Wednesday, December 8th, we embark on a road trip to San Francisco to pitch our book projects to
Chronicle Books. "We" includes Beth Thompson, our fearless leader and all-around encourager for
Inspire Christian Writers;
Dee Aspinall, fellow dog lover and contributing author in
The Dog Next Door; and
Stephanie Porter, picture book writer and new to Inspire.
For the first time ever Chronicle is holding a
Pitch for Charity. We pitch our books and toss a donation to
Habitat for Humanity. Good deal for everyone. The children's publishing group will be reviewing picture books only. Good for me and Stephanie who have PB's to pitch.
I will be pitching
The Veggie Chronicles: The Prisoner of Carrot Castle. Like a typical kid, Aiden didn't like veggies and his overactive imagination often transported him from dinner table to far away places. On one occasion he found himself a prisoner in Carrot Castle. Dazed and confused, he made a startling discovery. This fun story follows Aiden as he attempts to escape before he has to face the angry king of Carrot of Castle. Will the ugly, scary guard chain Aiden to the prison cell wall? Does he get found out as he hides from guards searching for him in the castle? Will Aiden have to face the angry King? Does Aiden eat his vegetables?
Those of us who labor at writing know it's not often we get an opportunity to submit our work to publishers much less get a one-on-one chance to pitch a book project to an editor. I'm practicing my pitch and hoping for success for our intrepid band of writers. Stay tuned...
