Description
Drawing of (from left) Arielle Eckstut, Erin Hosier and David Henry Sterry listening to authors' 60-second pitches for books.
At Pitchapalooza, 20 writers were selected randomly at the event to give a one-minute book pitch. Eckstut and Sterry, known as the Book Doctors, critique ideas, style, potential in the marketplace and much more, giving authors concrete advice and a greater understanding of the publishing industry. The winner receives an introduction to an agent or publisher appropriate for their book.
Artist's Note
This couple I ran into in a hallway and I just knew I’d have to make sure to draw them. Very dynamic, very likable. And spot-on helpful in their session.
