In virtual roundtables limited to only 10 people, each writer will have 5 minutes to practice their pitch with an exec that specializes in the genre(s) you write in . The pitch should be 2-3 minutes, leaving time for the exec to provide verbal feedback.
The host of each Roundtable will select one writer to advance to the Pitch Finale.
I'm generally more interested in you and what inspired you to write your work than the plot :).
My team and I are particularly interested in features or stage plays that are historical.
Dystopian (but prove me wrong!)
