They are brief, usually 5 to 10 minutes, and should cover the main themes/character conflicts in your book. The manuscript should be complete before pitching it to an editor or agent.

Hope this helps!

I am an experienced technical writer, but what is meant by pitches? Is it like ideas, proposed story lines, or what?
Thanks,
Charles
