MIAMI PITCHAPALOOZA!!! The Book Doctors + BOOKS&BOOKS, MAY 7
Saturday, May 7 | 2:00 – 3:30 p.m.
Pitchapalooza with The Book Doctors!
Pitchapalooza, aka the American Idol for books (only without Simon) works like this: Anyone with an idea for a book has the chance to pitch it to a panel of judges. But they get only one minute. Eckstut and Sterry team up with two guest industry insiders to form the judging panel. The Judges critique everything from idea to style to potential in the marketplace and much, much more. Whether potential authors pitch themselves, or simply listen to trained professionals critique each presentation, Pitchapaloozas are educational and entertaining for one and all. At the end of each Pitchapalooza, the judges come together to pick a winner. The winner receives an introduction by Eckstut and Sterry to an agent or publisher that is appropriate for their work.

Fun, Kind & Wise Agent Betsy Lerner Joining Book Doctors @ Miami Book Festival
Betsey Lerner, top agent, editor & author, will be holding court with the Book Doctors November 11 at the Miami Book Fair International. We are honored to be sharing a stage with her, as she is a font of illumination in the cold scary world of publishing. Her book, Forest for the Trees, is a must-read for anyone who’s even remotely interested in books. And if you are a writer, you’re crazy not to learn from her wisdom. http://bit.ly/d9t6jn

Here’s what people are saying about The Essential Guide To Getting Your Book Published:
“I started with nothing but an idea, and then I bought this book. Soon I had an A-list agent, a near six-figure advance, and multiple TV deals in the works. Buy it and memorize it. This little tome is the quiet secret of rockstar authors.”—New York Times best-selling author Timothy Ferris, The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live Anywhere, and Join the New Rich,
“It is a must-have for every aspiring writer… thorough, forthright quite entertaining.”—Khaled Hosseini, New York Times bestselling author of the Kite Runner
“Before you write your own book, read this one first.”—Jonathan Karp, editor-in-chief, Simon and Schuster
