How to pitch: www.anitasullivan.co.uk/post/bbc-rad...
![A hand holding a notebook with handwritten notes: Fill the gap of the room. Be the sand. Put the show first. Then you'll get thick skin. Don't pitch problems, always support. Be the biggest cheerleader of the show. It's about the showrunner. Think out the pitch; bullet point it. You are an investment. Your pitch doesn't have to be touchdown. Sometime it's the timing, not the idea. Play to your strength, but you have to evolve. Find other/grow strengths. Once you put the show first, you stop thinking about yourself. Don't work from a scared place. Work twice as hard. Do your homework. Be positive. Don't join in on the snarkiness. Keep track of the changes. Then apply on the board. Be open to change. Let things go. Staff superpower: see the story from a completely different way. Don't get hung up on the details. Think about the filmmaking. Always have solutions. Don't be scared to ask for advice. Do you homework: study the showrunner. At the least, your script should LOOK right. Modulate your notes on scripts. Focus on the small ones. It's not your job to fix the big stuff [as the staff writer]. Don't give notes based on how YOU would've written it.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:4gfbjclhnz23v6beowxhsusc/bafkreihbpb47m7i673wn7u4s5m2o6fp6fqkqwsvcd55oa3etvtlhmbc4pm)
