“Twitpitches” for writers

Are you using Twitter for pitches?

You should be. In the age of information and information overload, if you connect with someone on a social networking site you have an opportunity for recognition; you rise above the noise.

The Escalator Pitch reports:

“Get to the point. And it applies in almost any business setting, not just on Twitter. It’s no secret that less is more in the age of information overload, no matter how you’re trying to reach people. That’s why Boyd also calls it the escalator pitch. ‘It’s something you can say in 10 seconds while he’s going up the escalator and you’re going down the escalator,’ he says.”
