Re: Seth Lockhart
Seth,
I'm well aware that most specs don't sell. I didn't just tumble off the turnip truck, dear.
Besides, I wasn't referring specifically to you when I made the comment about reps who might be able to land their clients meeting after meeting but can't sell their work and get them an assignment.
Kind of like the guy who can wine and dine the girl but can't get laid at the end of the night.
As we all know, money puts food on the table. Not meetings that go nowhere.
In regard to the fourth or fifth spec that you're referring to, what makes you think that a writer would come to you with the first script they ever wrote?
I'm sure some do. But most know better. They've honed their craft and are up to script number ten or more.
I've written at least twenty scripts in ten years.
But it sounds like you're saying that it's common for your clients to write six scripts after having been repped by you before they sell something. That seems weird.
Anyway, it couldn't hurt for you to tell us how many scripts you've sold. You don't have to specify the writer or the money but surely you can reveal the number of scripts that you've sold for your clients, can't you?
It's a decent question.
And one I think that all writers should ask a prospective rep.
