  • Response from a Fax?

    Curious...has anyone ever gotten a read request from a query letter they faxed?

    Re: Response from a Fax?

    Hmmm I'd be curious too. The only read requests I ever get have only been from eQueries. I don't even bother to send letters or faxes anymore.
    My first crack at a logline usually makes a great synopsis!

      I have sent a few fax queries. And, I have gotten a few requests that way. But, I have included my email on the fax and they usually email me the send request.

        This might not help much but I've had a few people ask me not to fax. Email is so manageable these days it's generally more user-friendly for both parties.

          Believe me, I'm all for the email. But there's those sly places that I can't seem to get an addy for (but have a fax # for).

            Faxing has never worked for me. Try calling.

              I've never gotten a single response from a fax. Only a few from e-queries.

              Calling has been the scariest but most effective way for me.

              I usually open with, "Hi, this is detective Corona with the LAPD. May I please speak to Mr. Such-And-Such?"

              I get, "Sure, may I ask what this is about?"

              I say, "Are you interfering with a police investigation? You have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law."

              He says, "Wait wait, hold on hold on. I'll check if he's in."

              I say, "If you should give up that right to remain silent-"

              He says, "Okay okay, I'll get 'im."

              Then he comes on all scared, "Detective Corona?"

              I say, "Nah, man. I ain't really a detective. I mean I am when I spy on my daughter but-"

              CLICK.

              I get that when it's a pass.

                      I've had very good luck with faxes. I faxed a query to Selective Entertainment. They asked me to fax over the script so I did. They just sold the script yesterday for $600,000 against $1,200,000. They're now faxing me the check.
