There's so much to accomplish in the first act of a feature. Worse, if the reader isn't hooked by page 15, they'll likely stop reading. For the First 30 Consultation, you'll submit the first 30 pages of your feature or one-hour pilot script, and then have a 30-minute story notes call with the executive. They will help you boost your hook and refine your set up to make sure it is as strong as possible so readers HAVE to know what happens next.

I'm especially interested in scripted series in all formats (half hour, hour, limited and anthology series). Also very interested in historical projects / those based on true stories. (ie Chernobyl and Little America)
