Anyone who's been in the writing business for a while knows about the elevator pitch. It's the super-short version of the book you've written, the single sentence you'd use to convince an agent or editor to give the manuscript a read if you happened to be stuck on an elevator together -- or, as is more frequently the case, when you're allotted two minutes to chat with an agent or editor at a writers' conference.
Cecile's Writers is always looking and interested in fresh ideas about writing. Today I read Marc Schuster's "Using the Elevator Pitch for Editing" and found his view very insightful. Hope you enjoy!
