Give Them What They Want!!! Look, it's not rocket science ... If you want your writing to sell, you need to give producers, publishers etc what they are looking for! That's not to say you can't write what you want too, it just means doing proper research. Luckily for you, I have an epic list of what REAL industry pros are looking for on B2W today! The Industry Pros I asked include agents, publishers, producers, script readers and script editors, proof readers, copy editors, writing contests, coverage and other writing service providers. They read our spec screenplays and unpublished novels every day. Like anyone, they have ideas of what feels fresh and new and interesting... The difference is, they have the POWER to green light that stuff. Click the links in this section or on the big blue button below to find out. Good luck! | Here's What They DON'T Want!!! The Industry Pros read so much, it means they are also in a good place to know what feels samey, cheesy, tired and old. If you want your writing to get noticed, standing out is half the battle. Industry Pros like producers, pub ishers and script readers are only human ... and humans prize novelty! If you want to sell your writing, it's a TERRIBLE idea to blend in with all the others in the spec pile. Remember, it’s NOT about writing to the market, or ‘selling out’, but SELLING. It’s what professional writers do … ie. write stuff people actually WANT, in a way that showcases your talent and writer’s voice. Like anything, it doesn’t have to be ‘either/or’.

Bang2write always has writers' backs on this, so if you have made 2019 the year you start researching character role function, then make sure you check out my book, Writing Diverse Characters For Fiction, TV or Film. I break down how to avoid the major mistakes other writers make, plus HOW to twist individual character tropes and make them your own. Don't miss it. BUY IT HERE. | Happy writing!
