You put everything into that pitch. Then it came back a pass.
Before you take it personally, hear this.
@rbwalksintoabar explains the two reasons a strong pitch still misses the read request, and why a “no” isn’t a dead end.

Some personal news I wanted to share with you guys. Thrilled to announce that I have signed with THE Adam Kolbrenner and Lit Entertainment to represent me on the screenwriting side of things.
We already have 2 projects making the rounds and banging heads on many others. Fired up for what's to come.
A shoutout to those brave enough to put their art out into the world.
It isn't easy being judged as you seek representation, raise money or find an audience. Rejection, at any phase, is never not painful.
You should be proud. Never let one person's opinion dull your enthusiasm.

Big time congratulations for being one of the first into the Marketplace (top 1.7% of 235,000 reviewed projects), Carlo
Yours was rated extremely high. Take time to celebrate your success!
Just learned that 3 of my projects are in the @stage32 Marketplace. Definitely honored to have my scripts be noticed by people I hope to one day work with. A YA horror, a holiday queer romcom, & a family drama mixed w/ some romantic comedy vibes 🤗. Thanks guys @stage32scripts.

It starts with knowing as much as humanly possible.
@rbwalksintoabar shares the three habits that get you there, including the one most creatives skip: learning outside your lane.
