Abstract
Whether you’re pitching your own book to an agent or editor or you’re pitching someone else’s book to a customer, you need to immediately grab them. Condensing a complex story into a sentence or two is difficult, but a pitch is more marketing hook than summary - tell them just enough in an intriguing way to get them to ask for more.
