Hello All -
I would love to hear your experience with "the pitch process."
Last week I spoke with my agent, and she said that my manuscript is finally ready (there were many problems with it, which are now fixed, I hope) and that she is compiling a "pitch list" and getting ready to start pitching it this week.
I didn't want to sound like the n00b that I am and pester her with more questions. Of course, I'm sure that I will anyway. But while I wait, I'd love to hear what the pitch process entailed for you.
How long did it take? How did your agent communicate with you about it? How were you informed of the sale? When did you get paid? Was there an auction? Did you have to sign anything in person? Pretty much any details that you can offer.
And yes, I know that it is highly highly HIGHLY unlikely that my book will sell, but I'm still strangely optimistic.
