Hi guys,
Long story short I have a big TV prodco really interested in a series pitch of mine. They've read a writing sample and liked that too. There's no pilot yet, and next week we will be discussing specifics.
Just wondering what to expect. Will they ask me to write the pilot on spec? I know that happens a lot but I also know a lot of times they will contract the writer to write the pilot. My thinking is if I were to write it on spec I could take it somewhere else potentially.
Has anyone had experience with this? I don't want to damage the deal but I'd really prefer to take a small fee for writing it so I can make it my primary focus.
I'm totally new to the TV world so any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
