New Open Pitch Sessions Offered by The Tracking Board and Roadmap Writers
0The Tracking Board is excited to announce another opportunity with Roadmap Writers for screenwriters to pitch their script to some of the best Hollywood insiders in the business. Both film and television writers will have the opportunity to book a verbal or written pitch with the executive of their choice for a fee between $25 – $40. The verbal pitch will be an 8 minute Skype or phone call, while the written option requires a two-page max pitch.
Writers can submit up to three projects and the executives will review the loglines to choose one pitch to hear or read. They will then provide specific feedback to the screenwriter in 2-3 business days, wherein the executive can pass on a project or request additional material.
This is truly a one-of-a-kind opportunity that allows writers to get feedback from seasoned veterans in the industry.
Writers simply need to visit the Roadmap Writers & Tracking Board page, choose their executive, and sign up at the desired time. These sessions will be happening in three-hour blocks per executive on Saturday, January 28 and Sunday, January 29.
