Helpful! I appreciated the advice about being prepared to talk about anything as I have found that after the 'quick pitch,' really, they wanted to talk about other things. Be prepared to be relaxed with people!

Thanks, this is good advice. It was always important to have a short pitch about my work. I will need to develop one about my book.

Good info on having a short pitch for my book and expecting a wide range of questions not necessarily about my book.

Well done Shannon. I agree with the idea of conversations. I recall Oprah said she started out doing just that. Hooe yur boo, goes well. Thank you, Anita Jetnikoff
