Before #preDV & #DVPit thought I'd repost some pitching advice(1/7)
Here's a simple pitch rubric:

[CHARACTER] is/lives [STATUS QUO] until [INCITING INCIDENT]. Now if they don’t [MAIN GOAL] then [CONSEQUENCES].
OR
[MAIN MOTIVATION] only problem is [MAIN CONFLICT/HURDLE]

e.g. my old 140 char pitch:
Based on Korean myth, Jihoon & Miyoung fall in love, only prob is Miyoung's a gumiho, immortal 9-tail fox that preys on man #DVpit #YA #OWN

ANIMAL FARM x THE GOOD PLACE

When grief-ridden Archa discovers that the Afterlife’s soul-sucking CEOs have set their sights on her beloved grandfather, she must decide:
Is she willing to damn her soul to save a soul?
