He recommends writers always asks two questions: &amp;ldquo;what makes your variation of the story a little different?&amp;rdquo; and, &amp;ldquo;what are the elements that make this story sellable?&amp;rdquo; In the clip below, Watanabe describes the nuance of what makes a story sellable. Even stories that aren&amp;rsquo;t obviously sellable can have elements that make it compelling to wide audiences or under-addressed markets. He talks through different unlikely examples and explains how you can frame your book pitch in a way that appeals to Hollywood.
