Hey guys! I am new to stage 32. Wondering if anyone has had any success with pitching on the happy writers section? It seems all the skype spots are sold out. Is this a legit way to go about pitching? My partner and I have been working on a pitch for our tv series all week and now very sad that all the slots are sold out after stage 32 server being down for days :(
just return back in a while, you will get more pros and their skype time

Hi Malek! Yes it is indeed legit, you are put face-to-face with the executives, and executives aren't one to let a good idea or good writer slip by. Make sure you review our pitching template before heading in, and even though you're given 8 minutes to pitch try to keep it to 4-5 minutes - that way the executive has time to ask questions. It's the most direct way to get in front of an executive who is looking for the kind of material you write, that said... it's still not easy. Pitching is hard - pitching correctly is even harder, but if you can nail down your verbal pitch you'll find success. Let me know if you have any questions! Feel free to shoot me a DM.
