      that's a lot of loglines and writers looking for help with writing something great... surprised the numbers were so high.

        I am, too. I expected a few hundred. I hope Scott has a good opthamologist.

        I did not submit myself, but my good friend sent in a few loglines and he wrote her back the same day to tell her he'd received them, etc. Very professional.

          Scott posted the 21 writers that made the initial cut.

          Any Done Deal Pro folks on that list?

            I didn't submit anything, but I know two people on the list who I consider very competent, "on the verge" writers. I'll have to send them my congratulations.

              So he is going to launch this mentorship without reading any samples? Just based on the loglines? If this is the case, then he's seriously deluded.

                No. He selected the 21 finalists based on loglines, but he will read writing samples from those finalists as part of the process for selecting the 4 participants.

                    I should hope so.

                      It's a very long-winded process. I think he should do what Scriptshadow did, read the scripts himself, pick a few winners, forget the class, do a mentorship if need be, then champion the snot out of the scripts.

                      But he's got classes that last for months, more promotion and blogs about the class, and by the time it's done the enthusiasm will be half of what it was.

                        He's a teacher, not a marketer. He's teaching. Scriptshadow markets. Those are two entirely different points of view on the industry.

                          I only recognize one name from the list. Could be I know others from their online handles only.

                          Glad to see some female names there.

                          Scott also has a running feature where he's listing all the spec sale (& their pertinent info) dating from the 90s. Each yr gets its own post. Good reference. Check it out.
