I came across this one a couple of weeks ago but didn't get round to posting it...

Taleflick, charging is a little more obvious on this one $88 per year, per script/story.

It's a little different as it's not restricted to scripts, so if you have a novel then you can list that for consideration.

It's also different in that you can create a free profile and list yourself as a screenwriter for hire, and that doesn't cost anything.

They seem to run regular competitions too and the CEO is a working Producer.

I see this as a good thing for us writers. It seems with the advent of all these media/streaming services, there is going to be a big demand for original material and fresh voices. Perhaps that’s why all these script sites are popping up? And of course, peeps trying to capitalize on it with a cut of the profits.

Still, it’s a good sign, imo. Content.

Agree Steven, there's a need for more content these days, and hopefully that means that some of the talented SS writers will be able to see their work made.

The number of new script hosting/selling sites is probably reflective of this, combined with the usual business realities of offering service to help those desperate to break in.

$88 per year per script is a larger initial commitment than many paid sites, but Inktip charge $60 for 4 months... so in reality Taleflick is 50% cheaper - just requires a longer commitment.

I might see if I can get interviews with all these new site and post them on here.

That’d be great. I’d like to hear their pitch.

The reason these sites are popping up doesn't have anything to do with content requirements. It clearly is down to how much profit there is to be made from the hopes and dreams of writers. Businesses are about profit... not helping people. When people are helped, this is a side effect.

What Dustin said.

A few years ago I used to work for a publishing company that was for the most part a dressed up vanity press racket.

Wannabe authors would submit their stuff, the company would say it's great (even without having read it) but would ask for the printing costs etc to be shared due to the risks. Gullible authors would then stump up thousands of pounds for something they could do for free on Amazon.

Moral of the story. Unless you’re very talented, there's no shortcut to success (unless you know someone, which I think matters more than talent).

That is disheartening and wrong on every level. What I’m simply saying is there is a bigger demand for content nowadays (a good thing), and these disingenuous script sites are popping up to take advantage of that, which sucks. I wasn’t trying to imply that they’ll actually help the writer. You’re right - talent and luck. Mostly luck.
