The Writers Guild of Ireland and Coimisiúin na Meán present

The Art of the Pitch with MARY KATE O’ FLANAGAN

Online | 9.30am – 12.30pm | Tuesday 2nd December 

In this workshop, Mary Kate O’ Flanagan will share her philosophy that The Art of The Pitch is not only about finding champions for your work – it’s about clarifying your vision. Once you have done that, you can communicate the essence of your idea and it will be clear and compelling. It is her belief that even the shyest writers are well able to become adept at pitching while staying true to their own voices. She will also communicate some guidelines on pitching – on the page and in person. These include: Considering Your Audience; Reference Points That Fire The Imagination; The Heart of The Matter; Why This, Why Now?; Eternal Themes, Fresh Approaches; Practical Considerations; Anticipating Questions; and Brevity, The Soul of the Pitch

• Those who attend the morning session may also join the afternoon session to observe the one-to-one pitching training.
• Please note that stipends are available for those with caring needs that would otherwise prevent them from attending.
