Therefore, Paul Robert Coyle’s Star Trek: Voyager pitch is so special because he sold it in the room and got to immediately start working on his outline, after which he got hearty congratulations from Deep Space Nine showrunner Ira Steven Behr.
Sadly, after submitting a script and a rewrite, the producers got others (Chris Abbott and, uncredited, Michael Piller) to write the “State of Flux” episode that aired on television. Coyle took the rejection nicely enough, but he will always have the honor of being the first freelance to pitch a Voyager episode and being the writer to make television history by selling his very first pitch right there in the room.
