I'll be at the World Wide Freedom Rally in Toronto on September 23rd, where I've been invited to give a 45-second pitch for my novel, Much Ado About Corona: A Dystopian Love Story from the stage.
Forty-five seconds isn't much time to explain why you'd want to read a 500-page novel.
Below are five different versions of a 45-second (thereabouts) pitch I've come up with. Could you listen to each and let me know which one would motivate you to visit my table and check out the novel? You can email me your answer at john@blazingpinecone.com.
1. Culture Leads Politics
2. The Bitter Red Pill
3. Human Brains Love a Good Story
4. A Far-Fetched Novel
5. Monsters Forgotten
Thanks for listening to all five. You can let me know the number of your favourite pitch by sending me an email at john@blazingpinecone.com. (Oh, and if hearing all those pitches made you want to buy a(nother) copy of Much Ado About Corona, you can do so here.
John C. A. Manley is the author of Much Ado About Corona: A Dystopian Love Story, the forthcoming All The Humans Are Sleeping and other works of speculative fiction. Get free samples of his stories by becoming a Blazing Pine Cone email subscriber at: https://blazingpinecone.com/subscribe/
