Picture of a gray haired woman wearing a shirt that reads on the back “come see my daughter’s film A Woman’s Work at Santa Barbara Film Festival 2/11 at 11:20am 2/12 6:20pm I am a Jewish mother seeking a girlfriend/future wife for my filmmaker daughter (she is multilingual and has an adorable dog). Please inquire with me”

The showrunner is reviewing your script. She points out a joke that she absolutely loves, but you didn’t come up with it; another writer pitched it. What do you? Here’s a quick #Scriptsky #Screenwriting thread on when to credit others, when to take credit, and when to keep your mouth shut.

Wednesday the 11th…
Thanks for sharing this!
Cool, let me know and I’ll help spread the word.
LA Writers Meetups
Thank you for this list!
While the Westside Writers Meetup is on hiatus till spring some people on my list have been asking if any of the other LA writer meetups are active these days. @valleywritersmu.bsky.social I know it’s tough to host in the winter and rough in general right now, just checking if I missed one…
He’s the best sleuth there is, but thanks to the crippling emotional damage inflicted by the murder of his wife, he’s unable to leave his hot tub. Thanks to the help of his faithful assistant in both finding clues and inviting suspects, he catches killers. J’ACCUZZI, coming this fall to ABC
I sent you a DM
Did your reps submit you for our show? No series order yet but we are reading samples in case it’s a yes.
Screenwriters, there's no American film studio/distributor with a better 21st century track record than A24, which is why I curated this collection of 60 feature screenplays it released for you to download and study!
Great! Glad to hear it!
I wrote a post about how to take general meetings you might find helpful. (It’s free!) www.patreon.com/posts/716494...

This comment from the Auschwitz Maemorial FB page is VERY important to read today in America.
It’s good timing to repost that one too! Reading scripts right now for staffing in case our pilot gets a series order!
Still available, still free!
Happy New Year!
Thanks!
Writers: Need a little nudge to start your 2026?
Thanks Jon!
Great thread!
In a similar vein, I believe the
@davidhsteinberg.bsky.social
interview on #2WritersTalkingShit they talk about meetings. When a showrunner asks "What are you watching?" They're not looking for a list of TV shows... Listen, it's great! #Scriptsky open.spotify.com/episode/4BHT...
When Rob Reiner was on his all-time epic run at the start of his career, he had an opportunity to read a script that was looking for a production partner, and he lost his mind for it. He decided Castle Rock had to have it, no matter what.
On the most recent season of Platonic (Apple), one of the characters develops a catchphrase for her podcast: “Don’t ask, don’t get.” There’s some truth to this in Hollywood but only some. So this week’s #Scriptsky #Screenwriting thread is on FAVORS. When/when not to ask and what to ask for.

Thanks for the reminder! I remember the direction with, "Look up. Counter Clockwise is Cooler."
