I am in the process of doing a reality show and could use the advise and guidance of all the above. My name is Valencia Williams and I am an author. If possible, can any of you give me any advise or refer me to a company to pitch my idea?

Question I have an idea for a reality TV show but I do not have a background in writing (well I did self publish a couple of books with mild success)but I never graduated with a Masters in English or wrote for ‘Everybody Loves Raymond’. Hell I’m not even a member of the writer’s guild. So with that said, how does a guy like myself from New York with ideas get them to the right folks with out the right credentials?

Well the good news is that I have an animated show I’m merely publishing through YouTube, but I’m interested in getting it syndicated through a large online TV Network like G4 or ManiaTV. I’m not entirely sure how the proposal should sound, or if it should have a business plan backing it up.

You can see it here – http://www.planetxfiction.com/spritesapiens

Any ideas on how a show that’s already produced online can be structured through a proposal and possibly get an executive’s attention. I’m grateful for any feedback.

Thank you,

Brad.

Good afternoon.

I was referred to this website by Script Nurse, who gives you extremely high regards.

I am trying to find formatting information regarding (submission of) Game Show proposals. Could you possibly offer some advice or point me in the right direction?

I appreciate your time and consideration.

Yours truly,

Leander Beatty Jr.

Hi! Great discussion. My background is as a development executive for production companies and most recently created the TV Writers Vault ( http://www.tvwritersvault.com )which has an extensive amount of information on formatting and marketing of concepts. The information above that BigDaddy187 posted was written by me and copied from our site. No foul, only flattery! :) If I were to say one thing, it’s to know that this business is one of collaboration, and you need to find an element that gives your project something more than just an idea. Does it focus on a unique or compelling profession? Then find the real life character that it’s based on. Does it involve race car driving? Then get Nascar or a major sponsor involved, even on an if-come basis. Be bold and don’t let the fear of exposing your concept keep you from having discussions with people that may want to partner with you. If you have any specific questions on development or pitching reality projets, feel free to email me at scott@tvwritersvault.com Best to all!

I have a meeting next week with a program director at my countries biggest tv channel, my producer pitched the idea, and they are interested, now we go to them with our proposal,which both me and my producer wrote. any suggestions on what to say/ask at the meeting? Im sure its a bit differant in each country, but same basic things? and I know my producer knows what to say, but I will have to do some of the talking, because it is my show idea. any ideas?
