The following testimony has been given by member Writers who have used, or are currently using the services of The TV Writers Vault to pitch TV scripts, ideas, and properties in any format of original TV programming. All testimony has been given voluntarily for no monetary compensation.]

"TV Writers Vault is a valuable resource, it’s a great place for me to get a pulse on the latest reality sports ideas coming down the pike – and align SportsBrandedMedia with the best and the brightest”

"The Television Writers Vault has made a tremendous difference in my life as a Writer. So many doors have opened for me in my writing career that I can't even express how grateful I am. Scott Manville has been wonderful since day one. Every time I'd have a question, he would always get back to me with answers and took the time to explain things to me when I needed help.

Since I've made contact with a production company (Kingfish Productions), my project is getting further along than I'd have even imagined. I owe it to TV Writers Vault! Thanks for everything Scott."

"TV Writers Vault is an excellent resource for Writers/Creators looking to get their ideas out to a broad market quickly and effectively. In the six months that I've had my Treatment up with TV Writers Vault, it has been reviewed by five different production companies, and I just spoke this morning to the CEO of a production company looking to take it to the next step. In addition to the ease of posting your Treatments, Scott Manville is quick to help with connecting interested parties. Thank you for putting together such a great Web site!"

"TV Writers Vault gave me the opportunity to see exactly what producers were looking for in a script. It was nice to have my projects reviewed in a protected platform. Scott was instrumental in introducing me to a producer who i'm now collaborating with on several projects. I have recommended TVwritersvault.com to several people. Thanks Scott!"

"www.tvwritersvault.com has been an amazing avenue for my work. It helped put my projects on the map in a way no other site could."

"As a young and aspiring television writer, I found The TV Writers Vault much more than just a window to present my ideas. I found a wealth of pertinent information on the television industry and it's needs. The people behind The TV Writers Vault are very knowlegable and their insights were instrumental in improving the quality of my projects. Thanks TV Writers Vault!"

"I'm thrilled to have my project now under consideration by a major Network studio! Thanks for helping mediate this process, and I hope that other writers realize how professional and helpful you guys are. All of the people who work to make your service function correctly are both supportive and encouraging. I thank you very much, and may the TV Writers Vault remain always successful.

"Having been through the process of looking for an agent in L.A. and having spoken with organizations such as William Morris, I have come to realize that the TV Writers Vault offers a chance for the non-L.A. writer to have his or her name and ideas shared with the cream-of-the-crop, and potentially find a way into a studio. Although this is never an easy process, with one idea already under review in less than a week of joining this service, I can say that The TV Writers Vault is by far the most positive and progressive writers organization I have seen come out of Hollywood."

Wow, I honestly don't know what I would do without the TV Writers Vault. First of all, I can't begin to tell you how wonderful and kind the people are who run the site. They're helpful, very caring, and even go to the trouble of giving you updates via e-mail. The service is just excellent! For the longest time, I've been putting an idea together, with no place to turn. Coming here was a dream come true. Whoever would have thought there was a site so effective. If I knew about this site, I would have been here a long time ago. I was totally floored when I opened up my e-mail and found out there was executive activity on a project of mine. I just thought ‘I must be dreaming.’ This site really deserves to be applauded. They give a lot of guidance, so do read over the information they provide. I’d just like to thank Scott Manville first and foremost, and all the people who’ve put it together, so very much.

"I have received more than 9 reviews of my submissions- which is great! The up-to-the-minute review of submissions provides writers the opportunity to see production companies reviewing their work. The Logline samples from various genres have also been helpful."

I originally posted one television program synopsis in hopes of getting some feedback within the term of my membership. In just a few days, I had a top production company reviewed my idea. I was so inspired that I posted a second project which has also been chosen for review by another company. In a business where "getting in the door" is nearly impossible, TV Writer's Vault opens that door in a way that is convenient for writers and non-threatening to producers. Thanks!

"I can't tell you what a gift it is to have the Writers Vault at my disposal. Being a Writer, I constantly have ideas streaming through my mind, and the Television Writers Vault is ideal for channeling those ideas. My sincere gratitude goes to the creators of this outstanding service."

"Fifteen years ago I had optioned an original screenplay, was being paid to adapt one of the 20th centuries greatest novels, and had an agent. I also got married and started a family. My family priorities (making steady income) became my focus and I became a regular 'working stiff'. My writing took a backseat to my workaday obligations.

Now that my 3 kids are more or less able to fend for themselves and I have some financial security, I have found that my creative energies are returning stronger than ever. Thank goodness for the TV Writers Vault. I posted three projects in the vault and, within a week, had two reviews. As for my kids? They helped brainstorm two of the projects and they are now totally into it. You may just be helping to create the next sibling entertainment powerhouse! Thanks for all you do."

"I left the business years ago because of the lack of outlets for writers to present their ideas to qualified production companies. At first, I was a bit skeptical about this service, but the statement of ethics, and having actual production companies review my projects has encouraged me to work all that much more to present a better quality of project. I am also impressed with the added value of having sections with content to educate me on how to construct better projects that are relevant and timely. AND, the price is right! Thanks to all!"

"The TV Writers Vault has enabled those yet to be established writers, without connections in the Industry, to get their ideas and material looked at from accredited producers and executives. This alone is a breakthrough in the television industry. Thanks for starting this service!"

"Hollywood is a rather closed community, and if you don't know anyone, the chances of ever having anything produced are slim to none. Within a day of posting my project in the TV Writers Vault I received a review from a production company, with six companies selecting my project for review to date. You give writers a real shot at getting their projects developed. Keep up the good work!"

"I continue to be very pleased with TVWritersVault.com . First, and foremost, you provide a great value of service by helping writers get their treatments to decision makers. Secondly, your "Mandates and Trends" updates are very helpful."

"TvWritersVault.com gives everyone a chance to showcase their work.... they make it much easier to do than any other website... and they treat you with respect! Because of these three major positives, TVWritersVault.com is the only (industry related) website that I am willing to "pay" for their services.

"Two weeks into registering two concepts and a script with the TV Writers Vault I was contacted by a development executive whom I now have as a direct contact to pitch any time. TV Writers Vault has helped by encouraging me to be proactive with these new contacts. I'll be sure to return to get my work recognized by other production companies using tvwritersvault.com to find new projects. Thanks to Scott for all of his insight and encouragement."

"You've created an incredible tool for writers that is appreciated beyond measure. You guys are truly looking out for the creators."

"The TV Writers Vault is a very positive and reassuring experience when it comes to marketing my television scripts and treatments. Being able to see the production houses review my work makes the site very valuable. The "Mandates and Trends" posting allows a writer to concentrate their work first and foremost. My experience with The TV Writers Vault has only been positive, and I've recommended it to others."

"This is the first time that I have tried to market a show, and have found that the "Mandates and Trends" area helps me to know that I'm going in the right direction with my show ideas. And having electronic proof of industry review DEFINITELY lets me know whether or not I have an effective logline and show idea."

"I had one company request contact with me to discuss my television project, and now I have them as a direct contact. I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for new production companies using The TV Writers Vault. Well worth it!"

"Your business has given so many writers a chance to have their material reviewed, and this is more wonderful than you can imagine! I consider myself fortunate to have found your service."

"With so much information on the net about pitching movie scripts and ideas, it was a relief to finally find a resource to help me develop and pitch the many ideas I've had for Television projects. The project status page is a great tool for writers. Thanks guys!"

"The TV Writers Vault gives me confidence in the pitching process. I'm able to see which company has reviewed my projects, as well as having the companies reviewing under a confidentiality agreement... that's something I can't get when pitching direct to production houses."
