May 2014 Virtual Meeting Recap

Thanks, Lee Jessup, author of Getting it Write: A Insider’s Guide to a Screenwriting Career, for joining us for the May virtual meeting!

We talked about the mistakes screenwriters make, the importance of staying tapped into the industry no matter where you live, and more.

Some of Lee’s tips from the show:

• Have a great screenplay (naturally)

• Outline before you start to write

• Be consistent and methodical in your marketing

• If you live out of state, watch webscasts, listen to podcasts, and participate in virtual pitch fests

• Sign up to receive industry news on Deadline Hollywood.
