Expand postWhy anyone should be offended by this, I don't know. The F-word is for attention to attract the readers and to make the point clear that with or without putting in the time to read someone else's work, he stands the chance of being an asshole in their eyes. When you get as much attention as a professional screenwriter as I imagine he now gets, you simply don't have the time to do so and a decision like this, not to read random work of others, should be respected. Next to that, there are professionals in the field to turn to who have made it their job to criticize work of others. And you pay for that job, making the boundary just a little higher to send in your work without your own review and those of your friends, just as it should be. I think if you made it into that world, it will be a harsh world to keep your footing in. And, unless you're ready to give it all up again, you have to set boundaries for yourself in order to keep going with the currents and not get stuck and lost. I can imagine it to be a struggle at points for professional screenwriters who actually have made a (be it small) name and try to earn their living with it, for any professional writer for that matter.
It is all about re-framing the possibility. With a positive mindset, a person experienced in such matters could kindly offer to read any script and give positive and constructive feedback in exchange for a nominal fee.
There are professionals who do this kind of job, but their profession is not screenwriter. And yes, it is something they could offer in return for a fee, but with anything: the higher the demand gets,...

And yes, it is something they could offer in return for a fee, but with anything: the higher the demand gets, the higher the price will be, because at some point you'll be unable to supply, in his case his time. I think he laid it out clearly with the other piles of works he had at home already.
He sounds like everyone else in the industry I said i will not become. I get where he is coming from but at a position he is in I would remember where I had come from. I've always said if I ever make it I will take the time out to read peoples scripts. And I'll tell them you are not the only one who...

I've always said if I ever make it I will take the time out to read peoples scripts. And I'll tell them you are not the only one who has given me a script but I'll try and get some type of feed back back. The problem with some people who have made it they feel THEY have made it, as humans we should want to help others. I do agree some of the scripts are probably horrible , but not everyone was able to go to school to learn how to write a proper script but they may be on to something. but that's just me

Expand commentI think he laid it out very clear: he has piles of stuff to work through... This is why professional screenwriters should draw a line at some point when being asked by people you don't or hardly know. And yes (to another comment out here) there are professional screenwriters. I'm definitely not one of them, just a simple beginner and taking in what I can. But there are people doing this work for their living, with credits to their name they earned, making them professionals. I don't read a stuck up comment here from Josh Olson, just a hard truth and a lesson towards people just making their way into the actual profession. At some point you have to become like this to keep your head on straight, is what I think. And there are professional readers you can pay for their time in giving their advice to you, which is not Josh Olson's job.
