Loved this, Jess! Sounds like a blast and this is such wise advice. Totally resonate with your points about aiming for nourishing connected conversations in moments that might otherwise be stale and salesy.
And I love your points about the value of getting to share stories multiple times... I met ten editors when I was pitching my last book and those conversations were so generous and generative - by the end of the process I felt like I could finally see what I was trying to do!
Thank you so much, Matt. I remembered you saying about learning so much from the pitching process... I feel like it gets a really bad rep but it can be such a positive and nourishing experience! Thanks as always for your insights. xx
