The Art of Pitching
Image Credit -IPF 2023
Overview
Pitching is not a science. It’s an art. There’s no one way to do it. But you can master the fundamentals. In a two-part workshop, we will walk through best practices for focusing your ideas and conveying them to editors. Then we will put those learnings to practice in a hands-on session where we write and edit a proposal.
