NEW VENTURESI recommend the following two companies that I am helping to launch because we share a vision of wanting the artist to succeed.VOYAGE MEDIA
"The Top 3 things Writers Get Wrong When Dealing With Agents & Executives, & the Sure-Fire Way To Make Them Your *New Best Friend!*" - To see what these top 3 things are, press here.
Voyage Media have just introduced these really cool sessions where you work one-on-one with an a-list producer/executive who reads your material and strategizes with you how best to pitch it and sell it in the marketplace. The sessions are super-enlightening and fill you in on who is doing what and with whom, how your project might get green lit, and how to approach agents & execs with your pitch -this is stuff you can't read in the trades - so that you don't blow it when your moment comes.
And for now, until next week, the sessions are $100 off. Click here for more details.
EMovieBooks & Scripts
Do you have scripts sitting in your drawers that have been passed on? What if you could turn them into a published book, would you be interested?
Film and television director Hubert de la Bouillerie and his wife (former film executive and producer Debbie Robins), have created EMovieBooks & Scripts(emoviebooks.com)as the first and only online store to sell works from Hollywood screenwriters for download to computers and mobile readers like iPad and Kindle. The site features EMovieBooks - screenplays that have been formatted to read like novellas - as well as traditional film scripts, teleplays, novels, and short stories. emoviebooks.com.

QUOTE OF THE MONTH
It is a favorite belief of mine that no student ever attains very eminent success by simply doing what is required of him; it is the amount and excellence of what is over and above the required, that determines the greatness of ultimate distinction.
