So, I'm in a bit of a strange situation where I have a script (one hour TV pilot) that I feel pretty good about, but I can't get anybody to read it. I'm not saying this script is the next Emmy winner or that I expect Mickey Mouse to bust down my door and shove a million dollars in my pocket, but I've been floating the script around to various outlets for feedback and I've gotten enough positive signals to believe it's worth peddling, even if only as a writing sample. Yet when I send out queries I'm met with absolute radio silence.
Obviously results are going to vary depending on you, your specific pitch, and random dumb luck, but what's a realistic batting average for garnering read requests from managers/lit agents? Should I be reaching out to production companies?
I've been writing for a long time, but I've been focused more on improving my craft than pushing stuff on people, so this is new territory for me.
