Just over three years ago, I posted here on Done Deal. I wanted to start a notes service, or maybe hold a contest, and I needed some feedback. Well, after nearly ten years of planning -- and four years of writing site copy -- I launched a site on New Year's Eve.
It's called Little Raj Writing Help, and it's over at heylittleraj.com.
I should probably write a bit more in this space, but there are long, detailed explanations in both the "About" section and the "Notes" section. I may have overcompensated a bit, but since the last thing our world needs is another notes site or writing contest, I felt compelled to explain myself in full.
In short, I'm offering an affordable, no-frills notes service that can genuinely help both myself and others. Ten years ago, I sold a screenplay to The Weinstein Company, and later made The Black List. I couldn't have done it without a combination of free notes and paid notes. Today, in the notes-giving world as it presently stands, I believe my qualifications are as strong as anyone's, and my prices are as *low* as anyone's.
I also plan to hold contests that give away a higher percentage of revenue than any contests around. (A much, *much* higher percentage.) My breakthrough script was rejected by every contest I applied to, but just two years later, A-list producers wanted to make it, and A-list actors chased it. As such, it'd be nice to have a contest where writers know the name of the person standing in judgment of their work.
As you'll see in the "About" section, I want to buy my script back, but really, I want in on the action. If I can't bring my own work to life, I'd love to be a part of other people's triumphs.
If you have any questions, I'd obviously be happy to answer them. Also, don't be a stranger. Feel free to reach out to me directly, as I was nervous about launching the site (and still am), but I've been overjoyed by the response to it.
I know the mobile version is buggy, but I'm a writer, not a designer, and I've got someone trying to help with that. Still, if you can get through the site copy, I'd love to hear your thoughts.
Also, thank you.
