Lesson 1: How To Get 50 Script Requests

[Lenore]

I know both BWTV and WIM share this assignment, so I hope this is the place for both to post. I couldn’t find another, so here’s mine.
BWTV Lesson 1: How to Get 50 script requests
Lenore Bechtel’s Project and Market

Title: Hypnotized by Hope
Genre: Comedy
A Contained One-hour Comedy Series
Concept: Lilly Brandon wants national publicity for the book she’s ghostwriting for Hypnotist Joshua Hope, but not an exposé like scandal reporter Quinten Quebeck could possibly find.
She must keep Quinten at bay while navigating Joshua’s zany treatments for weird clients and coping with a task-challenged new hire.

The most attractive thing about my series is that it will bring something brand new to streaming platforms—the intriguing world of hypnosis which will draw viewers out of curiosity and captive them with the story’s comical charm. Even though the characters are as unique as the subject matter itself, audiences will identify with their problems and root for them to succeed.
I will target managers and agents first because I myself know I can never be good at pitching. The reason is because I have profound hearing loss that makes me unable to understand accents and to communicate well by telephone or in a noisy room. To find a management company that produces would be iideal for me.
What I learned from this assignment is that I need both a “writing hat” and a “business hat,” and I’m hoping my latter will lead to someone who’ll take over the business side, giving me more time to keep wearing my writing hat.
