Pitching for the Shy Writer

Rebecca Clark asked me to do a blog about pitching at conference so I adapted my Coffee Talk on Pitching to a blog post. I’m naturally very shy so it was a great fit because her blog is focused on tips for shy writers. I’m hoping there’s a couple of good tips in there and I’ll be hanging around to answer questions.

I’m nervous! It’s like getting ready to teach class.

Pitching with Confidence

Contest at Kimberly Killion's Blog

In honor of the release of her second book, Highland Dragon, Kimberly Killion is having a contest. Kimberly writes Scottish medievals, but she always manages to give each story a unique historical twist! Her One Desire, one of my favorites, was about an executioner’s daughter and features the Tower of London. Enter to win a free copy of Her One Desire or Highland Dragon AND you can even win a 20 page critique of an unpublished manuscript.

Kimberly and I belong to CORE, our chapter’s critique group, so I can vouch that she knows her stuff when it comes to giving constructive feedback! Or if you don’t need one for yourself, the prize is transferable. While you’re there, ogle her graphics. She does them all herself. 🙂

The contest is open until October 13. (Oh, which is Mum’s birthday. I better remember that!)
