Stop walking into pitch meetings like a hopeful puppy and start owning the room—these 10 questions will make you look like a strategic genius in an industry that’s basically one big, s**t sandwich.
the top of this article alone gives me hope. I’m not just pitching a show, i’m pitching multimedia brand — one that has been underway for a decade. First as a blog, now a book, a one woman show in development, and a 5 minute pitch competition winner (at Yale!) for this whole vision. The TV show pitch is also in development, and I sort of see at the Apex of all of this. But I also have to honor that it’s only the beginning. I’ll pitch other movies and shows under this “faith based…sort of” umbrella and this will be brilliant. Long game and all that.
thanks for these reminders! Happy to see you on substack!
Absolutely—this is exactly the kind of long-game thinking that sets real creators apart. You’re not just building a show, you’re building a universe, a brand with depth and staying power. The fact that it's evolved from a blog to a book to a one-woman show to a pitch-winning concept at Yale? That’s the foundation of something serious.
I’m glad my Substack can be part of the journey in even a small way—and I can’t wait to see how it all unfolds. Keep me posted on the next chapter!
Where was this post two weeks ago when I was going into a pitch meeting??
Great read though. I’ll save it for next time.
Luckily, it's right on time for me lol
Ha! So sorry I didn’t get it out in in time. But you’ll knock them dead on the next one. Thanks for taking the time to read an comment.
