  • ABC Fellowship

    Looks like 100 emails went out last week (9/18) requesting new material for the next round.

    "Thank you for applying to the 2014 Disney ABC Writing Program. We are in the process of reviewing applications and reading material. In the event we need additional material, please send us your original specby Tuesday September 24th, 11:59 pm PST, with a completed release form (attached)."

    Any DDers get the email?

    Hi!
    I received the email. How do you know only 100 people received it? I ask because I know a few who did, so 100 seems like a low number.
    Anyway, congrats!

      I got the email. And I know a few others who got it, too. 100 does seem like a low number.

      Has anyone received a follow up?

        It may seem like a low number, but that's what I heard from a friend at ABC.

            Question for all those who entered, I know you need a letter of recommendation or something like that. How does someone go about obtaining that if they aren't in the current industry?

                They want two letters--and they are very clear that they want writers with some industry experience already (ex. Writer's assistant, etc.). If you write an amazing spec, they might overlook the lack of previous industry experience, but again, they want experienced writers who already know the business. They don't want to be a training program. They want to staff their writers during or right after the program.

                If you don't know anyone in the industry--get out there and network. That's a big part of becoming a professional writer and the reason they ask for the rec letter.

                  I haven't heard anything since the email.
                  Has anyone else?

                      my understanding from members of my writing group is that the fellows were selected on Friday.

                          Ah, that's what they meant by "the list." So just finalists at this point.

                              Congrats to those that made it.


                              Just curious, how did you guys get those letters of recommendation? Do you already have to be in the industry to make it in?
