Hi, Steve Thompson here. I've been providing entertainment publicity services for several years, but have made a significant improvement in the last few weeks: I teamed up with a friend and associate who has been a writer for The Hollywood Reporter, Daily Variety, and Deadline Hollywood, which allows me to focus more on the strategic planning side of the business. I've promoted over thirty-five films, worked with an Academy Award Winner for ten years, and in the last few years worked with a number of young talented people who work both in front and behind the camera. Every publicist knows how to pitch stories to media outlets, but our clients' stories are now created by a respected entertainment industry journalist who worked at three of the top entertainment media outlets. I honestly don't think anyone else can make you a more powerful offer at any price! So if you are looking to start out the New Year running, just get back to me. Thanks!

Hi Steve, At what stage of TV series production should you get involved?
One of the factors would be your distribution arrangement. Some distributors will want to promote your series themselves prior to broadcast, like how Netflix made the current season of House of Cards available to tv reviewers in the month preceding release. But if for example you or a sales agent were shopping the series at AFM or another market, you would want to generate some buzz leading up to the market to help build audience anticipation, and establish credibility (and value) with potential buyers.
Which brings up a question; As a screenwriter, should I contact you directly or should I ask my Agent to contact you first?

Mark: I am one of those "hope springs eternal" kind of writers. While I am an attorney/lobbyist to pay the bills, I am also a UCLA trained screenwriters. I have won two UCLA screenwriting awards for feature, placed in finals/semi/quarter finals with recent pilots, I can never quite seem to cross the finish line with a purchased/optioned script. I am wondering if I need to resort to human sacrifices or sacrificing small animals, voodoo, or some other novel way to find that magic?

Many thanks for your comment, Steve. Would you be able to help generate that buzz prior to the AFM 2019? What is the time-line?

Congrats on the expansion of your company, Steve!
CCalvin Page These people run some good seminars, one in particular comes to mind: How to Get an Agent. Their contention is that the demand is for contract writing like episodic television, not screenplays, and you will need an agent. https://www.screenwritingu.com/
Lillian, I'll be back to you directly tomorrow.
