  • You’ve got your story down, but can you pitch yourself as the writer behind the idea? The Writers Guild Foundation in partnership with The Riveter invite you to an exciting new event that covers how to craft your personal brand, how to pitch yourself and your projects in any situation, and how to leverage platforms such as social media to showcase your voice. 

    Following a panel of film and TV writers and branding executives, attendees will break out for a session to work on their pitches. A select few will be chosen to pitch in front of the panelists for feedback. 

    Panelists:

    • Karen Kirkland - Literary Agent, Abrams Artists Agency. Founder of The Breakk.
    • Erin Ryan - Staff Writer, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. Host of Hysteria podcast. 
    • Eliza Skinner - Writer, Drop the Mic, The Late, Late Show with James Corden. Actor, Take My Wife.
    • Jen Statsky - Supervising Producer, The Good Place, Forever

    Moderated by Sarah Penna, Co-Founder & COO, Frolic Media.

    Doors open at 6 pm. Event starts at 6:30 pm.
