What to Expect

Need some extra guidance on your pitch? Wanting some one-on-one with an exec to get your pitch really polished? You know the importance of a strong pitch, but so many factors go into making it resonate, and it always requires more practice than you think. In your private 30-minute call with the exec, you'll get tailored guidance to prepare you for your best delivery yet. Submit your 1-2 page written pitch for the exec's prior review, and you'll begin the call by giving your 5-7 minute verbal pitch. You’ll then discuss delivery, clarity, structure, characterization, pacing, the opening of your pitch, and how best to end.

More about Elizabeth Baxa

Elizabeth was a staff writer on S2 of PERRY MASON and was promoted to story editor for the S3 pre-room that ran prior to the show's cancellation. She's developed projects and pitch materials with A-list talent and directors.

Elizabeth's a graduate of the MFA screenwriting program at UCLA, where she was the first recipient of the Audrey Wells Memorial Scholarship and winner of the Sony Pictures Television/UCLA Drama Pilot Initiative.

A Florida native, Elizabeth grew up immersed in theater and dance but fell in love with writing as an undergrad at the University of Virginia, in workshops taught by authors Deborah Eisenberg and Ann Beattie. She's worked in independent film production and development on both coasts and volunteers with 826LA, an organization offering free writing and academic support to students in underserved communities.

Cancellation Policy: You may cancel your registration for a refund or Roadmap gift card if you have not yet submitted your material for review. However, once your material has been received by Roadmap, your registration cannot be canceled. Having revised material or a desire to retroactively apply a discount or gift card code are not grounds for cancellation, refunds, or gift card credit. Once your material has been submitted, the only acceptable grounds for cancellation and a refund or gift card credit is an unforeseen, ongoing emergency on the part of either the writer or the exec resulting in more than 6 weeks without any scheduling update from the exec via direct contact or Roadmap, or a sudden change in the exec's ongoing availability. In the instance of an irreconcilable scheduling issue, the writer may still receive a written feedback report from the exec. In this case, the writer is not entitled to a refund or gift card credit as the exec has read the submitted material and provided written feedback in lieu of the call.
