The Book Doctors, aka,
Arielle Eckstut and David Henry Sterry, authors of The Essential Guide to Getting Your Book Published, will be making
a house call at Farley’s Bookshop 44 South Main Street, New Hope, PA. They want YOU to
pitch your book at their acclaimed event, Pitchapalooza, which was recently
featured in The New York Times, and in a mini-documentary
for Newsday. Pitchapalooza is like American
Idol for books--only without the Simon.
20 to 25 randomly selected writers get one minute to pitch their book
ideas to an all-star panel of publishing experts. The winner receives an
introduction to an appropriate agent or publisher for his/her book. In the last
three months alone, three winners have received publishing deals. Plus, anyone
who buys a book gets a free consultation worth $100. In the last month three Pitchapalooza winners have gotten
book deals!
Arielle
Eckstut has been a literary agent for 18 years. She is also the author of seven
books and the co-founder of the iconic brand, LittleMissMatched. David Henry

authors. They’ve appeared everywhere from NPR’s Morning Edition to USA

Here’s what people are saying
about The Essential Guide To Getting Your
Book Published:
“I started with nothing but an
idea, and then I bought this book. Soon I had an A-list agent, a near six-figure
advance, and multiple TV deals in the works. Buy it and memorize it. This
little tome is the quiet secret of rockstar authors.”—New York Times
best-selling author Timothy Ferris, The 4-Hour Workweek: Escape 9-5, Live
Anywhere, and Join the New Rich,
"It is a must-have for every
aspiring writer… thorough, forthright quite entertaining.”—Khaled Hosseini, New
York Times bestselling author of the Kite Runner
“Before you write your own book,
read this one first.”—Jonathan Karp, editor-in-chief, Simon and Schuster
