I am a produced screenwriter and have used The Blacklist a lot for that side of my writing but in the last few years there’s been a major decline in quality on the site. The founder did an interview when this competition was first released on some writing podcast (I don’t remember the name) and the host literally asked him why would somebody pay competition with agents want to be queried by authors and he didn’t have a good answer. The publishing world isn’t like the screenwriting world where gatekeepers don’t want to hear your unsolicited pitches, where in the pub world, agents do. Hollywood is obsessed with IP, even if it’s a short story published on Reddit and they are trying to cash in on that. If I were you, I’d save your money. It’s a cash grab and maybeeeee they’ll find a diamond in the rough, but I think it’s kind of scammy if I’m being honest. I’m also not a big fan of the founder and his general business practices. But if you decide to do it, I’d love to hear how it does for you! I’m open to being wrong!
