Was put in contact with a producer of a USA Network series a while back. After not chatting for a bit, we reconnected two weeks ago. While I was describing one of my TV pilot concepts to him, he asked me to forward over the script. Guess he liked it a lot because he forwarded it to a director who works with SyFy! Only the first step of many but feels damn good! UPDATE (4/18): My script has been passed to the Creator/Showrummer of the Freeform (former ABC Family) series SHADOWHUNTERS! The same person is one of the original writers for "There's Something About Mary".

I just received an e mail from the USA series producer. Don't want to say any name. Turns out he just forwared my script to the Showrunner/Creator of the Freeform Series SHADOWHUNTERS! He's setting up for Saeson 2 and should get to my script in a few weeks for feedback. Fingers crossed he likes it! I'm not expecting any deal from this, just want him to like the concept and feel my writing is solid. That's enough for me!
@david pitch for a writing job on a TV show. get real working TV experience. your spec is just a calling card. Get a staff writing job. Learn. Get into the game.

@Dan I am very aware of the steps needed to become a working writer. The USA series producer is a family friend's brother. He's being gracious to get me feedback on my writing from a working writer. Thank you for your insight.

Did you have an agent before you sent your script out? Any advice on getting representation?

I have no representation. Like I mentioned, this is through a family friends connection. Sometimes you never know what connections your immediate family or close friends have until you ask.
