Re: Black List founder Franklin Leonard answers your questions about the Black List
Please allow me to extend a public mea culpa to Franklin and The Black List...
Earlier in this thread I posted a late-night rant about how I thought this new venture wasn't worth it, that it probably would amount to taking advantage of writers, that it ain't any better than contests, and so on. Franklin was generously civil in his reply, and that was that for me.
Until... enticed by the success stories, Franklin's continuing responsiveness and professionalism on these threads, and the Black Friday discount for professional reads, like a cheap, hypocritical jerk I went ahead and sent in a rewrite of my (co-written) script, WRONGFUL. It was all very smooth and easy, and it was only $70 ($25 + $45) to take a shot at something potentially really big.
And I feel genuinely humbled and extremely excited that it just got an overall score of 9:
