I found this tweet today from Agent Jessica Sinsheimer.

Most authors miss this when pitching their books--or don't even know it's an option! Here's how to present your project's selling points in a way agents will love, from literary agent and book publicist @DAWNMICHELLEPR: vimeo.com/316694321 @MSWLMA
After which I came up with this selling point for my novel on nuns. Here it is:
“This novel should appeal to the 2.19 billion Christians in the world, and in particular to the 1.2 billion who are Catholics because it deals with a fundamental aspect of faith namely: does God in effect speak to his elect as claimed, so should others therefore obey?”
What do you think?
Have you discovered your selling point?
To make your plight easier, if you listen to the video, you’ll see it’s all to do with figures and the dollar sign.
