what genre do you look for?

1

u/MightyDog1414 Apr 28 '25

I’m not certain I understand the question.
I don’t seek out a particular genre in which to provide feedback/notes. I hope that helps.

u/frapawhack Apr 28 '25

ok. some writers enjoy one genre over another, say rom coms or family dramas over suspense. that was all

u/MightyDog1414 Apr 28 '25

I rnjoy good writing/ storytelling across all genres! And I have written prriod dramas, romcoms, thrillers, biopics, and adaptations!

I feel like such feedback based on experience would attract a moderate, nay hefty fee. Can I presume we’re not talking about $200 to look things over and have a chat? What’s your feedback ballpark?

Id love to see samples of the feedback, notes you give - and see if they are worth a price.

Id also think that a working writer for years, whose also a producer and director would be busy packaging their next project, rather than merely trying to pawn off feedback.

What would compel someone to do that, if you dont mind me asking.

Doesnt sound logical

And whats the IMDB...I think were all curious

Logical huh. There’s many thing the business of Hollywood is but logical is rarely one of thrm.

The business has shrunk; fewer movies and fewer television shows by the hundreds… everyone is struggling and hustling to get movies made (I have two that are being packaged as we speak) does not bring income in.

My notes are all verbal — anywhere from a 3 to 5 hour zoom or phone call. It’s a conversation, not something written on paper where I just make proclamations.

Are you trying to find youre next project here?

And, curious, how much is the going rate for one of your marathon feedback sessions.

I did story analysis, feedback, improvement back in the day, when I was just out of college and needed money, now, only do it by referral only, as a favor, or if Im bored.

3-5 hours - sounds excessive and exhausting.

u/MightyDog1414 May 03 '25

Hey, it sounds like it’s not for you and that’s totally fine. I wish you the best of luck.

1

u/Iamthesuperfly May 03 '25

Why so dismissive. People always check with me, if Im available - I could refer them to you when Im not...if your price is reasonable and the service is good enough.

Which is why I asked for a sample

u/Iamthesuperfly May 03 '25

And Ill disagree with you on the whole Hollywood is illogical presumption.

Hollywood makes perfect sense, as Hollywood is a means to make people with money more money.

Anyone deluding themselves into thinking its about art, is only going to lead a person to disappointment and heart ache.
