Pitchapalooza Comes to New Hope, Sept. 10, 1pm
The Book Doctors, aka, Arielle Eckstut and David Henry Sterry, authors of The Essential Guide to Getting Your Book Published, will be making a house call at Farleys Bookshop 44 South Main Street, New Hope, PA. They want YOU to pitch your book at their acclaimed event, Pitchapalooza,which was recently featured in The New York Times, and in a mini-documentary for Newsday. Pitchapalooza is like American Idol for books--only without the Simon. 20 to 25 randomly selected writers get one minute to pitch their book ideas to an all-star panel of publishing experts. The winner receives an introduction to an appropriate agent or publisher for his/her book. In the last three months alone, three winners have received publishing deals. Plus, anyone who buys a book gets a free consultation worth $100. In the last month three Pitchapalooza winners have gotten book deals!
