However, I think the additional information may distract from the true intent of your pitch with the disclaimer, and the info about he outline. BUT I like that bit of resource. Just not in the pitch. Does that make any sense?Pamela Courtneynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1007703247358638748.post-13337094291035559762015-01-29T21:27:30.503-05:002015-01-29T21:27:30.503-05:00I have to admit I was curious about the chocolate ...I have to admit I was curious about the chocolate and even though I'm late, I had to come check it out!! It looks delish!<br /><br /><br />I enjoyed Erin's comments. I always learn from her :-)<br /><br /><br />As to the pitch-When I saw the age, I wondered about the market for PB for this age group. But the subject matter is something most kids that age can relate to. I think if you think outside the box, this could be a PB with a story as well as a sort of nonfiction resource. I like that you're going to have an outline that readers can follow and create along with Connor. <br /><br /><br />You have some great advice in previous comments, Maria, so I'll stop there.<br /><br /><br />Susanna, I hope your warm :-)pennyklostermannnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1007703247358638748.post-28181855595121156862015-01-29T19:11:53.610-05:002015-01-29T19:11:53.610-05:00Hee hee, you'll have to use your magical power...Hee hee, you'll have to use your magical powers more often or write your posts ahead to time. :-)Tracy Campbellhttp://www.tracycampbell.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1007703247358638748.post-29017735511410854042015-01-28T23:39:03.182-05:002015-01-28T23:39:03.182-05:00Thanks!
