The I.S.A. Newsletter - November Edition
Greetings and SMILES
Hey guys,
This month's newsletter is all about the fear associated with someone 'stealing your idea'. What? Who would do that? Well, if you're worried about it, then you're an 'Amateur'! What? Why would you call me that? Sorry, we love you and just wanted to grab your attention. We're not really calling you names, but we do want you to be confident to pitch your ideas and get your work out there, so read the articles below. They WILL change your perspective.
Also, remember to check out our 'events' section on our HOME page. We try to keep you posted on as many as we can so make sure to visit the I.S.A. website regularly. For example, there's the ScreenwritingU free teleconference on November 12th. Plus, the I.S.A. is doing a free teleconference on November 19th with an exciting new resource. You can sign up here for FREE: http://networkisa.org/#/freeq-a/4554218218
And finally, check out ScriptBlaster below. For a limited time, they're offering writers the chance to include two loglines/synopses for two different projects within the one query letter.
This and many exciting resources, brought to you by,
Your friends at the I.S.A. - Keep Smiling! :O)

What If Someone Steals Your Screenplay?
By The Hot Script blog
Most writers I meet live with a deep-seated fear that someone will steal their screenplay, or will steal the idea in their screenplay, or will steal the title of their screenplay.

In terms of enhancing your creative effort, this is an extremely unhealthy and limiting way to think. It also points to a very limiting belief on your part, as well as a pervasive scarcity mentality. Read More >
How To Tell An Amateur
By ScriptFaze
Writers are smart people, and it is generally hard to tell the difference between someone who’s pretending, and someone who has an actual career.

The fear of having his script STOLEN.
Yup. That’s right. If you complain to others about having your spec script ripped off, YOU ARE AN AMATEUR. Why, you ask? Read More >
