InkTip / Thankful Friday
photo found on "This Isn't Happiness"
I’m thinking about putting up Super Ted and a few of my shorts up on InkTip, a company that serves as a middleman between writers and producers, distributing your logline and script to those who are looking for a project.
It costs $60 to list your script on their site for 6 months, $40 per listing in their magazine issue, and $50 for 4 months of being a part of their preferred e-newsletter.
Although you may be raising one eyebrow towards the idea of doing this (I did too, at first), they’ve had some pretty significant success in getting scripts optioned and sold.
Has anyone had experience, good or bad, with InkTip?

My Thankful Friday list this week consists of the following:
+ the weather in the Bay Area this week has been in-freaking-credible
+ finished the freelance articles I wanted to complete
+ mailed out some more queries to some selective agents
+ finished reading The Alchemist 
This upcoming three day weekend should be productive and yet hopefully somewhat relaxing. We’re skipping on camping with some close friends, which bums me out to no end, but are planning to get some quality work in on the house.
Hope you all have a great Labor Day weekend, filled with friends, family, sharing wine and being outside. Just make sure that it’s labor free.
Hi Kim, I had some tech issues over the preferred newsletter partly due to ignorance on my part, complained and was met by some of the best aftersales I’ve come across. Had a long chat on the phone with Norma who has Irish connections and runs a friendly family business. I was embarrassed to have complained but she even made me feel ok about that too.
I’ve had one feature uploaded a fewyears ago and didn’t get any response what so ever. BUT I felt very well treated by the guy behind the site, because he e-mailed me when I didn’t get any hits, and gave me some tips – standard e-mail maybe – and definetly answered me personally when I replied. So it is not an unpersonal service.
I think you really need to have a stunning logline, otherwise it is no use.
My script was kind of an oddball and didn’t fit the keywords to check, hence few hits.
Nice. Thanks Alan & Desiree. I think I’m going to spend some time preparing the logline and then go for it. Appreciate your thoughts!
