I'm thrilled to be almost finished with this contract! Just tweaking and line edits left.
So, I had the fun realization tonight, now that the novel is close to its final form, that I KNOW the Hollywood pitch for it.
Here are the Hollywood pitches for my previous two novels:
Fairer than Morning -
Nicholas Nickelby meets Uncle Tom's Cabin
Sweeter than Birdsong -
Amazing Grace meets The King's Speech
And...drum roll...here's the pitch for Lovelier than Daylight -
Much Ado About Nothing meets Our Town...with bombs.
:-)
What are your novels' Hollywood pitches?

What a cute and fun idea - making a Hollywood pitch for your novel. The next time I land a book contract, I'll keep this technique in mind. When you use popular movies in your pitch, you might garner readers who enjoy those movies! :-)
I hope you have a blessed day!
I love Much Ado meets Our Town...with bombs??? lol! Fun stuff. I'll have to think some pitches for mine.
Have a wonderful Easter, Rosslyn!
That's a fun concept... pairing Hollywood titles to convey a storyline. I'd have to give mine some thought. I'm not much of a movie-goer, so it's a challenge.
Off topic... I have to repeat how much I like your covers, Rosslyn. They really are exceptional!
I love this idea. Going to play with it today. B/c as we discussed, it's good to keep my mind busy. :D
Love what you came up with! And as always, loved our talk!

Cecelia, you're right about the movies! That's probably why I like the pitch for Sweeter than Birdsong best.
Loree and Wendy - I'm looking forward to hearing yours sometime.
Carol - Thank you! My cover designer really did an excellent job: I'm grateful for her.
Very creative! I've toyed with a few pitches like these. What do you think about this one:
When The Diary of Anne Frank collides with Little House on The Prairie, life as you know it has ended.
Amazing Grace meets the King's Speech - wow!!!! That one really strikes me because those are two of my favorite movies and it puts my brain to work thinking of all the possiblities! I'll have to try this with my stories. Thanks for the visit to my blog a few days ago, I've missed you but I know how busy you must be!
TC and Margo, thanks for coming by! It's good to be talking again. It was lonely in deadline land. :-)
