Hey everyone.

I am working on a animated show called Crimson Star. It started as a comic but didn't work out.

Anyways, I sent a crapload of query emails to animation companies about sending them my pilot script.

Aniplex turned me down, but that was because they do their anime from the inside. I hadn't checked my Gmail in a week and something told me to do so. I look, and I see an email from Toei. Figure it was another rejection, but, nope:

Thank you for your e-mail.

We accept to receive a story you composed.
Please understand that we will give you a response only when we need,
and we do not return the work submitted.

Is there anything I should know before I send the script? Anything I should add? Or should I just say thank you for the consideration and send the script?

Thanks,

-Kristen

Send a short and polite cover letter with your script.

Then do two things:

Keep sending out queries.
Start working on your next script.

Maybe common sense kicked in. If you sent out tons of e-queries why would you wait a week to check for responses? (Rhetorical question.)
