PARTIAL LIST, WE ARE STILL BUILDING THIS. CHECK BACK FOR MORE DETAILS 🙂
- Pitch, Please! with Tobi Doyle and Sheila Redling. If you are pitching at GenreCon, this workshop is mandatory. We’ll walk you through exactly what to expect, help you polish your logline and elevator pitch, and demystify the whole process—so you can shake off the heebie-jeebies, calm those ants in your pants, and show up with only the usual amount of nerves. AND, we’re having another pitch workshop for those of you who want to practice later in the day. You’re welcome to attend if you’re not pitching but practice will focus on those who have scheduled pitch sessions. This is a great stress reliever and past participants have been very happy (and received requests) after making minor tweaks.
- Pitch Practice: Get Ready to Wow ‘Em Nervous about tomorrow’s pitch? Let’s work out the kinks together. Join Sheila and Tobi for a hands-on session where you’ll fine-tune your logline, sharpen your elevator pitch, and walk through exactly how the pitching process works. We’ll workshop your pitch until it’s polished, powerful, and ready to impress.
