Etiquette Around An Agent or Editor

Okay, you're at a conference/workshop/New York City. An editor is standing next to you in the elevator. You recognize her and you say "Hello." Yes, I'm one of those people who will chat with an editor, especialy if she's stuck with me and cannot run away. LOL! Anyway, the question is, do you pitch your book?

NO!

But like all things in life there is an exception. If she asks, "What do you write?" And then she follows up with "Tell me about your latest book." At that time, feel free to tell her about it. Keep it short. Remember my blog from the other day about pitches. Be ready and smile, act excited about your book. It becomes contagious.
