  • This was simply fantastic. Loads of great advice. Have a plan and center on the big contests. Network. Know the industry. Know what’s happening where, when and how. I ordered the book KILL THE DOG right away. And I will work my second job to get that subsciption to TRACKING B.

  • Love this! Definitely good info. The statistics on how many scripts are registered with WGA vs how many sold is mind blowing. I’d like to learn more about ways to practice pitching me to prepare for those upcoming meetings. I like the question that you proposed to ask toward the end of a meeting. That’s a good one! Lots of good nuggets here, especially regarding Contracts and Legal Protections plus the types of writing agreements. Thank you.

  • Oh my gosh so many screenplays that are looked at and barely any are contracted.

    There is so much I learned with this podcast:
    No unsolicited submissions policy

    Spec showing you can write circles around anyone.

    Hire for the next rewrite.

    I love, love, love the ambiance and the delivery behind this podcast

    The details on the contracts, is just wow. I am blown away.

    This is so amazing and so in-depth.

    My only feedback is continue to provide all of the information needed.

    THANK YOU!
