I know the feeling. Creating my own elevator pitches takes a ton of thought and effort. Ironically, I think writing an elevator pitch is tougher than writing the novel itself in some respects. It's so difficult to distill a complex story with fully realized characters down to a sentence or two that truly reflects the essence of the story. Once you hash out an elevator pitch, though, I found it does make it easier to identify your true audience and market your story to those specific readers.
Yeah, I can definitely see the benefits. I just dread the process! It really is harder than it seems. But you've reminded me that I should work on it some more...
I still haven't managed to come up with a good elevator pitch for my novel. I know I need something, but nothing I try seems to hit the mark.

Wonderful, thanks for the plug bro! Looking forward to seeing what story you put forward for the STRANGE STORIES anthology later this year!
I've got a few odd ideas I can flesh out.
Liking this and commenting before I even read it because I am THAT confident it will be good.
I like that level of confidence.
I didn't even know this would be the one with the link to Earthloop in it! Thanks man
You're welcome. With all you've done to promote my books, it's the least I could do.
