This workshop dives into both the craft and business of pitching from the perspective of lower- and mid-level writers. Unlike most pitch classes—which focus solely on structure and technique—you’ll actually get to hear a live pitch that sold in the room. Subject to guest availability, you’ll also experience additional successful pitches and gain insider insights from an executive on what sells in today’s marketplace.

There are two tiers of participation:

• Pitch Tier: Receive personalized feedback on your five-minute pitch from the instructor. If time allows, you may have the opportunity to receive a second round of feedback to refine and strengthen your presentation. This tier is limited to ten participants.
• Audit Tier: Observe, take notes, and learn from live examples, instructor feedback, and peer discussions. No limit on participation.

All participants will receive a curated list of resources, including a compilation of pitch documents and recorded pitches.

Pitches succeed or fail based on what happens in the room. To hear real pitches that succeeded is an exceptionally rare opportunity, as is getting live feedback from successful industry veterans. Very few classes offer this kind of access. Don’t miss out—sign up today.
