The Tracking Board Teams with Roadmap Writers to Offer Open Pitch Sessions

The Tracking Board is excited to announce our new partnership with Roadmap Writers to offer screenwriters the opportunity to pitch their script to some of Hollywood’s best executives 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 just $25. The verbal pitch will be an 8 minute Skype or phone call, while the written option requires a two-page max pitch.

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, September 24 and Sunday, September 25.
