Make Writing Your Day Job

Why is it so hard to get your scripts read?

Because nobody in the industry wants to read a script unless it's submitted by an agent or manager. And agents and managers are only interested in signing writers who already have successful careers.

This seems like an impossible problem to solve.

It does, doesn't it? And this is why so many writers often turn to the contests and tracking boards to get noticed. Can this work? Yes. Does it usually work? No.

There's a better way. There's a much better way.
