| WRITER / EXECUTIVE
RELATIONS PROTOCOL -
The
Television Writers
Vault is a television industry service that places the highest
priority on the protection and discretion of its subscribing
Writers and Industry Executives. The most critical element that
supports this unique service is the continued confidence and
support by our subscribing television executives and companies. It is important
for all subscribing writers to understand the demands each
executive is immersed in, and that they are in fact involved in a
very specialized process. Even though the foundation of that
process is collaboration, they are very discerning about with
whom, and why they collaborate.
Executives and
Producers as a whole do not take unsolicited inquiries. As requested in
our agreement with our member executives, only when they request to
contact a writer (as reflected in the writers Project Status Page) do they
wish to discuss that specific project. We then provide the executive with
the writers direct contact information, and it is the executive's sole
discretion as to when or if they contact the writer. If the executive does
not contact the writer within a week, we ask that the writer contact us
and we will send the executive a reminder of their request.
If an
Executive has "reviewed" any project, or has placed a status of "under
consideration" on any project posted, those statuses mean exactly and only
that. A typical development executive usually manages about a dozen
projects that are in various stages of development or production at a
network, along with a larger slate of projects that are in development
in-house at their company under option. In addition to those priorities
are the scouting and acquisition of new projects such as those posted
within the TVWritersVault.com database. New projects are usually going to
be addressed after more urgent priorities are met with shows that
they have in production. For this reason we prohibit our writers from
making any unsolicited calls to our member Executives regarding simple
"reviewed" or "under consideration" statuses. Those are given to you as a
courtesy for your own protection.
When a company
or Executive engages any Writer member in discussions or negotiations for
the purchase of a project, you the Writer will have direct access and
communications with those executives via any representative or
entertainment attorney of your choice. We work to promote the relations
and creations of all of our writers and do not take any form of
participation from either side beyond the introduction and promoting of a
Writer's project within
The Television Writers Vault.
The project status
report provided to all writers upon approval and posting of projects is
privileged information as a courtesy to our writers. Executives are
under agreement to report back to us any writer from our website who
contacts them without solicitation. We reserve the right to remove
that writer's projects from our database with no reimbursement of fee.
Only upon "Requesting Writer Contact" will we then forward your contact
information to the executive and they will call you directly. Thank you
for respecting our policies, as it preserves our relations with the
industry executives who buy your shows.
Our goal is to
build our reputation as a premiere creative source for television industry
executives and companies. We will do that by protecting and preserving our
executive relations, and fulfilling yours and the executive's goal of connecting with the next hit television property.
We wish you
the best of success-
