Heather Webb – Nailing an Agent-Grabbing Opening
Writer Heather Webb stops by the podcast to give a sneak peek of the four-hour master class she’ll be giving at Colorado Gold, RMFW’s big three-day conference in September.
Her class is called Nailing an Agent-Grabbing Opening and it will give participants a chance to learn what makes an opening grabby, or trite, and how to win an agent’s eye.
Heather also catches us up on all her projects, including a short story collection she spearheaded that was recently reviewed in the New York Times.
Heather Webb’s novels Becoming Josephine and Rodin’s Lover are published by Penguin Random House and have sold in six countries. Both books have received starred national reviews and Rodin’s Lover was a Goodread’s Pick of the Month in 2015. Heather’s works have been featured in national print media including the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Cosmopolitan, Elle, France Magazine, Dish Magazine, the Washington Independent Review of Books, and more

This was a terrific introduction to extrovert author Heather Webb and how she’ll handle the intensive workshop about the challenging topic of pitching. RMFW is lucky to have snagged her. Five pages evaluated by her ahead if time adds even more value. She sounds like a pleasant and generous author.
