  • Re: 2012 HeartWalk: Get considered by Benderspink and Help Fight Heart Disease...

    Looks like 4-6 months for a response is about right. It's not being ungrateful to want to know how long it takes for an answer, as a number of writers have already asked this question (on this forum and the Amazon Studios forum). It's certainly normal for any writer to want to know this. Regarding what is a good script, you would have to agree this is a very subjective judgement. I suspect Dan has already taken a pass on scripts that have either won screenplay contests or received very favorable reviews from other readers and taken a pass for one reason or another. There are so many examples of scripts that were passed on entirely by everyone in Hollywood, and then went on to be independently produced and became winners. These decisions about scripts are very personal.

        Why don't you query the normal way, and when you get a bite, tell the person reading it that you want an exact date for when you'll hear back from them. Then let us know how that works out for you.

        Don't even bother yourself with negativity. You've done such a wonderful thing, no need to muddle it with dirty water.

          I agree - you get some negative nancy's here for sure, but AS is FULL of 'em.

            We are gearing up to start up the 2013 drive in the coming weeks.

            If you've submitted for 2012 and still haven't heard back, please email me to follow up and we'll see where Dan is at with your read.

            Thanks.
