MASTERING THE SHORT PITCH – WEBINAR

WWW.MASTERINGTHESHORTPITCH.EVENTBRITE.COM

Other than writing a great script, pitching is the most important skill a writer needs to master to have a long-term career.

You need to know how to break down your pitch to maximize the time you have and to ensure you are making the right impression and telling – and selling – your story in the strongest way possible. But don’t worry – I’m here to help.

As an executive and a consultant, I have taken over 3500 pitches!

I have coached writers on their pitches at almost every major screenwriting event in the country including the last 3 years at Austin Film Festival, where I got TWO writers signed by reps off their pitches and had Top 3 finalists from my sessions every year.

I’ve also taught pitching at Story Expo, Great American Pitchfest, InkTip Pitch Summit, Willamette Writers Conference, Kansas City Film Festival, Screenwriting Expo, The World Series of Comedy, Scriptwriters Network, Las Vegas Writers Conference and many more.

And on SATURDAY OCTOBER 8TH at 11AM PST, I’m giving a LIVE WEBINAR to make sure YOU are ready to pitch!

Think of this as your personal pitch prep session from the comfort of your living room!
