Greetings Writers & Friends -
TRIVIA!-For
500 Points:
What
does a Housewife, a Tire Store Manager, a
Used-Car Salesman, a Mother/Entreprenuer,
a Financial Services Manager, a Real
Estate Agent, and an Escape Artist all
have in common...?
Spring has certainly sprung good things
for many of you pitching concepts at the
TV Writers Vault, and we're so proud of
those who have taken a "dream" and applied
real sweat and tears, forging their way to
success. The industry is not a closed
community, but a collaborative machine
that seeks out those with compelling
stories and truly original ideas to
translate into shows. Congratulations to
all of you making connections with
Producers, and landing producing deals for
your projects.
The
past month has seen over 600 projects
officially reviewed by companies such as
20th Century Fox TV, E1 Entertainment,
Sony Pictures Television, and others. 15
Writers were contacted by Producers, and 3
more option-deals are pending.
Thank you for the dedication you've
shown to your creative efforts, and I
wish all of you the best of luck
connecting with our Producers scouting
your projects.
Write Inspired,
Scott Manville
