This is the Brooklyn Book Festival Bookend Event you writers out there—and there are a lot of you—won’t want to miss. It’s called Pitchapalooza and it’s at the Central branch of the Brooklyn Public Library  on Wednesday from 7-9PM (in the Dr. Steven Dweck Center for Contemporary Culture). Sounds like it might be a good idea to arrive early to sign up because names will be randomly picked to participate.

The Book Doctors and a panel of publishing pundits will give aspiring writers the chance of a lifetime—one minute to pitch their book. Winners get introductions to an agent or publisher. The Book Doctors have helped hundreds of writers get published, so don’t miss this big opportunity. Brooklyn Public Library is offering the runner-up a chance to publish with its new Espresso Book Machine.
