More Reviews of TV Writers Vault...
Scott Manville is one of the few honest men left in the entertainment industry. I would recommend his service in a heartbeat to any aspiring producers or writers. I hope to continue the business relationship in the future with other projects, and I know it will be another very successful year for the TV Writers Vault."
I've been in TV both on and off air for 10 years, and I can tell you that Scott works wonders for a reasonable amount of money. What the success of the concept comes down to is how revolutionary you idea is and your tenacity to get it picked up. If you are thinking about hiring Scott, those with faith and determination bring dreams to reality. If Scott helps you develop the concept and you don't aggressively follow through on marketing your idea to Production Companies, you WILL NOT succeed. For those of you who truly believe your idea is something people need and want to see, I highly recommend Scott Manville's services. He makes the process comfortable, detailed, and affordable. If you have the right attitude from there, the rest will be history!"
Congratulations to Writer/Member, Derick Yanehiro, of Long Beach, CA.- 2 different production companies contacted him after reviewing his concept, and he has now secured an agreement with awarding winning producers at Documentary Makers, Inc.
My advice for any would-be writer...you could opt for going it alone, or you could make it easy on yourself by joining The Writers Vault! I'd say the answer is pretty simple!"
Thank you again Mr. Manville for your assistance. The Television Writers Vault is worth its weight in gold!"
