Screenwriting : Acceptable wait time by Abdur Mohammed

Abdur Mohammed

Acceptable wait time

Hello everyone. Yesterday a producer attached to one of the largest entertainment networks, requested my script. I emailed it to him. My question to all my learned and respected stage32 members, is how long should I wait before sending a follow up email? Thanks everyone.

Andrew Hilton

Two weeks minimum.

Abdur Mohammed

Thank you

Eric Christopherson

A producer recently told me wait four weeks before emailing. (She also said if it's more than four weeks, it probably won't be a "yes.")

Abdur Mohammed

Thanks Eric...I will definitely patiently wait for three to four weeks

Danny Manus

id probably say a good 3 weeks.

Regina Lee

Agree with Danny Manus. My rule of thumb is to give your reader 3 weekends before following up. Then take his/her lead. If s/he says "not yet, but please remind me in 2 months," then do what s/he says.

Thanks everyone for the information....you all are the BEST!
