Still more mail today:
What do you think of TVwriter.com? Is that a good place to learn the ins-and-outs of screenwriting?
This is what I wrote a while back in a comment on John August’s blog when someone asked the same question:
To be honest, I think people
would learn a lot more about the craft of writing visiting John August’s site
than tvwriter.com, which seems geared entirely towards publicizing Larry Brody’s
writing workshops and contests where applicants win the opportunity to have
their scripts optioned by “The Cloud Creek Institute For the Arts” and
representation by “the legendary Terry Porter Agency.” I’ve never heard of
either one of them, though Predators and Editors
recommends against the Porter agency, which they claim charges a fee to read
submissions.
