Screenwriter looking for insight and encouragement

[Alston]

Hey guys! Hope you're well.
I enjoy screenwriting as a hobby and curious for any insight/advice on the pursuit of turning these ideas/stories (historical-fiction genre) into full projects.
Thanks very much!

Mainly they are pilots for series but some can be good for a film.
Just curious where to start pitching the scirpts after finalizing the screenplay. Looking for people open to hearing new projects and ideas.

Hi Alston.
Don't worry about pitching a TV series until you have a bible written. A series bible gives a potential Producer and idea where the series is going, both creatively and budget-wise.
For now, best advice is to write the pilot with an emphasis on the characters, not the action. Action comes and goes, and it's on a dozen other shows. Your characters are only on your show. They're your chance to stand out.
