I’ve been writing my book's pitch for the upcoming Writers Digest Conference in New York City. I think it’s pretty good. Everyone will have a chance to pitch their book in 90 seconds to 50 Agents, from all over the country. It must be short and sweet, and make an agent want to know more about my book. Here is the pitch:
“My name is (insert name here) and my novel is called Confessions of an Internet Pornographer. It is a story inspired by actual events, and about a man from the Bronx who builds a XXX Website with his family named Fantasiesonline.com. A voyeur Web site dedicated to the secret romantic, risqué and XXX fantasies of its members. It is the story of their crazy ride in the world of Internet porn.
My main characters name is Joselito Torres. He’s a gypsy cab driver in the Bronx, who lives with his wife, two kids, and his mother in a two bedroom apartment the book span’s a four year period, between 1998 and 2002, during the .com boom and bust. This is the story of how a cab driver, a cop, and two housewives transformed themselves into successful XXX entrepreneurs, while still maintaining their faith and love for one another.
The story was inspired by actual events, although the real story has a much more humble ending, It is my story, I am the former Web master and owner of Fantasies online.com, I ran it with my wife and her two Jewish parents.
I have been writing for 15 years, I’ve had three no-fiction articles published, and I take writing classes at the UCLA extension. I also have a blog, named which I love named Writer in the Wind, at writerinwind.blogspot.com (Give them business card). Thank you very much.”
What do you think? Wish me luck.
Love,
Lucho
