Summary:

I have three minutes apiece to pitch-slam agents about my novel, Client Relations, this Saturday afternoon. That means roughly 15-30 seconds to sell the story concept to an agent after I get asked, "What's your book about?" I've come up with the following short short short spoken pitch. I'm assuming (hoping) that once I make the opening pitch -- I'll be talking, not handing a document to an agent to read, like a query letter -- I may have the opportunity to go into slightly more detail to really "sell it." Assuming I've piqued the interest of the agent, that is. So... If you've read any of my chapters, please let me know if you think this works. And if you haven't, does this pitch make you want to read the book? Any help or comments would be greatly appreciated!! Thank youuuuuuu!!!

Summary:

"We Own The President" (set a few years in future; 116,000 words) Why it’s unique: father-daughter buddy story meets 007-type thriller... Harry Evans works for secret government agencies, sees himself as the last line of defense against the evil people in the world. He’s good at it. Kate Evans, studying for an MBA at Wharton, is contemptuous of her father and has as little to do with him as possible. After all, he’s nothing but a killer... Readers get a big swirling thriller--mad-genius twins try to "own the President"--plus entertaining inter-generational conflict. Harry Evans, daughter Kate, and her friend Carmen are increasingly in the center of the vortex, not sure what is real or where their loyalties should be. The country is coming apart. President Simpson declares war on Mexico, and hints at worst. Kate and Harry, alone against the world, start to function as partners -- but don’t try to tell Kate that. The question is, can these two alphas stop squabbling long enough to save the country from a conspiracy to seize control of the president and to accomplish this in a way that conceals what has happened. Any feedback is welcome.
