My first

I’ll be having my first pitch experience this spring when I get to attend (for the 2nd time) the Storymakers Conference in Utah.
 
I’m not nervous yet, but there’s plenty of time for that. :)
 
And really, I’m not even sure what story I’ll pitch. I have a number of manuscripts sitting here and May is a long ways off. And I also started thinking, would it be okay to throw a couple pitches out at one session or is that not right? Something to think about.
 
Anyway, I got very lucky after making a stupid mistake. I’d did my time conversion wrong, Central to Mountain, and I actually registered an hour after registration opened. All pitches were filled at that point. But I got an email in asking to be on the waiting list and I got in that way.
 
What probably happened is that some people signed up for a pitch session AND a manuscript consultation with their agent of choice, and since they got the ms consult, they didn’t need the pitch too. So they dropped out of the pitch list.
 
Yay for me!
 
So what I’m wondering is if you’ve done a pitch, can you tell me about your experience. And any advice would be welcome. :)
