Noe.. I have a discussion about this topic as well, and the consensus is that since Amazon is SO big and owns imDB and Withoutabox, as well as gets tons of scripts from CAA and other agents, it may be challenging. You also want to go through the agreement first or have an attorney look at it since its leveraged heavily in Amazon Studio's favor
Thanks, Jonathan!
Actually its my first time hearing about it. Thanks

It's worth trying. You submit privately or publicly for a 45-day evaluation period. They decide if they want to extend option (2nd option is for 1.5 yrs) or add to their development slate or not. Just be sure to read the development agreement. The best part - it's FREE!
tried and failed, but it's worth a shot
I may give this a shot in the near future. Fun playing premise wars.
I'd be very curious about that too Noe. I just read about them greenlighting their first project yesterday and wondered... The first project is a children's story, I believe.
It is worth trying to check it out.
Their option period is way too long for me so I passed but if you have something you don't plan on shopping around then go for it.

I've had a good experience with AS. One of my scripts was picked out and is featured on their notable projects (consideration slate), that got me some useful feedback and exposure. Plus they tweeted about it to their 40,000 followers. Certainly worth a shot on any scripts you aren't shopping around.
Just got my rejection letter after the 45-day option. Now going to send my script to several producers listed with InkTip.
