430 Words2 Pages

“Jenna Metcalf has been searching for her supposedly dead mother for years. But is her mother the one missing from the world?” This twitter pitch is effective for many reasons.

Secondly, this twitter pitch is effective because it gathers only the key elements of the story. The pitch leaves out key characters like Serenity Jones and Virgil Stanhope, to only focus on the main character Jenna, and her mother.
