Thank you so much! Just entered two contests, one was just for movie ideas, and that closes in October. Checking out ways to protect my work right now. Don't know if I should trust copyrighting with WGA or go another route.....any suggestions? I am understandably pretty protective!
well.. there's always the copywright office.. just check it out online what you have to do to protect yourself...I've always gone with WGA .. just so you know.. you can't copywright an idea.. just words.. from what I've heard.. I may be wrong.. ;)
Good advice, Karen. WGAW and the Copyright office.
