If a writer asked me should I pay for notes and maybe get repped I'd probably say whoa - what is this company?? but on the other hand, I can't afford to read 1,000 scripts a week looking for clients. So what does a girl do? For the record, the writer I have chosen to proto-rep has never been a paid client. If I could have all my dreams come true, I'd never charge for notes. but I find it hard to pay my rent that way :)<BR/><BR/>@Mike - Pachew right back atcha. :)Julie Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14690487940378619749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8496585120938599514.post-74594758224751674432008-10-16T17:45:00.000-07:002008-10-16T17:45:00.000-07:00The title of this post reminds me of a joke I wrot...The title of this post reminds me of a joke I wrote fifteen years ago, but have yet to put in a script: Help Wanted - Zen Master - Apply Within.<BR/><BR/>Also, the title of my spec pilot is somewhere in your post. Though it's not "We are the World" or "Dramatic Tango".<BR/><BR/>Since you mentioned the possibility of becoming a manager, why don't agents and managers run a coverage division? Everyone says not to pay an agent to read your script, but I bet everyone would love it if you paid for notes/coverage and it had the possibility of being passed on to an agent. Is there really a conflict of interest?Keithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17970641911241417692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8496585120938599514.post-36040141661091147412008-10-16T17:18:00.000-07:002008-10-16T17:18:00.000-07:00Your passion to help writers and ensure great stor...Your passion to help writers and ensure great stories are created is contagious...
