@TaroJ: Hi all #scriptchat

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
