If you’re like me, you probably just want to write. But I want to show you the benefits of diving deep into understanding the value of your work – and how to pitch it. With ideas at a premium, and attention spans low, it helps to learn how to condense your work into a visual and easily-understandable intellectual property that can be shown to agents, producers and publishers.

Whether you simply struggle to figure out how to finish a story, want to try selling a film or TV show, or sell an anthology or non-fiction concept to a publisher, this workshop’s for you.
