The process is slightly different for each network, but first you should have a series bible. That includes the basic synopsis, knowing the story's beginning middle and end, concept art, character descriptions and designs, and have several ideas for episodes.

Then once you have that, you contact the network by phone number, which is usually on the corporate site. Ask them if you can make an appointment to pitch the series. You head to the network's location and you pitch it there, where you will pitch the idea to several people.

If they like the idea, they'll turn it into a series. If not, then you take the suggestions they offer to you to make it better and try again, or pitch to another network.

Also, knowing people in the industry helps get your foot in the door a little easier.

When someone asked Dwayne McDuffie on his Q&A he said having a good agent is imperative. That's all I can add to what Dudley said.

I'd figure this topic is more appropriate here, so I moved it. Just a FYI.
