"New" in the sense of being previously unsold.
I collected the following stats:
Number of spec scripts sold in the past few years:
2008: 87
2009: 68
2010: 55
2011: 109
(Source: http://gointothestory.blcklst.com/20...2-contd-2.html)
I assume that almost all of those specs are sold by pros with previous writing credits.
After Googling around, I couldn't get a figure for the number of specs sold by writers who hadn't previously sold a spec (or had a writing assignment).
Maybe 10% is an optimistic guess? Does anyone have the real # -- and a source to back it up?
