← The four doors
You want to know what the business is doing.
“Stop the presses. Half of this job is knowing who is buying before you knock.”
Don Franco, at the door
Craft is only half of it. The other half is knowing which doors are open this month, who is staffing, what sold, and what the town is actually paying for. This door leads to the newsroom side of Scriptageddon — the wire, the job board, and the craft desk.
- 1Read the wireIndustry news pulled together every morning: sales, staffing, strikes, shake-ups. Skim it in two minutes instead of ten tabs.
- 2Take the paid workThe Job Board is swept at 4:20 every morning for real writing, story and development jobs across the industry.
- 3Sit in on the craft deskA new craft article every week — structure, scenes, dialogue, and the parts of the business nobody explains to you.
- 4See who is readingVetted producers, managers, agents and executives who request reads through Scriptageddon.
Before you go
Reading about the business is not writing. If you have pages waiting, take the other door first — this one will still be here tonight.
Wrong door? It happens. Try another.
