I have a pitch session at a conference coming up and I was wondering how important those first few lines are about your book and exactly what they should consist of.
Should it be a fantastic hook that will make the agent start asking questions?
Or should it be more along the lines of the main conflict?
I've also heard conflicting things on length. A lot of people say two to three minutes then go on to say four to five lines. I don't know about others but I can get out four lines in less than a minute and I'm not that fast a talker.
So which is it?
