It's no secret that pitching makes a lot of writers nervous. We get it! When you work so hard on writing your script, having to pitch it in just a few minutes is a huge challenge. And then there's the added pressure of what the person you're pitching to is going to say after the pitch is done. Are they going to ask you questions? Give you feedback? If they do, how do you respond?
To answer all this and more, Roadmap is thrilled to welcome back Tony Gapastione from Bravemaker!
This 90 Minute Webinar Will Cover:
- The small talk before the pitch
- Dos and don'ts of pitching
- Typical questions to expect
- How to respond to feedback
