September 16, 2012, 7:03 pm
@TaroJ: Hi all #scriptchat
September 16, 2012, 7:03 pm
@teenierussell: I think one of the more common questions,
especially among new writers, is how do I get an agent? and the usual answer I
see is #scriptchat

Sitcom is in huge demand so a lot of companies will read them #scriptchat

@robinbellwriter: @antonsays @teenierussell which companies I've
found a lot of closed doors with sitcoms? #scriptchat
September 16, 2012, 7:07 pm
@teenierussell: As @antonsays one way to get read is to
actually submit your work, usually by means of a query letter. #scriptchat

doors can be opened up with a good phone call, if they like your idea they
often allow it #scriptchat
September 16, 2012, 7:09 pm
@teenierussell: But do your research, and if possible find a
name to submit your work to rather than generic copy/paste emails #scriptchat
September 16, 2012, 7:09 pm
@antonsays: #scriptchat for sitcom, I would phone up any
prodco and ask if you can send in a sitcom. You'd be surprised how many closed
door ones will
September 16, 2012, 7:09 pm
@teenierussell: Lots of blog posts out there about query
letters. #scriptchat
September 16, 2012, 7:10 pm
@Pale_Jewel: @teenierussell So I think writers should
concentrate on finding producers to read scripts rather than agents...

@teenierussell: If you have a paid IMDB account, from what
I've heard, you can find contact details for the prod cos (anyone know if
true?) #scriptchat
September 16, 2012, 7:14 pm
@antonsays: #scriptchat obviously @londonswf helps as you
can pitch there and meet loads of producers.
September 16, 2012, 7:15 pm
@Sonic_Screwup: @teenierussell that’s still 100% down to
you. It will always come back to the writing. Having an agent isn’t validation.
