    Hi, all.

    I’m working on a Police Procedural Crime novel. This is the pitch I came up with:

    Did the ghost of a historic literary giant commit murder, or was Adam Parkman killed for more…earthly reasons?

    Ooh. This is certainly a tell me more Q. I’m intrigued. Who is the literary giant? Is there a supernatural element? And if not, then who?

    One thing as you go forward – it would be great to have a name in the pitch (so the lit giant – name them), and then maybe add the name and profession of the person who will figure all this out (the protagonist). The more specific you can be in the hooky pitch the better.

    I would certainly like to know more.
