Script Sales : July ‘09
Okay, I realize there has been plenty of chatter about the state of the spec script market. My take is this, if a writer creates an original script and then is hired to direct it, that constitutes a spec sale. Consequently, I am declaring there were twenty (20) spec sales in July. Of course I could be way off base here — mileage may vary — batteries not included.
