Pitch Sessions With Champagne Book Group (CBG)

Every year during the Promo Day event, a group of publishers take part in pitch sessions. These publishers are on the look out for talented authors with the right manuscript. 

How the pitch sessions work:

1) Participating publishers post their submission guidelines to the event forums.

2) Registered Promo Day attendees can then send them their pitch.

3) The publishers send back a reply THE SAME DAY. That's right, no waiting weeks, months, or even years for a reply. They let you know during the event if they are interested or not.

4) If the publisher is interested they will then guide you through the next steps in the process.

Champagne Book Group (CBG):

Champagne Book Group (CBG) is one of the publishers taking pitches during the 2017 event on Saturday 6th May.

About CBG:

Champagne Book Group (CBG) has been open and publishing electronic fiction since 2004. Its origins began as a Canadian publisher.

Now under a new owner, CBG is a United States publisher with the goal and vision to deliver to readers quality books crafted with care and infused with passion that transport readers into imagination.

CBG authors write stories that transport readers to other worlds, to the past, to the future, lets them enjoy romance, find love, discover what it’s like to be a Bond or Bourne and ride in a spaceship as it zips through the stars.

We are primarily a digital publisher; however, books over 70,000 go into print within three (3) months after the digital release. We are a royalty-paying publisher.

At this time, we are not looking at manuscripts under 20,000 words unless we are doing a special call or looking for stories for an anthology.

 

Champagne Books has many lines that relate to the types of Champagne available for drinking. Check out the submissions guidelines.

Clay Gilbert To Present Webinar At #PromoDay2016

Clay Gilbert returns to present Getting Your Manuscript In Shape for Submission during the Promo Day 2016 event on Saturday 14th May.

Bio:

Clay Gilbert has been hearing the voices of aliens, vampires, and people from the future since about the age of four.  It wasn't long before he started to think taking notes on what they said might be a good idea.  This has led him many places—through the halls and classrooms of many schools, where he's been both in front of the teacher's desk and behind it, himself—to presenter's podiums at conventions, and, most often, to the comfortable chair behind his writing desk at home, where he uses his Dell computer as both a beacon and a translator for the voices that still find their way through from countless worlds and planes of existence. Clay is the author of Annah: Children of Evohe, Book One, Dark Road to Paradise, and Eternity, as well as the Chief Editor for PDMI Publishing.  These days, the place he calls home is Knoxville, Tennessee, where his cat, Bella, and his ball python, Andy, keep him company between visits from a teenaged alien named Annah, an undead, blood-drinking English professor named Martin Cabot, and a boy from the future named Eternity.  And it's a good thing, too—life is busy.  And Clay's still taking notes.

Out of the webinar:

Overview: So You Think You’re Ready To Publish—Let’s See

1)     What Do Editors—and Audiences—Look For? Does My Manuscript Have It?

a)     Completed manuscript—captivating opening, satisfying story development, compelling wrap-up and ending

b)     Well-developed and interesting characters—the character determines the events; the character compels the reader

c)     Internal logic—does everything make sense?

d)     Fresh ideas—or at least a new spin on old archetypes or classic situations

2)     Assessing Your Draft—Ready—Set—Go?

a)     Don’t submit a first draft.  Let it sit; get some distance.

b)     Polish—if it’ll shine up a car, it’ll shine up your story

c)     Revise—sometimes the BEST way to say something isn’t the first way we think of    

3)  It’s a Pitch, but Is It a Hit?  Learning how to Shape Your Submission

a)     Importance of a synopsis—be able to boil down your book into a paragraph summary.  Your reader—and your editor—only have so much time.  Put the best points of your book forward.

Summation: Once you’ve dealt with these aspects of polishing and packaging your work, you’re ready to submit—and hopefully, to publish!
