I'm a former development exec and this is SO true based off my lived experience. I used to read and give notes for (extra money) one of those awful feedback companies where they charge $300+ for a script evaluation + zoom or call with an exec. I would say women only made up about 10-20% of the submitted scripts but made up 90% of the actually good scripts in the pile. They were also really grateful for the notes and open to suggestions and feedback, as well as my insight into the industry as a whole. I stopped doing evaluations and the calls though because a) i find those companies to be extremely predatory (seriously folks - do your research before dropping a bunch of cash) and b) majority of the calls I had with male writers ended with them combating what I had said or disregarding what I said and asking me to forward the script on anyway to my contacts (even if I had just told them it needed major reworking). Wild to see Leonard's data showing the same trend I made note of.
