On today's show, I'm going to discuss screenwriting scams that ALL
screenwriters should be aware of and avoid at all costs. It never
surprises me how predatory people can be with screenwriters and
filmmakers in this business.

I did an episode exposing ways screenwriters can get screwed on
writing assignments. I do a deep dive into each of the following
scams in the show.

The Free Option - Optioning your screenplay for free
Agent Reading Fees
Script Consults That Ask for a Backend Cut
Screenwriting Marketing Services
Screenwriting Contests - Promises
Screenwriting Contests - Milking Technique
Ghost Writing Screenplays
Any Deal That Gives Your Rights Away
Representation Retainer Fee
Screenwriting Contests Warning Signs

Stay safe out there guys. Sharks are everywhere. Enjoy!
