Here at Crooked Marquee, we are open to pitches from all writers, regardless of experience. Why, the number of pitches we get per week must be somewhere around [number that sounds impressive but plausible]! Many of these ideas are excellent, but a few bad ones slip through, too. Here’s a sampling of some of the pitches we rejected this summer.
