I've been a lit and talent manager for 19 years, and one thing that every writer needs to learn is how to pitch. Pitching your project is the non-writing part of writing, and it's something that you have to be able to do. It just so happens that I'm starting a new Lab for Stage32 this weekend covering exactly that.
In this class, I'll cover what goes into a Deck, and how to craft a killer verbal pitch (with visual aids) that you can use to try to sell your project. This class has a couple of group sessions, and several one-on-one Zooms to talk about your project directly with you.
I'll also cover a ton of other industry-related information that will hopefully help set you on the right path to getting representation, and selling your projects.

Spencer, the part of pitching that gets understated is how different the muscle is from writing. The page can carry weight a sentence on its own cannot. In a room you have to compress what the script earns over 110 pages into the version of the story that survives in someone else's memory after the meeting. That is its own craft. The deck is one part. The other part is knowing which beat you can afford to give away early because most rooms decide whether they are leaning in or politely waiting in the first 30 seconds.
