Why do you need multiple writers?

Not much point writing more than a pilot to start with.

See above - and

If you are writing a sitcom for....then why do you need writers?

It'll be 45 dollars. I need multiple writers because I need to them to engage in my vision.

You must understand that this reads as though you want writers to do the work for you... and for $45. Engaging in your vision will require something more. It's not always about money. Maybe you know somebody famous and they're prepared to attach themselves to the project? Maybe you have an 'in' at Netflix? An Agent with connections?

You need something more than 'I have a dream...'

If your idea is good, write out a pilot and send it to Netflix yourself. It's only 50-60 pages.

Actually that $45 may see a slew of writers from India pitch for the job. By the way, that's not a racist joke. It's a joke about the cost of living there.

Thanks anyway - I wouldn't edit a script for $45

Good luck

Is it $45 for a page or smithing?

Yeah, worth a page and smithing.

Isn't there something called Outdaughtered on already? See it on the guide channel. Not on Netflix. Something else or is this yours?

Well spotted on the title, Arundel.

OutDaughtered is a reality TV show about "first-ever all-female quintuplets born in the U.S.".
Nothing to do with this request.

So, do you want to rename it.

First thing I thought of was Sextuplets, but... that's taken too!

As is Outnumbered - although that was a Brit series which finished in 2014.
The Trouble with Girls was a movie/title, at least twice, and Girl Trouble was an 80s rock band.

I could think on this more but I really think you should concentrate on writing it first. A title will come.

P.S. What is the aforementioned 'smithing'? Anyone?
