Of course!! Biggest thing I think is I wrote it from a personal place - the other 2 ideas I pitched were much more 'hmm, what do I think the people want...'. I was hesitant to write about it since it was so personal, but ultimately I thought oh well, when is the next time I have a chance-?

(this is the episode about that -! www.youtube.com/watch?v=sgnB...)

It's important to note this was for SMALLS which is a particular program, not a full-fledged pitch for a network show! When I pitched, it was before they had a web portal... & my friends who also pitched successfully for them, who have a podcast, mentioned they had... 1000 pitches this last 'round'🤯

followed by a set of pages about the 3 main characters with their own drawings, followed by a cast of extra characters and short descriptions. I did a page of episode ideas, a moodboard, a work sample page, and one full styleframe-type drawing of the main characters/shop together!

Here was the breakdown, though: I sent a revised deck a few months after the first one. First page was a splash with a sketch of the Gassy's building with my info! 2nd had a description, an idea about tone, and a little info of where the idea came from. 3rd was a page of characters drawings,
