WRITEMOVIES.COM NEWSLETTER
We are in our seventh year of helping writers find representation, to
option or sell their screenplays to major production companies. We
have also helped novelists secure publishing deals and playwrights get
produced. Out of close to three hundred "contest sites,"
WriteMovies.com is one of only a handful that has actually made a
movie from a contest winning project. Writer's Digest has twice voted
us one of the top four screenwriting sites.
We are always on the hunt for that golden project that we can help
take from page to screen. Marcus Folmar, a WriteMovies.com winner, has
experienced this level of success with I'mPerfect (aka The List),
starring Wayne Brady and Sydney Tamiia Poitier. The film is currently
in post-production and has been entered in the Sundance Film Festival.
Check out I'mPerfect at imdb.com.

ELITE CONSULTING:
Not sure how to make your script grab that executive/producer/agent's
attention? Want to have your script read by a major studio producer
looking for new material and speak to him directly about it, one on
one? Do you have a script that just isn't getting the feedback you'd
hoped for and you don't know why?
