      <image:title>writing workshops - Advanced Pitching Course</image:title>
      <image:caption>This is a 90 minute intensive on all things pitching. We will workshop your pitches and break down how to turn your idea into a story. Character, structure, timing, narrative hooks, cold emailing, the value of IP and contacts and how to advocate for yourself are all focuses. These classes have been very popular and very helpful for budding writers and seasoned pros and they’re aimed at reporters, non-fiction and fiction writers who want to grow. Pitching is a skill and the goal is to pass on what I’ve learned and to learn from each other. Expect live critiques, audience Q&amp;A, lecture and take home materials to level up.
