Hello David,
I like your blog and your tweets. They are very inspiring, motivating and urge me to write on if I´m tired or I´m in doubt.
Thank you so much.

Hi David,
Just stumbled across your site…only slightly injured so I won’t sue.
Great job…very helpful. Is that really a list of lit agents who accept scripts/synop/queries? I’m not quite as ambitious as you…I just wanna write a TV comedy pilot…i don’t think I have a screenplay in me.
What’s your greatest success so far?
I had some moderate success in the 90′s writing and producing my own show for PBS stations around the country….but not the same as dealing with Hollywood…way diff animal. I’ve currently got 4 reality concepts ready including one that involves alternative fuel vehicles and a completed sitcom pilot script. I guess the only good thing (for me) about rising gas prices is renewed interest in my show Flipside Rides.
Anyway, enough for now…keep up the great work. Best of luck to you and thanks for a great blog…oh yeah sign me up for a sub.

Hi Terri! Thanks for reaching to say hello. Joke and Biagio are a wonderful creative couple and I wish them the best of success in all that they do. I know Dying to do Letterman will win an Oscar! Hope all is well for you and yours.
