Question: If you publish your book only in electronic form, is it good or bad?
Answer: If you indie-publish your work as an eBook, whether it’s “good” or “bad” will largely depend on the writing.
If you market it properly, you’ll make some money.

Question: When they say your first draft of a film script is bad, what do they mean, and how many drafts do you need until it is perfect?
Answer: “They” who, exactly?
A first draft is exactly that: bleeding out your idea onto the page to see if it’s worth its weight in pixels. Birthing is not a pretty process.
It’s really simple: you send a query letter.
Companies DO NOT want to see your screenplay; that is the “unsolicited material” they don’t accept. They’ll accept query letters all day long.
Do your due diligence: find out who you contact, and send your query letter specifically to that person (or department). That’s the professional way to get your foot in the door and, ultimately, to get the company to ask to see your screenplay.
Unfortunately, you’re a poster child for why it’s so difficult to get manuscripts in front of agents and studios; you say you’ve been ‘ripped off’ which is a HUGE red flag and wave-off. Nobody wants to deal with a problem that could lead to a lawsuit.
You also don’t have a screenplay. You’ve got ‘a number’ of ideas for screenplays. Do you know how many people in Hollywood have ‘a number’ of ideas for screenplays? ALL of them. Which is why ideas are worth nothing.
In an unfortunate year of farewells, we have to add another name to websites that are no longer with us.
Romance University is officially shutting its doors on January 27, 2020. This resource was one of the early internet adopters back when eBooks were just starting to hit hard and eRetailers were doing a job of ‘catch-up’ to Amazon’s second-gen Kindle which hit shelves back in 2009.
