Hi, Isabel Williams. Welcome to the community. Stage 32 had a live Community Open House this past Friday. You can watch the recording here (www.stage32.com/education/products/stage-32-community-open-house-webcast-1). It'll help you navigate Stage 32 and connect with creatives and industry pros all over the world.
Stage 32 also has a blog about navigating the platform and making connections: www.stage32.com/blog/how-to-successfully-navigate-the-stage-32-platform-...
Pitch Practice is every Thursday night at 5:30 P.M. PST/8:30 P.M. EST. You can sit in and listen to members practice their projects and give them feedback. You can pitch your project too, but you have to sign up. The hosts, Noel Thompson and John Mezes, take names during Pitch Practice for people to pitch the following week. You have to sit in and listen at the practice before you can pitch (I think once or twice). One night each month is the Pitch Practice Happy Hour where everyone hangs out and gets to know each other better. I think it's the 3rd or 4th week every month.
Stage 32 has two written pitch examples and two verbal pitch beat sheets. You can email writerhelp@stage32.com to get them.
Here are two Lounge posts with pitch advice:

Hello Bill,
I pitched a TV drama series. I was nervous, time was short, and I wanted to say so much more. I'm hoping to get some feedback. Any feedback would be helpful. I've only pitched twice and this was the second time.

Isabel, did you script everything out in advance? Every time I've pitched I've had my script in front of me and gone over it maticulously so it hits all the points I want.

Another things to read over their profile in detail and make sure it hits what they are looking for. Someone looking for horror or sci-fi is probably not looking for a straight drama. I have to admit a few times I just should have checked out their history closer.
