The Pitch Queen

A hilarious send-up of the publishing business and a delight for readers who love books about books. If "Yellowface" and "Book Lovers" had a baby, it would be named "The Pitch Queen.". Claire Wyld, a literary agent, is the queen of the flashy pitch and is fighting to be the number one dealmaker in debut novels. But her plan hits a snag when a long-time rival woos away a would-be client who would put her on top. To make matters worse, a problem with her late mom’s estate lands her in coastal Georgia. How is she going to find her next seven-figure superstar in Gull Island a.k.a. Dull Island? Claire befriends Philip, a grieving widower and antiquarian book dealer, who’s found great solace in novels and holds a romanticized view of Claire’s job.. Claire loves seeing this version of herself through his soulful eyes and doesn’t disabuse him of his wildly inaccurate notion. The longer she stays in Gull Island, the more she questions her business model. At some point, Claire must decide if the thrill of seven-figure deals is worth the toll on her relationships, her values, and her literary legacy.
