As a writer or producer, you pitch every day – whether you’re pitching an idea, a series, or yourself. This workshop will walk you through the components of a strong pitch, provide you with tips on pitching effectively, and offer you an opportunity to practice and get feedback.

By the end of this class, you’ll know how to:
- Identify the components of a successful pitch;
