?Some questions we’ve received from Independents…
Q: What impact will it have on new writers?
A: So far there are no indications anything will change for Independents when it comes to submitting scripts. Based on the new agreement, for new writers just like existing writers, the new agreement will benefit everyone.
Q: Do I still need an agent or Executive Producer to submit my script? Will it be easier or harder for submitting scripts?
A: Absolutely! But not to worry. In past years finding someone to help you was like a scene from Mission Impossible.
