CONCEPT & PITCH
Duration: 8 weeks
Frequency: weekly (except bank holidays)
Starts: Mon 13th May 2019
Time: 7-8pm
Tutor: Emma Greenwood
Price: £47.50
In today's competitive marketplace, agents and publishers are increasingly looking for 'high concept' stories – stories that can be easily pitched with a succinctly stated premise. We believe that a strong story pitch develops alongside your manuscript – informing your story's development as you write – rather than being something you angst about at the end. The elements of a strong pitch often revolve around character, goal, conflict and setting. Our tutor will help you to examine and strengthen these aspects of your story, enable you to start to see your story in a way that will appeal to agents and publishers, and guide you as you hone your story pitch.
Who's this for? Writers with a story idea and at least 5000 words, writers with a first draft, writers developing their story and writers preparing their submission package.
