I work in live-action as a screenwriter and recently had a conversation about an animated idea with an author friend. However, I know very little about doing this. I assume, we'd need a solid pitch but before we get there it would be wise, to have a well thought out plan for the idea. What would the first steps be, whom would one approach? I appreciate the help.

Thank you More Cartoons. Forgive me for asking questions, but I want to be sure I'm understanding everything and have an idea of what will need to be completed. I'm assuming the bible is similar to the live action bibles I've done, and I'll certainly look to connect with some artists to do the concept drawings - though we have ones for the books. Any tips on the beat aspect of it? Should it cover the entire collection of books at this point? Or simply do one beat for the initial concept-pilot episode?
Thank you again for your assistance.
Chris Oatley has a great series of posts to get you started on the process: https://chrisoatley.com/animation-pitch/
You definitely need a pitch bible, I too used the used the https://chrisoatley.com/animation-pitch-bible/ site to create my pitch bible (I'm still looking for an agent/representation). "The Red Mullet" example was very useful.
Hi pals, please I need quick response advise from you - anyone know about DTM (Dedicated Talent Management) I pitched them about my animation and they have just sent me a response requesting to read my script. Just wanna be sure I'm dealing with the right guys.
I could find that a filmmaker, Miguel Amodio, signed up with them 4 years ago. His email is migueliouscreative@gmail.com. I haven't found reviews about them though.
