JW Members Only – elevator pitches please!
Hello JW members
As per my email – can I have your elevator pitches please for the webinar next week. Webinar info here:
https://members.jerichowriters.com/content/perfecting-your-elevator-pitch-with-harry-bingham/
(That link does work – I’ve just checked it – but you do need to be logged in to the JW site to see it.)
Rules for the elevator pitch:
- One submission per person please
- JW members only (sorry everyone else – but this is a members only event)
- Max 50 words per pitch
- But aim for less. Most pitches can be done in <20 words, and often <10
Hope to see loads of you at the webinar. I’m looking forward to it myself …

In Victorian Liverpool, a gullible youth wants money. A violent thief wants an accomplice. The police want justice. But what is justice?
My elevator pitch – my first ever attempt at one – first novel, too:
“Norwegian actor of Sámi descent falls in love with married British publicist 11 years his senior. Culture clashes, prejudice, lies, ethnically-motivated violence, discrimination and ultimately uplifting love, with a magical arctic flavour. Welcome to ‘The Light of Kautokeino’!”
