Late to the pitch party but loving this podcast so far. Pitches ARE the worst! I'm a bookseller and a writer, and sometimes I find I can pitch a book I like so much easier than pitching a story of my own.
I think both pitches are fabulous! I can't wait for 2023! And it was so helpful to hear you two break down your thought process because pitches are THE WORST! I always say that it took me 80k words to tell the story, how can you expect me to summarize it in ten?! But it's a very useful tool to have in your belt.
I only have one thing that is super nit-picky because your pitches are so good. For Nightbirds I'd recommend cutting the words "on you" just to keep the pitch as concise as possible. "Can bestow magic with a kiss" I think still conveys the intended meaning.
An awesome episode! Really enjoyed hearing about your friendship and your amazing books. Magic given through a kiss! Gimme, gimme!
I loved hearing the pitch putting together process too! You're books both sound so intriguing and it's particularly cool seeing why certain pitches did or didn't work!
With Amie's- I wonder if there is a way of getting the gangster thing in there- that was something in the discussion that really peaked my interest.
I love the Great Gatsby vibe in Kate's! One thing that came up in the discussion that I really liked was the term "sisterhood". I wonder if you said "" An underground sisterhood of girl who can..." instead of 'crew' whether that might give a hint of the feminist vibes? Maybe?
Can't wait for the next episode. Love hearing about where authors get their ideas and how they come together!
Really excited about this podcast series. Based on your pitches, I'd definitely pick up both books! During the podcast, you talked about a pitch being 'x meets y', so I wondered why you decided to settle on longer pitch 'sentences' instead?
Super excited about both these books and this podcast! I’m especially excited about Nightbirds. I have an idea for a similar kind of story but it’s so hard to find good fantasy books with that kind of setting to help me figure out how to do it!!
Guys, basically I just need both books STAT!! *GIMME HANDS*
Also, you both were absolutely adorable as wee babies!! 😍🥰😻
