I used to think cold-querying managers was a waste of time. Now? I've seen it work enough that I actively recommend it—especially if you don't have industry connections. Here's my formula for emails that actually get responses. 🧵⤵️

We need to talk about writing "failures." That pilot no one wanted? That pitch that bombed? They're not evidence you don't belong—they're proof you're doing the hard, necessary work of finding your voice. This is a marathon, not a sprint.

Writers: Next time you're stuck on a script, try this - instead of obsessing over what's broken, make a list of what's working. Strong dialogue? Great characters? Killer premise? Build from your strengths. Your script has good bones - your job is to find them.

Let's start the week off right by setting writing goals!
What are your goals: new pages, edits, or rewrites? We would love to know 😍
We will check in later this week and see if we accomplished them!

CONTESTS: if you’ve been a runner up or top 5 in a comp, which contest has provided ongoing support and opportunities?
Contests get a bad rap but what are the good ones?

I've been doing a lot of proofreading lately (both native and non-native English speakers) as I figured it was less mentally challenging than writing coverage. Boy, was I wrong!
Anyhoo, I noticed a few commonalities and thought they might be useful to know.

MORE WHITE SPACE ON THE PAGE!
That's what every Script Reader really wants.
If you're reading Features or 1hr TV Pilots, you KNOW how long it takes.
Spacing things out AND writing lean, really helps increase the speed of the read (and pace of the story), and that's massively appreciated.
