@Georgerruiz Hi! I read scripts and provide verbal broad-strokes notes as part of career coaching relationships; you can include a script read with your intake if you would like me to look at your work prior to our session.

@LeeZJessup Lee, do you read script drafts and give notes? I didn’t see that as one of your services, I’d be interested.

@jryoumans thanks so much for taking the time! glad to hear it was helpful.

@LeeZJessup Thank you, @LeeZJessup. I enjoyed reading your blog. Your opinion is always informative and appreciated. ✍️🎬

We hear a ton about the great industry contraction. "Survive to 25." But what does it mean for writers trying to break into #screenwriting, #TVwriting and getting repped? I break it down in my most recent blogpost. #scriptchat #amwriting buff.ly/46Q5hRG

@timwestland Only spec for the fellowship, and when you do there's often a list to pick from. That said, I believe the Paramount program is the only one that is currently accepting specs. #scriptchat

@ProfessorofPop1 Of course! If someone that they know and trust surfaces a particular writer to them, they would absolute consider them. I work with a writer who was unrepped and was hired for her first show after meeting the showrunner at a bbq. #scriptchat

@LeeZJessup Do showrunners consider non repped writers? #scriptchat

alright, bring it on guys! I'm here to answer ALL of it with as few spelling mistakes as I can make! #Scriptchat

thanks for hanging out with me tonight! it's been a blast! #Scriptchat

@jeannevb I've worked with writers who've gone on to become showrunners, build huge careers in TV and film. One of the many reasons why I #lovemyjob #scriptchat

So, @LeeZJessup, tell us your favorite success story of one of your clients ... you can use more than one post haha #scriptchat

@jeannevb @CrosbySelander was finalist in a @ScriptPipeline comp, went on to sell his feature script to Legendary for 7 figures which just does not happen any more. @eladziv won a comp with same company was then #2 on @theblcklst. #scriptchat

@jeannevb I mean... where do I begin! I've been beyond lucky to work with writers that have gone from just-starting-out to big #screenwriting career! #scriptchat

@jeannevb @LisaLueyLutes @P_Hendrickson @Codename_LEON @KathyHolzapfel @ScriptPipeline @VPFest @roadmapwriters Lead with your personal connection to the work, whether it's live experience or thematic. Keep it short and to the point - can't track a ton of story turns! If it's a feature give us a beginning-middle-end don't stop at setup! #scriptchat

@LeeZJessup @LisaLueyLutes @P_Hendrickson @Codename_LEON @KathyHolzapfel @ScriptPipeline @VPFest @roadmapwriters So speaking of pitching ... any tips once a writer gets that big meeting? #scriptchat

@SWriter222 @LisaLueyLutes @P_Hendrickson @Codename_LEON @KathyHolzapfel @ScriptPipeline @VPFest @roadmapwriters Screencraft does them every few months. next one is (I think) September #scriptchat

@LisaLueyLutes @P_Hendrickson @LeeZJessup @Codename_LEON @KathyHolzapfel @ScriptPipeline @VPFest @roadmapwriters When is pitch week?? #scriptchat
