What You'll Learn

Now is the time to be selling pitches while the industry is buying them up with an ever-increasing appetite. Amazon and Netflix are spending close to 20 billion dollars a year on original content, and everyone else is racing to keep up with them.

In the past two years, over a hundred of my students have sold pitches. These writers understood what is truly required to succeed in the room. They also knew the three essential questions they had to answer to earn a "yes."

Come learn the specific tools and techniques to truly stand out in the room, and how to absolutely wow executives, producers and showrunners with your pitches.
