Just got this email back from a rather high profile manager who requested a full script from me. (Mind you, this was shortly before the WGA mess)
"I finished your script and I really enjoyed it. You're obviously a talented writer, but honestly, the timing is awful. With this WGA/ATA mess, we are doing our jobs and now the jobs of the agents. So with that, and my projects moving closer to production, I am spread too thin and so really can only consider more established writers. Right now, I am just not able to deliver."
I seem to hear from everyone that, if it's not a "yes," it's a "soft pass." But to me, a "pass" is more of a "No thanks, we're not interested enough in your work." But this seems like more of a "I would sign you, but just don't have the time to help establish a new writer because of what's going on right now."
Not sure how to proceed. Leave it alone? Follow up?
