How do we keep getting bad story pitch content? (it’s because there’s so many bad story pitches)
Storypitches.com, that’s Story Pitches Dot Com, is a thriving and lucrative WordPress blog where aspiring and lucrative writers can leave a logline teasing their story idea and have it ostensibly put out before some number of viewers for potential optioning into a book, film, or what have you.
