Excellent

April 12, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

They say the mark of a great teacher is to be able to distill a complex subject into simple truths. This book accomplishes to delineate the things we love in storytelling in a concise way. A great feat and a terrific achievement. I love this book. It is the best book I've read on pitching my story.

Loved his other books - but this book was kind of primitive and outdated, and anything in between with no good examples in of pitches in all major genres.

AWESOME!

If you want to get to the core of pitching and what it takes to create a pitch, then this the book for you! I had no idea, or experience of what a pitch should have consisted of until I read this book. If you have a pitch fest you're going to attend or pitch meeting you're going to, do yourself a favor and get this book A.S.A.P!!

I can guarantee that after you read this book, you will become enlightened and empowered with new tools to help sell your screenplay. In reality if you are trying to make it, then you have nothing to lose by buying this book.

Ask yourself, "Isn't it worth the risk? What do i have to lose?" trust me, get the book. I am an aspiring screenwriter and this book is a must, and if you haven't already get his other book, "Writing Screenplays That Sell." that book is genius and I love it. I read it every time I write any new spec.

I was confused about the difference between a logline and an elevator pitch. I "think" I understand now. Also a lot of good information in this book.

Mr. Hauge is the real thing. I've heard him interviewed and him giving classes a number of times. He is very insightful, thoughtful, and helpful. He is plain speaking, but he has so much to say. Buy this book read it cover to cover, then listen to hem speak on the web. You will be glad you did. He is a treasure.

60 second pitch

June 21, 2011

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I just finished reading this book and wrote my 1st pitch. I'll be attending a writer's conference in the fall and wanted some information on how to present the book I've been writing for 2 years. Michael Hauge's writing style is simple and concise. While reading this, I felt like he was sitting next to me and coaching me. He writes the way someone speaks, full of examples and stories that make the topic even more interesting. His writing flows like conversation. Let's face it, we all want to be published and in this world it's harder than ever. Take every opportunity you can find to make sure you make it into print or on the screen. This book is a good 1st step.

I checked Michael's website and he offers a lot of services for scriptwriters and other types of writing. If you're writing a book, he can help with that too. I'd like to hire him as a writing coach but the $1,500 price tag is out of my league. If you can afford it, I'd recommend your contacting him. I used the template he wrote in the book to design my pitch. I have a critique group which helps me to hone my wriitng even more.

Buy this book. You'll be amazed at how much you'll learn, not just about writing but about the publishing industry as well. This is a small price to pay for a great deal of knowledge.

A fast and worthy read...

May 30, 2015

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Well written, in a conversational tone. Lots of... "Of course!" and "That makes perfect sense!" moments. I believe good pitching come natural to some who are gifted, but it isn't quite as easy for most. This book can help those people (like me) to bring their pitch up a few notches. It also takes some of the scary and uncertainty regarding your approach, out of the equation. I highly recommend this book.

EXCELLENT -- Best advice I've read about how to pitch a novel

April 15, 2014

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

Excellent advice about how to do what aspiring novelists hate most. Hauge simplifies an otherwise confusing process and reduces it to few elements. He gives one tip on page 14 and 15 that is worth the price of the book alone. This tip helps you organize your thoughts before meeting the agent. The author addresses the book to screenwriters and novelists alike. Even nonfiction authors would find this book immensely helpful. Highly recommend and my thanks to the author.
