I would like to show my script to a professional-consultant, but I have problems. If possible, write to the mail and I will tell the details.

In reply to Pamela. Sorry to hear about your experience, Pamela. And, yes, a huge percentage of the screenwriting contests out there lack meaningful industry connections.

You didn’t mention the script readers at screenwriting competitions. Who are they? Also, there seems to be a hint if you apply early bird there are more chances your script is even read. The late deadline with the largest fee seems to be a lost cause. When you think some of the top comps have 1000s of entries. I’ve only had one coverage assessment from one of the top festivals, just to gauge a reaction to the content. BUT by your above descriptions, it appears it could have been done by one of those shysters. How did I know because I’ve been a script consultant in many forms for years? I didn’t even get what I knew I was entitled to. No suggestions on how I could improve the script, some wrong things about the script itself. A paragraph on a trivial point. The script was very America-specific, but I got the impression this person had to google the subject matter that most Americans would have known about. I thought, did this person even spend an hour on this? I paid well over 100 dollars for it too.

In reply to Don.

And some our doubtless quite good, Don, but the point is that how they sell themselves is disingenuous.

If you’re a truly “pro” screenwriter…then you simply aren’t available for notes. Period.

Leveraging off a low five-figures script sale you made to a minor producer 5 years ago is, well, shady.

Was lol-ing bigtime reading this!

The “Faux-pro” and The RSC are definitely becoming more and more prevalent.

Yikes.

Great post, thanks.

I get IS’ point about the “Fauxpros”, in particular – they’re everywhere.

What a refreshingly honest blog! For once, somebody said it like it is.

I fell victim to a number of these tricks when I was starting out, but not anymore.

Well done to IS for blowing the whistle.
