“I wanted to like this - I enjoy Scriptnotes, this podcast is well produced, but it's WAY over the top and kind of insulting.

“Oh man. I hope my creative writing students don’t listen to this! Getting an agent is nearly impossible for novices and writers who don’t already have a name. (Dude, of COURSE it mattered to the agent and editor that you’re a known screenwriter! Your excellent track record got you in the door....”Read full review »
