On Writing : 35 Writers on Stage 32 Share What Actually Worked When They Pitched To Execs! by Ashley Renée Smith

Hey Writers,

Today’s blog from our Stage 32 Writer Liaison, Pat Alexander, is one of those pieces I genuinely hope every member takes the time to read.

It’s 35 writers sharing what has actually led to script requests in their Stage 32 pitch sessions.

And what I love most? It pulls back the curtain on what pitching really is:

• Researching who you’re meeting with

• Crafting a killer logline

• Focusing on character over plot

• Knowing your market lane

• Matching tone to genre

• Thinking like a buyer, not just a seller

• Refining based on patterns of feedback

• And treating executives like human beings

There’s wisdom in the piece, whether you’re brand new to pitching or have been doing it for years.

If you’re serious about development, representation, or getting your material in the right hands, this is required reading!

Then join the conversation in the blog comments. Congratulate the writers who generously shared what’s working for them. Ask Pat any questions that came up while reading. Share one insight that surprised you. Or tell us what you’re refining in your own pitch right now.

This is exactly the kind of community-driven wisdom that accelerates growth.
