You\u2019ve just typed \u2018The End\u2019 and you know that this story or article is hands down the best thing you have ever written. I believe you. I do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But before you go attaching your work and bashing out an email where you will tell the recipient that this story will take the world by storm, let\u2019s take a little time to concentrate on arguably the most important part of your road to publication: Your story pitch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With submissions in publishing at an all-time high, with most agents <\/a>receiving around forty to fifty submissions a day, the job of your story pitch is to (as quickly <\/em>as possible) make your story stand out from the crowd.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this guide we will look at how to grab the attention of your pitch reviewer from the minute they open your email.  In just the opening line, we are going to make your reader sit up and take notice of your submission. Not only that, but we\u2019re also going to tell them why it will sell, why they should pick your story above all the other submissions, using the example below of a story pitch template.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, before you go hitting that send button, let\u2019s talk about why getting your story pitch right is important and what you need to do to get it right the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n
