Pitching services and materials for screenwriter

define your personal brand


The best part about having your personal screenwriting coach is that as they track your progress, they not only get to know your story inside and out, but they also become very acquainted with you: your voice, your writing style, your brand, and your personal writing goals.

When your Story Expert gives you the green light to go to pitch, it means your story is polished and you have a plan for not only your screenplay but how it will mark a step in your path towards a professional screenwriting career.

Because of the intimate relationship you have with your Story Expert, they can provide feedback on your pitch with context to make sure it matches your script in genre, tone, theme, and story, and  ensure your pitch documents are so aesthetically pleasing that they elevate the idea from your imagination
to being realized on screen.

​This was the best thing I could have done for our pitches. The Professional Pen is an amazing service. It helped me say what I need to say, concisely, figuratively and basically streamlined my thoughts to make them much more interesting to a reader. I say it again, The Professional Pen was the best thing I could have done to improve my writing and my pitches.

CREATE YOUR PITCH MATERIALS

Pitch materials are any documents used to sell the idea of a film or TV series to networks, studios, and production companies. Pitch materials are also used to prove that your story is visually appealing. Because of this, pitch materials can make or break a story.

Not a graphic design artist? Afraid the way you see your story in your head won't translate to your pitch materials? Don't want to submit the equivalent of a 5th grade book report to a producer? As a writer, making the best visual choices may not be your strongest skillset, and that's ok. 
Our job at TPP is to make sure your documents are professional and visually stimulating to the eye.​ 

Your personal Story Expert will work with you to create a One Sheet or Pitch Deck with clear, concise, and compelling story beats in a layout with images, colors, and fonts that match the tone of your screenplay, leaving you with a polished package ready to sell to Hollywood.​

Perfect YOUR PITCH Materials

Creating professional pitch materials is key. As always, we must consider the first impression. This begins with writing in clear sentences, laying out information in a digestible format, and ensuring that your materials match the story being told in the script.

​If you've already created your pitch materials and the written English language isn’t your strong suit, your materials can benefit from sharpening the layout, or you need feedback to ensure your documents are selling your story in a concise and compelling way, don’t worry. We’ve got you. 

​
Your personal Story Expert will give notes on your pitch materials or edit your pitch materials for grammatical errors and typos to ensure they are organized, leaving you with a polished package ready to sell to Hollywood.​

PRACTICE YOUR PITCH

Pitching is a requirement as a professional writer, but we aren’t all great public speakers. Some of us are also very introverted. So how can we sit in front of an executive and sell our screenplays?

Actors always get a dress rehearsal. And in some ways, pitching is acting. You get an opportunity to put your storytelling chops on display, and sometimes that means creating an alter ego that represents your story's tone and world. Like Beyonce turning into Sasha Fierce, screenwriters must do what it takes in the room to sell their stories. ​

Your personal Story Expert is here to help you become confident with your 15-20 minute oral pitch.  Our process is to:
  • Make sure you know your story through and through
  • Organize your thoughts so that your pitch not only sells your story but tells a story
  • Put you in a position of power in the room making you feel safe to share your story
  • Make the pitch more conversational than a presentation
