Writing-related resources, news, and reflections to enjoy over the weekend.

On MediaBistro.com, Taffy Brodesser-Akner, freelancer-turned-New York Times staffer, answers questions about her career.

Have a good weekend!
Hi Erica
I wrote movie script about Holocaust in Poland. Do you could give me any advise how I can promote it to producers? I know that I have to create logline and Synopsis. And I have to sent script to contests.
Best
Walerian Domanski
PS
Thanks for you hard work. How many hours are you working a day? 25 hours?
So sorry, but scripts are outside my area of expertise.
