all designed to equip writers with the tools to prepare and present an outstanding book or script pitch.

LOGLINE: A Writer’s Most Valuable Marketing Tool is one of the workshops that provides writers with information and examples (including a class exercise) on crafting a logline – an exciting one or two sentence selling summation of your book or script.

WRITTEN PITCHING TOOLS: Crafting Synopses and Outlines for Pitching Your Project provides novelists and screenwriters with the information and advice on putting together two important written pitching tools – a winning synopsis and pitch outline.

HOW TO DELIVER A HOME-RUN PITCH: 15-Point Checklist for Your Verbal Pitch. In this workshop writers will be given a 15-point checklist to help even the most tongue-tied scribe perfect a verbal pitch suitable for marketing their book or screenplay.

If you are ready to get your work published or produced, then be sure to attend the OC Christian Writers Conference and take Kathie’s Saturday workshops – writers will walk away equipped to deliver a book or script pitch that is sure to be noticed.
