Hey all I just stumbled upon this site today, and it almost looks too good to be true. And you know what they say about that.
I did a search and actually the website has a pretty good customer rating (100%) and the site that I saw said that it was based in the USA and Canada and that it looked pretty good.
Let me know what you think and if we should be using this site. At $20.00 a pop or $50.00 for reviews, that isn't half bad. And it seems like they have monthly events.
I'm interested in reading animation, horror, sci fy, suspense, fantasy, and anything that is good. I enjoy writing the same. Looking to team with anyone!
As a followup, I found that Geno Scala hates them. He has his own site called The script Mentor. Has anyone heard of them? He has his own stuff for sale too (who doesn't, right?)

I gotta say Geno doesn't like that site, or this site. Wow, really funny. I don't know how he can lump the 2 sites together since no one pays for anything here. I agree that it COULD be a blind leading the blind in terms of advice, but, that's why each person has choices to make.
Here is what he wrote me: Hi Daniel!
Sorry to hear about the physical trials you are enduring at the moment. I pray for your quick and full recovery. I have a chronic pinched nerve in my neck which affects my typing, and have switched to a voice controlled "Dragon Speak", which may be a temporary solution to your situation.
IMO, "simplyscripts" is a site very similar to WILDsound; a creation of Babz Bitella and friends as a rouse to scam new writers. It's a joke; the blind leading the blind. WILDsound is just an outright scam. Nobody- and I mean nobody- has ever been successful simply through the efforts of either of those sites. That's my opinion, but borne out by facts.
As for a review- we do offer the first ten page review. Just go to our site at http://www.thescriptmentor.com, and check under services.
As for the "group"- I'm not quite sure what group you're talking about. We have clients in TSM; they pay for screenplay assistance. I have helped over a dozen writers get representation; one now has an agent through my help. We have dozens and dozens of writers who have been successful in screenwriting competitions and such because we KNOW what type of writing style wins these comps while getting requests from producers. I have also helped a number of writers get regularly paid writing assignments, as I made six figures last year through assignments myself. What I'm most proud of is exposing the frauds and cheats in this business, protecting my fellow writers from suffering the naive and costly fate I fell victim to myself when starting off. I started The Script Mentor solely to offer newer writers solutions to their writing needs without having to break their bank in doing so.

Its free to register and makes no promises of success. Rather, it serves as a great platform to connect with other writers and share your work. If filmmakers happen to check in and pick up scripts then so be it, all the better but the site has never tried to sell anything...at least in my 7 years as a member.
Also, its "ruse" not "rouse". Sorry, I couldn't quell my inner pedant
I don't personally consider this community to be the blind leading the blind given we have some very good, and produced, writers on here who offer advice and support for free.
As everyone else has stated, SS and STS has never asked for any money for the fantastic exposure they've given to my scripts... thanks to a couple of sales they've actually made me money!
So Dan, I guess its up to you re Woldsound, if you do use them please let us know what your experience is.
As for any Mentor or Script Consultant, if they have that attitude towards SS then they're off my list.
