This might actually be a record, at least for me, for the fast sale. Don posted the script and I was contacted 35 minutes or so later by the filmmaker. Ten days later, it's sold. This just proves how valuable the SS home page real estate is. This guy, and most people that are not members, only know of the home page and are unaware of the forum.

Either way, I'm happy.  

Fantastic, Pia. Kudos! SS is truly the best.

Wow! Congrats, Pia, this must have made your day!  

The original guy would be second guessing himself I bet.

Amazing, well done Pia!

Awesome news!

How does one get a slice of that home page real estate?

Usually by Showcasing scripts via Reviews.
I used to write a fair few, but have had a bit on my plate lately. Of course I wasn't the only reviewer, and anyone can volunteer. Read a script you like, write a review and Don puts it up on the Blog page. The script is linked, Writers Bio/ credentials are linked and also (bonus) Reviewer's Bio as well. Lots of Options have come this way.

As Pia said, a lot of people just visit the Blog page.

Thanks, I'd like to volunteer to do reviews!

He wanted a drama. He also mentioned the blood on the floor...

Actually, what I think happened is that just as I was working on submitting my script, Don posted that day's scripts and when he saw mine was also submitted while he was doing it, he added it separately. That way it didn't get lumped in with the others, but instead ended up at the top of the home page alone. It wasn't planned that way in other words.

Thanks, guys.

That's great, Matthew!
Can you see this link?

If you can't, send Don a PM and ask if you can join as a reviewer and see the read/write review thread.

At this point because of the OWC coming up reviews might not be posted until after the challenge and often reviews come from OWCs as well.

There's tips on that thread and guidelines when reviewing or I can send you some links if you'd like as past examples.

I don't want to clog up Pia's thread so PM me if you want further info.

And of course anyone else who's interested in reviewing scripts for the Blog page PM me too. It's great exposure for the writer and the reviewer.

Congrats!!

Pia's would be successful and would have sold that work without SimplyScripts.
SimplyScipts would not exist if it weren't for Pia.

This is awesome!  I told you it was crazy good, Pia!  Many congrats. Can’t wait to see the finished product. Great work!

Thanks guys!

Don...     

So, I sold this script to a guy in LA I think is an actor who wants to direct. I wrote another script in the same cabin about an AI companion to the original guy, but this one is a drama. Then he comes back and says, I haven't decided yet which one I will shoot.  

Cheers!  

Congrats!

Just read the script, will make a really great short film. I look forward to seeing it.

Thanks, Warren! I hope it turns out great too. I think the guy that bought it is an actor that wants to dabble in directing. The original guy has still not got back with me with the second script I wrote for him… if I don't hear from him soon, I will put that script up here as well because there's no better place than simply script for people to find my scripts it appears.
