The answer is no. I charge a straight hourly fee, and the only extra charges that may appear are for fed-ex packages, or messenger fees, if requested. I offer an affordable situation to my clients who want to get their screenplays seen by the appropriate parties. If there is interest, I will send your package and a cover letter certified return receipt, and all copies will be sent to you. My responsibility stops at this point, unless I am hired to follow up.
Most companies respond within two weeks to three months .
If the company does like the script, they would respond to me, and I would contact you immediately. Agents are an important part of the production process, but you do not have to depend on an agent to sell your script. Just as smart investors have begun to bypass full-commission stock brokers to use online brokerage firms, writers who are willing to do their own research can benefit by my submission service. I contact the company and make the submission. Because your script comes from a known entertainment lawyer, the production company will feel confident in accepting a submission from a writer they do not know.
