    What People Are Saying...

     

    "I hired Scott Manville in May of 2009 to help develop an idea for a half-hour cable reality series. The process took roughly a month to complete, and by the end of July 2009 I had a Production Company pick up the idea and schedule a pilot shoot! I must say I was very impressed with Scott's knowledge, understanding, and professionalism. In pitching to several production companies, one even referred to him as a "Legend" in the business of development. Scott took my ideas and research and compacted it into a top caliber concept that you will likely see on the networks soon!

    I've been in TV both on and off air for 10 years, and I can tell you that Scott works wonders for a reasonable amount of money. What the success of the concept comes down to is how revolutionary you idea is and your tenacity to get it picked up. If you are thinking about hiring Scott, those with faith and determination bring dreams to reality. If Scott helps you develop the concept and you don't aggressively follow through on marketing your idea to Production Companies, you WILL NOT succeed.

    For those of you who truly believe your idea is something people need and want to see, I highly recommend Scott Manville's services. He makes the process comfortable, detailed, and affordable. If you have the right attitude from there, the rest will be history!"

    "I would like to personally extend a heartfelt thank you to Scott Manville at The TV Writers Vault for streamlining his invaluable insight behind the convoluted, and often shrewd world called: Hollywood! 
     
    The TV Writers Vault is the quintessential forum to showcase an up-and-coming writers true talents; writing!  In a world filled with incessant droning about "poor customer service", I was refreshed to discover that Scott happens to be the exception to the rule. Point and case, he personally responded to all of my countless e-mails.  Each response was accurate with regard to "industry" standards, candid, friendly, and ultimately priceless.
     
    My advice for any would-be writer...you could opt for going it alone, or you could make it easy on yourself by joining The Writers Vault!  I'd say the answer is pretty simple!"
     
    Michael Sitler - Port Orchard, WA.

    "Scott, thank you so much for creating the TV Writers Vault. Having been an "idea" guy my whole life, I never felt like I had an outlet. But since I found your resource, I have found a whole new passion. I joined 2 weeks ago, and have since submitted 5 concepts. By simply reading the available interviews, success stories, and other resources available on your site, I have learned to hone my skills. My last submission received an "Under Consideration" less than 24 hours after I submitted it. Now, having learned that it takes more than just an "idea", I have been able to go back and further develop my other 4 concepts to be more marketable. I can absolutely tell the difference between my first submissions (that were all reviewed) and my current skill level. I can only imagine how much more I can learn as I continue working through the TV Writers Vault." 

    Steven Sandberg  -  Tualatin, OR.

    "After developing a detailed project synopsis, my next challenge involved finding an avenue to pitch my proposal to Networks and Production Companies. Although I am a published Author, this genre is new to me, and the process of reaching Producers is quite different. I was thrilled to find the TV Writers Vault! The exposure, contacts, resources, and services are incredibly valuable for Writers who want to move their projects forward. Thank you TV Writers Vault for the opportunity to gauge interest in my project."

    Linda Wong - Published Author - Las Vegas, NV.

    "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."

    Jenny Rowlett - Rockton, IL.

    "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!"

    "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."

    Cheryl L. Bunkley - College Park, GA

    _______________________________________________

    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!

    Todd Wise - Lincoln, CA

    "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."

    Dennis Robinson - APO, AE

    _______________________________________________

    "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."

    Robert Heckerl, Seoul, Korea and Seattle, WA

    "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!"

    TJ Pendergast - Minneapolis, MN

    "The TV Writers Vaulthas 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!"

    Dawn Stephens - Phoenix, AZ

    "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!"

    Remo Rosati - Ontario, CAN

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."

    "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."
