Obviously I'm new. And, no, it wasn't offered to me; I just saw it on the Script Sales page. I'm guessing it means the writer gets paid $300,000 by the studio/production company for an option period, and the remainder if it actually goes into production. Right?
If so, is there a standard option period? Assuming writers with a track record have more negotiating power. Or does the option period fluctuate to meet the current buying climate?
Thanks in advance (no pun intended),
