Workshop Presenter: Lori Wilde

Lori Wilde has written 42 books for three major New York publishers. She recently received a two book contract from Warner books based solely on a 25 word ‘high concept’ pitch. When the sale—along with the pitch—was announced on Publisher’s Marketplace, she was approached by eight film production companies—including Paramount and Warner Brothers—interested in optioning her completed novel for a movie. Lori is a past RITA finalist and has four times been nominated for Romantic Times’ Reviewer’s Choice Award.
