Screenwriting : What should I CONSIDER/ CONSIDER next? by Bill Williams

What should I CONSIDER/ CONSIDER next?

I just got back coverage on a script through Stage 32's process. Most of my prior work took a beating. This one got a CONSIDER/ CONSIDER rating. I'm thrilled at the feedback and the positive notes.

I'm a comic book writer and I'm familiar with that ecosystem. This one is a bit opaque to me. What are reasonable next steps in the development process?

Should I move on to written pitches? Query letters?

I'll hang up and listen.

Nelson Torres

Rewrite. Keep improving the tale. Even a 'recommend' doesn't seal the deal.

Dan Guardino

Congrats!

Bill Williams

Dan, thanks. Nelson, I appreciate the sentiment. I've got the coverage notes to work from. I was just curious about how to manage the business side of the process.

I’m a natural debbie downer and Coverage from any website is useless. You want coverage from prod companies & agencies. They are the people hiring, looking for new (new means cheap) writers.

You are a good writer as is; you come from the comic world. Just accept nobody wants to make your spec into a movie but your spec could lead to writing assignments for movies they want to make. Good Luck.

Bill, I’m a filmmaker based out of LA and know someone here you should talk to who’s been in the Comic Book/Graphic Novel business for like 30 years. I’d love to connect you two. Shoot me an email at rynoryder@hotmail.com He’s an amazing guy. Hope to hear from you soon.

Bill Williams

Dan, I hear you. Nothing's easy.

Ryan, sent you an email.
