Inktip is basically the screenwriting equivalent of Match.com.

On paper Inktip sounds amazing (like the Miami Heat) but you're better off spending your time going the tried and true query letter route and making good old fashion contacts within the industry. The way I see it is that it's a place for minor production companies to shell out options for no $ for scripts that will never get made.

The only successes I've seen from Inktip have been from very minor production companies seeking out scripts that haven't gone anywhere or at best have lead to generic movie of the week type deals that never play out.  (I know a few people from this site have made deals through Inktip, but most aren't anything to write home about) The only "talent" I've seen them attracting is washed up actors that are going for movie of the week type stuff on Lifetime network, or even things less than that.
Basically, if you want to have the script you've spent the last year pouring your heart and soul into end up in the hands of a crystal meth'd out actor like Tom Sizemore or any other D list celebrity than Inktip is for you, if not, please, for the love of God, avoid this site. Unless your dream is to make something even worse than a Uwe Boll film.

The forerunner of the site, Jerrol Lebarron; if I'm not mistaken, is great at communicating via email with anyone that signs up, but everyone should be well aware that he's a good businessman but doesn't hold much if any clout industry wise. Take that communication with a grain of salt because first and foremost he's out to cover his own butt, and on the totem pole he's at the very, very bottom.
Overall, I just don't want anyone here to put that much effort or that high of expectations into Inktip because it won't pay off in the end.

I just need to write a morally bankrupt, disgusting piece of filth with no substance or redeemable social value - add some demons and zombies - and I'll be optioning scripts before the year is up!

An interesting topic.

Like many here, I had put a full length script or two and got many logline hits.  There was one script of mine in 2005 which got requests for a read. BUT that action did not result from the listing. It was the extra 40 bucks I tossed in for that "snail mailed" Newsletter that Inktip sends out to varied parties every month. The folks that contacted me asked me to download a release form and send it to them.

I did that. They said great, send us the script, and who to send it to.
Then they sent the script in the envelope back to me unopened saying they "don't accept unsolicited material'.

I emailed the person back, and it was five full months before I heard back. "It was an error on our part. But now it's too late. We found another script and writer"

Inktip had me sign a release form. The company which turned out to be a talent agency asked for a release form. I spent time and money, and all I did was waste both. I was VERY UPSET to say the least. But it's like you're driving and some joker cuts you off and you scream and swear, knowing, even as you do so the bum in the other car -now a few miles away- cannot hear your lament..

That said--it was not Inktip that did this. It was the other party. I still get the newsletter  from Inktip...see what folks look for.

And then recently I decided to use the short scripts listing. I have two sshort cripts in prep. One of them, once filmed will result in a IMDb page and a Film Fest tour.

Since INktip has risen rates over the past few years and given that B-S...I rarely submit on the main listing as much as I used to. But I still do.
