Can you say what your book is about in 25 words of less? This is essential to both writing a tight book and selling it. We will discuss ways to find and state your original idea so that you stay on course while writing the book and excite those you tell when trying to sell it.

Bob Mayer is the NY Times Best-Selling author of over 35 books, both fiction and nonfiction with over 3 million books in print. He is the author of The Novel Writers Toolkit: A Guide to Writing Great Fiction and Getting It Published. His bestselling novels include The Atlantis Lost Series and Don’t Look Down and Agnes & the Hitman written with Jennifer Crusie.
