Hi Sharon, Is there anywhere we can go to see previous entries in the Pitch Book? I’m interested in the style or form in which these should be written.
Hi Vern, Check out the page on our website: http://writerspitchbook.com/?page_id=111 This as close as I can get to showing you what the actual pitch book entries look like. Of course, all pitches are confidential and only the agents, editors and Hollywood producers see them. That way all writers submitting pitches can be sure their ideas and stories will not be seen by other writers. Hope this helps. Also check our page about how to write a pitch. If you have other questions, I’m very happy to help.
Sharon
