 NEIL WHITE's THE OUTCASTS (working title), will be a lead title to be published by Laurie and Morrow in Summer 2009. The book recounts how Neil spent about 18 months imprisoned in the last leper colony in the continental US – in Carville, Louisiana – and how Neil was utterly transformed by the experience. The “Buy This Book” workshop will launch by using Neil’s book as an example of how to make a book pitch work – how to think about loglines, positioning, and so forth – and how the editorial acquisitions process occurred. The workshop will then move on to discuss the participants’ books, and how to position their own projects as strongly as possible.
