650 - 800 word pitches
have scenes in mind
or at least the possibility of scenes
keep pitches tight with simple narrative
what's the conceptual schoop? What's the thinky bit? You want to have some element of depth, some other layer to get to.
is it a WIRED story? what makes it a wired story? Or whatever your publisher is
how do you fake a scene? set up a fake scene. start close to a detail and pull out, why is what you're watching important. You're dollying past it.
You may have to go back and say, hey, what happened that day? Who said that? how did you feel? That must have been really weird?
