Pitch Tips

Deliver the central conceit, genre, world, tone - clearly and concisely at the top of your pitch. Then spend the bulk of your time on what we really care about - CHARACTER(S). Streamline the narrative through the POV and arc of your main character. What is their emotional journey? What's their core relationship and how do we watch them evolve?
