Building your Network

Building your Network

A scriptwriter's job is an isolated and lonely one.

Once you've completed your script, who do you send it to? It's well known unsolicited submissions don't even get opened, let alone read.

Not entirely true.

Sure, it's hard to get anyone to open an unsolicited email these days, but there's a percentage of people that still do. And a good, clean query, with a high concept logline can lead to something. Because at the end of the day, everyone is looking for that diamond in the rough.

The problem is that most queries are bad to begin with, and are most certainly deleted after jumping straight to the logline.

Got a script request off a cold query email as I was reading your post, Terrance!
