A one-page pitch designed to hook the reader's interest and intrigue him/her enough to ask for the treatment or script. Longer than a logline (which is included with this service) but shorter than a treatment, the Pitch-Sheet is an ideal way to get the promise of your story across briefly and persuasively. In a business where attention spans are notoriously short, this is crucial. The logline hooks the reader's interest at a glance, and the teaser reels them in. The Pitch-Sheet is best employed after the script is in final shape-as the better the script, the better the Pitch-Sheet.

All Pitch-Sheets are prepared by TED's Director of Development, John Robert Marlow. He'll read your script, boil it down to its most essential elements, and deliver a document containing a teaser and two or more loglines. (Occasionally, John will suggest an alternate title as well.) To see the Pitch-Sheet he used to land a manager, sell his Nano novel, and get the adapted script into development, see his sample Pitch-Sheet. Ideally, the Pitch-Sheet should read like the back cover blurb on a novel or DVD. In fact, John's publisher (Forge/ St. Martin's Press) chose to use his Pitch-Sheet teaser as the back-cover blurb for his Nano novel, rather than a blurb written by its own in-house copywriters, who write back-cover blurbs for a living.
