Thanks for the input, Doug. Going to look into the Hollywood Screenwriter's Directory. And congrats to you and your brother on placing in the contests!

Brief. It's all about the concept, so great logline that accurately reflects your script's amazing concept, then a very brief bio on why you are the expert on this script. That's it! Get outta there!

Expand commentNo one wants to read more than about 25 words - the essence of your story. Ages ago I had a meeting with the producers of WATERWORLD (hey, they made other things, too) and they had a FAX machine (told you it was ages ago) next to a 55 gallon trash can and an assistant whose job was to read FAXed loglines and thrown them in the trash can. He did that for 8 hours a day, because the producers freely gave out their phone number for queries. Every couple of months that assistant would read a logline and not throw it in the trash can. Imagine the same assistant reading emails now.
Thanks for the input. So I'm assuming a simple logline and contact info should suffice?
