Example Pitch:

My book is a 77,000-word Middle Grade novel titled THE LION KING.

(Agent: Great name! Tell me more!)

Simba is a rambunctious lion cub living in the animal kingdom of the Sahara Desert. As heir to the
throne, Simba can't wait to surpass his father and become king. But when Scar, Simba's evil uncle,
uses Simba to lure the king into a death trap, Simba is overcome with guilt. Unable to deal with his
role in the death of his father, Simba runs away and abandons his kingdom when they need him the
most.

While Simba is away, Scar seizes the throne and drives the animal kingdom into the ground. When
Simba finds out, he has to make a choice: continue his life in exile or overcome his guilt and battle
Scar for control of the kingdom.
