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.

Stephanie Amante-Ritter is a writer/comedian who’s just happy to be here. She's currently a writer on STAR TREK: LOWER DECKS on Paramount + while developing a new, single camera comedy with CBS Studios. Stephanie's other credits include writing for BROOKLYN 99 and INDEBTED on NBC, and VELMA (with Mindy Kaling) and CLOSE ENOUGH (created by JG Quintel) on HBO Max. She also performs at The Groundlings in the all-gay improv show, The Gale, and wrote for the CBS Diversity Showcase. Since moving to LA, she has completed the Groundlings program, studied at UCB (NY/LA), continued to be Hispanic, and rewatched Buffy like 4 more times.
Stephanie was very engaging and enthusiastic. Her feedback made a lot of sense in terms of what worked well already and what could use refining. She also gave pointers from the perspective of someone who's already worked on TV regarding what in a spec pilot script producers need to see that maybe wasn't quite there yet. I really appreciated her notes!

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.
