I have an editor appointment in July at RWA. I've never done one of these 'pitch sessions' and read somewhere that most editors and agents absolutely loathe them. I don't really feel like I have any viable chance of actually selling anything through it, but thought it would at least be a good learning experience.
Can anyone give me some advice on how to approach it? I'm not a natural self-promoter--a bit too shy, I think. I have a little website where I've got the 'backstory' and such for my books posted. Should I mention it or give the editor my card (which lists the site)? Or should I forget I have it? Anything at all will help since I don't know the first thing about what to do at this event.
I just don't want to make a fool of myself. Well, not a total one.
