I joined this site two years ago. I'm here almost every day. Read scripts and posted critiques daily for two months before uploading my stuff.
And now, I have my very own cruddy job in the industry! Sold a script. Got hip pocket representation. AND the confidence to develop my own features to get them market ready.
I NEVER would've had a chance here in town without Simply Scripts. Period.
So, get your ego in the boxing ring and good luck! Keep writing and rewriting!
Ever considered a job as an inspirational speech person??
Actually everyone here has given great advice with the common theme being...
Exposure!
It does no good if strangers haven't gotten a hold of it.
I once wrote the greatest script ever on the face of the planet...
And then I posted it here.
I watched as reader after reader gave their view on it and the reality of it was, well...
It wasn't the best script ever, BUT the gold harvested from the readers was worth a fortune if it's your intention to take a good script and try and make it a GREAT script.
Everyone here wants partly the same thing. To see their work realized...
here's the caveat~
DON'T TAKE THE ADVICE AS AN ATTACK!
Jeff also made a very good point as well.
You gotsa give love to get it here.
Read and review...get read and reviewed.
Shawn....><
I would never take the feedback as an attack. In fact, I'd take it as advice from one writer to another.
As for reviewing, I am going to start reading some scripts here (now that I have some time on my hands) and start doing some reviews, hopefully the reviews are good and informative, oh and helpful to the writers.
Hey dxer, first thing you want to do is get in close with some peeps here at SS. You can do that by reading posted scripts and providing feedback. It's a Quid Pro Quo world here, and you'll find that the time you spend giving here, you'll get back in spades.
Send me 5 pages of your script and I'll give you honest feedback and let you know what you've got. I've got some time available today, but once this afternoon rolls around, I'll be booked all weekend.
Send me an E-mail with either the first 5 pages or the whole thing. Understand that chances are good I'll only read 5 pages though.

Take care.
Hey Jeff. Thanks for the offer. Would you want the first 5, last 5, or any 5? Just curious if you have a preference thats all. I appreciate it.
I must say I think I may actually post the script to the site for review. Jeff's comments encouraged me to seek more from actual writers who know what they are talking about. Yes, it is nice to have a friend say they liked the script and story, but it does wonders to know what writers think. In the end, real opinions and helpful comments will only make me a better writer. I'm now noticing a lot of my mistakes (again, thanks Jeff!!!) and am working on trying to fix them up. I don't know if I should post the fixed up script or what I have now. I was thinking of posting what I have now so everyone can read my first draft. That way i can use the comments and suggestions in my second, third, and 100th draft.
I am now seeing how valuable this site will be for me, as it has been for all of you.
