I had my first pitch session Saturday and boy was a nervous wreck lol this is new territory for me since I'm an author doing all of this. Who all has tried the pitch sessions before? it's like the industry standard of speed dating to me haha Ot was a pleasant experience but I am a ball of anxiety so it will never not be anxiety ridden.

Congratulations on doing your first Pitch Session, Kasey Hill! I've done a few Pitch Sessions. The feedback helped me get better at written pitches.

Hello Kasey! I had my first pitching session at the Deauville Green Award a couple of weeks ago where my project was selected. I was told with a very short notice so it was quite stressful for me too, especially going after two more experienced pitchers. It was good though, people like my project and the panel provided me with helpful advice :)

Maurice Vaughan I haven't done the written pitches yet. This one was in person and ughhh lol I have a lisp. stutter, etc when I get nervous so tongue tied a lot. I had to stop a few times to get the words out.
Kasey Hill One of the reasons I do written pitches is I feel more comfortable doing them than live pitches. I'm getting better at live pitching though.
Stage 32 has two verbal pitch beat sheets and two written pitch examples if you're interested. Email writerhelp@stage32.com.

Congratulations on your first pitch session! I'm proud of you~ I know how you feel, I'm also likely to get pwned by anxiety so my first few verbal pitches were me trying to make some sense and not show I was nervous XD but it's really only scary until you do it. Right now I'm focusing on written pitches until I'm comfortable doing verbal ones again, and I did get a lot of good feedback :)

Danny Range luckily she told me I delivered a very good pitch. But I have an anxiety disorder and it makes my speech impediment worse lol which then of course makes me overthink haha
