Pitching Series: Where and When?

It’s important to mention where your story takes place, normally.  This is especially true if we are dealing with historical fiction; time travel; or fantasy worlds.  So if it’s relevant to your story be sure and mention where it takes place, and if necessary when it takes place.  An editor/agent will want to know up front if you are pitching a historical novel set in Greece, vs a modern story in small town USA.  They will also want to know if this is present day Earth, futuristic, or a whole new world that has yet to be discovered.  You would also want to mention if you are dealing with an alternate reality.  Where and When are two things that should be in the beginning of your pitch.
