      Daniel himself has pretty eclectic tastes but we all know Benderspink (and everybody else for that matter) skews more toward commercial fare.

        This has to be the best idea I've seen in a long time. Congrats to Joe and Daniel for doing this.

          Wow, thank you Joe. I'm definitely going to donate because it's a great cause... having someone at Benderspink read your work ain't too bad eithier.

              This is an amazing idea. If I wasn't repped I would do it, and if every single un-repped writer on this board doesn't JUMP on this idea (at the $50 mark, FWIW) then...I'm not sure what you're doing here!

              Seriously, for $50 this is like winning a major screenplay contest. Anyone who's been hanging around here for a while knows what a crapshoot it is for your query to get read and responded to, MUCH LESS the first half of your script ... it's not like he's offering to read log lines (which would be a coup in itself) or the first ten pages ... anyone who's ever read a handful of scripts knows that you can tell in the first 25 or 50 pp. if the script is any good...

              Kudos to all supporting a great cause and a generous offer.

                Thanks, Justin, and everybody else for your kind words.

                Aside from supporting the AHA's great cause, my hope is that somebody gets repped out of this and/or a handful of people make a contact that they can smoothly submit future work to that will possibly get them repped. Daniel has made it clear to me that if the pages he's agreed to read are compelling he will definitely read on. If he finds a diamond in the rough that generates a client or a project for Benderspink then it's a win/win for him, too. He WANTS to read more than 25/50 pages - it's up to the material to compel him to do that, though.

                Good luck to everybody!

                  Wow, this has caused me to de-lurk and make my first post. A great cause and an amazing offer wrapped together, thanks to you and Daniel, Joe. I just had a question tho, is it just for one script? Or can we pay more for more than one script?

                    You can break it up however you want, Jack. If you wanted to donate $100 to guarantee the first 50 pages of two of your scripts get read then that's cool. If you wanted to donate $50 to guarantee that the first 25 pages of two of your scripts get read then that's cool, too. Just make your donation and let me know via PM.

                      This is truly a win win idea. I'm in. Thanks for both the chance of getting repped and the chance to help an important cause.

                          Thanks Joe
                          You've brought another lurker out of hiding here.
                          Actually I 've only been lurking for half an hour, just found this board this morning...I'm feeling pretty good about this place so far!
                          Couldn't think of a better way to start posting.
                          Cheers

                            All the thanks goes to Daniel. Fortunately he's a screenplay addict.

                              is there an option for Daniel to give us honest notes on our script if we donate more on top of the cost of the read?
