Pitching 101
Take the guesswork out of the pitching process as you learn the secrets to selling a brilliant show/movie—by selling your voice/yourself.
Some of the topics and techniques we’ll cover include:
- Learn all the components you need to pitch a TV show or feature, from bios to season summaries.
- Connect in the room, put people at ease, and show them why YOU’RE the best writer for the job.
…and a whole lot more. Hope to see you there!
