Have you ever been tempted to say “My book is for everyone”?
We get it! It sounds like the perfect way to convince an agent your book is a slam dunk bestseller–right?
Wrong. Realistically, no book is for everyone–and this is a great thing.
We’re happy to join Emma Peters, editor at W.W. Norton, to discuss:
*Why you need to define your audience–and pitch an agent on this reader
*How specificity in your book description is your friend
*What is a “build a book” and why do agents work on them?
*Balancing professionalism, enthusiasm & marketing
*How to use your friends as a focus group
