@NoMystery_CE Guests on Scriptchat October 19th - How to Get Discovered by Execs



Image
Creative Executive @NoMystery_CE is very proactive about finding writers online. Her search started after growing tired of agents claiming their clients' scripts are “great” when they were only lackluster, at best. But as she started trying to discover screenwriters on her own, she’s become frustrated with how hard writers make it for execs to find them.

As she says, "Help me, help you.”

On Scriptchat Sunday October 19, 2014 at 5pm PT, @NoMystery_CE will be our guest to discuss how to improve your odds of being discovered.

The best place to chat is via tchat.io site. 
Instructions on how to chat are here.
