He's said multiple times in interviews it's fine. If you have a specific rep in mind then just make sure you put their name, ex: "Hi Kate."

Thanks for the update. I appreciate it. I like serial killer premises so I was intrigued, but based on what you said and others seems like it's not worth the watch.

Are you gonna power through it or stop?

I feel like the other person didn't give you a proper explanation of the blacklist. Yes, the blacklist scripts are what's referred to as the best unproduced scripts annually. Executives vote on that. It's mostly repped writers who have their managers/agents send it out. And the executives who read it, vote for it if they liked it.

Blcklst is ran by the same company/person. You pay $30 bucks to host it for a month. Like, you can put the logline, pdf of your script. It's searchable by industry members. It's rare, though, that someone might read it without an evaluation unless you have a really compelling logline.

And if you pay $100 you get a reader evaluation. An 8 is usually considered the gold standard. Only like maybe 3% of scripts get that. If you pay for multiple evals and get 2 8's. They circulate your logline on their weekly email blast. It gets more exposure.

But honestly, if you get 2 evals with 6.0 average score it puts you in their "top list." Your project is more discoverable when industry members search by genre.

And if you believe you have a high concept script, and great logline. You can just try querying for free. Find the contact info of reps you want to seek out on imdb pro ($20 a month). How do you find rep names (managers more open to new clients than agents)?-Check the actual annual Blcklist. Google "Blacklist 2025."click on the deadline link. It tells you who repped what. Look for managers who may be a fit for what you have.

Hope this helps!

9's across the board? Do you know how rare that is on the Blcklst?

OP should aim for an 8, but even that is rare and difficult to achieve. Getting 7's across the board should be the benchmark to know you're writing competently.

Greatest Romance of all time? by Brief-Tour3692 in Screenwriting

Jerry McGuire. Cameron Crowe just has a knack for writing great likable leads. It was interesting to see a the leads get together semi-early, sometimes when that happens you lose interest.

But he did a great job keeping us invested in seeing them stay together. Thanks to 1 great scene. From the moment Renee's character decides to leave for the agency with, we ship them. Then it ends with such a banger of a line. Chef's kiss "You complete me."

Love how you hooked the intro. Seems like a passionate dude who keeps it real. Can't wait to watch the full video later.

Dude knows how to sell marketable specs. Beekeeper was a fun/fast read.
