The Hit Makers Summit will be at the Renaissance Orlando Hotel at Sea World.

Rave Reviews

"Jeanne and Mark. What in the heck can I say??? You guys are the most sincere, no bull shit, coming-straight-at-you people. Thanks for everything you guys have done to show us how to pitch our TV shows! I swear I thought you guys were a gimmick, I thought I was about to throw away $3,000, but I said hey, if they are charging this much they have to be real! I've been trying to find the secrets that you guys shared with us for over 7-10 years! I have mentors who have never heard of some of the things you guys covered! I am using a lot of exclamation points because I am truly this excited!

I plan on attending many more things with you guys, but I can say that you've already showed me more and given me more confidence than I could have attained myself. If it wasn't for you I can truly say I would have given up on my dream within a few years. So thank you very much."

Special Guests

Spike TV Network Executive
Scott Fishman. He was one of the first employees at MTV and now he's an executive at Spike in charge of some of their most successful shows. We met him when Nickelodeon began production in Orlando in the early 90's and Scott directed some of the network's most popular shows. He revealed what networks, in particular Spike and Nickelodeon, look for in a pitch. Scott is a dynamic, engaging speaker who has lots of stories to share and is always a Summit favorite.

Television Syndicator
Cassie Yde, president of The Television Syndication Company
As an international syndicator for more than 25 years, Cassie is a living, breathing treasure trove of information that Summit attendees just can't get enough of. She explained in detail how syndication works, what types of shows are right for syndication and how to avoid mistakes that many producers make. She recently made a deal with one of our clients, Jim Trippon, on his Hidden China show.

Reality TV Producer/Director
Randy Baker, seated on the left, has hundreds of reality, sitcom and drama productions to his credit. He enlightened the group about the reality of reality programming and blew our minds with his well-informed take on the future of entertainment and how we'll consume it. Plus, he shared the incredible insights he gained for the research he did for his book about pitching. He interviewed top network programming and development executives about what makes a great pitch.

Animal Planet Series Creator/On-Air Talent
Rhett Banning, Rhett was one of the top news broadcasters for years in Canada at the Global Television Network. Rhett then left Global to start It Works! Television Productions, to create his own TV shows. The company started work in Washington D.C. in 1993, and five years later moved to Orlando, Florida, where it remains today. The company has worked on programs seen on Animal Planet, the USA Network, PBS, ABC, CBS, and NBC stations, CTV and Global TV stations in Canada, and Discovery International. He is the creator and producer of Zig & Zag: Alpha Dog Challenge for the Discovery Networks.

S

Series Creator/PBS Producer/Station Manager
Bill Suchy, created, executive produced, wrote and directed the Emmy nominated series Secrets of the Animal Kingdom, seen on ABC, Fox and in many other countries. Bill was also the head writer for Ed McMahon's NEXT BIG STAR television series and wrote and produced the number one rated health series on cable television, American Health and Fitness (FOX Health Network) and was segment creator, writer, producer and director for the hit series Rollerjam (TNN). He also produced the highly acclaimed PBS series Writing in the Upward Years (featuring poets Richard Eberhart, May Sarton and Molly Harrower.)

Bill has created, written and/or produced some of the most popular documentary programs on broadcast television, including the WNET, PBS Nature Special Cats, the Academy Award nominated feature documentary Building Bombs (narrated by Jane Alexander) and the acclaimed wildlife specials In Praise of Wild Florida and For the Love of Manatees. On the National Geographic Special, Realm of the Alligator, nominated for three Emmys (received two), Bill was creative and production consultant.

Presently, Bill is station manager for Orlando's Orange TV where he has created numerous original series.

Hollywood A-List Screenwriter
A. Wayne Carter, is a WGA writer who has worked for HBO, Universal, Paramount, National Lampoon and with such industry heavy-weights as Ed McMahon, James Cameron and Robin Williams. He's also a master pitchman who knows what works and he has the stories to prove it. We grilled Wayne about what makes a TV show great and got him to divulge some of his development secrets. He's a gifted story-teller who has worked on sitcoms, reality shows, dramas and feature films. Attendees love to work one-on-one with Wayne in the break-out sessions.

The Closer
Dave Lyons, on the left, is one of our success stories and happens to be an expert closer. He talked about how he landed distribution deal for his show Creepers after his FIRST pitch! He worked with our members on when to go for the close and how to do it.

Break-out Sessions are What Make
the Hit Makers Summit Unique.

We limit the number of attendees to only 30 for several good reasons:
* Small break-out sessions held every day mean that every member gets the full attention of the group multiple times
* We are accessible to everyone and give of our time generously.
*More one-on-one time for every attendee with top TV professionals we bring in as guest speakers and break-out group mentors.

Could we make more money by packing a cavernous hotel ballroom with people? Yes, of course, but we've chosen to make the Hit Makers Summit more like a small master mind group where creators passionate about selling their shows can actually see results after three days.

The people who come to our Summit are serious about selling their shows and they have the results to prove it.

Want to hear real-life stories from writers, producers,
and executives who have bought and sold shows?

Then the Hit Makers Summit is for YOU. There's nothing like hearing how others saved a deal, screwed up a sure thing, or why a show got picked up over one just like it.

Don't delay...The remaining seats will disappear FAST. Register NOW.

You Can't Lose with our No-Hassle 100% Money-back Guarantee!

If after the first day of the Summit you aren't more informed, more inspired, and more confident about selling your show, we'll refund your money - no questions asked. You have nothing to lose.

Hosted and Presented by the founders of Sell Your TV Concept Now, Inc.:
Mark Simon
Mark has worked on over 2,700 productions, landed over 20 distribution deals (Comedy Central, Nicktoons, G4), written 10 industry books and won over 75 international awards for shows he has produced and directed. He has worked with many networks on developing their concepts and travels the world speaking at conferences.

Jeanne Simon
Jeanne has produced over 400 episodes of TV for Nickelodeon, TNN, Animal Planet and Cartoon Network. She also created an entire network for Turner Broadcasting. Plus, she's co-developed numerous shows with Mark which have been sold and seen around the world.

We're going to take you by the hand and lead you past the hell of bad and incompetent pitches...past the smoking wreckage of flawed development and ruined dreams...and directly to the sort of inspired presentations that SELL shows.

Your head will spin with all the new ideas...tips, tricks, insights, rules and secrets that you'll learn. You'll laugh the next time someone says that only Hollywood insiders know how to pitch a TV show.
