My man

I have a very heartwarming story from when I was a lot younger. Basically, i’ve been writing stories since a very young age. I eventually came up an idea that 10 year old me pitched to Cartoon Network with hopes of it becoming an actual show. I wrote in a letter, put in the artwork in the envelope, and waited for 3-4 months. Eventually I thought there was nothing to come of it. That was until I got a letter in my mailbox. I still have the letter somewhere, it went something like this. Dear, MineTherapist Unfortunately, we do not accept unsolicited work. However, we liked your idea, and we still encourage you to pursue a career in television or another media outlet. Signed, (Her name from what I remember) Jasmine Taylor (Head of Public Affairs) She also wrote her signature at the bottom. Needless to say, I was extremely happy that at least they saw it. To this day, i’m still encouraged to write stories, and i’m currently doing journalism, and writing a novel. Thanks, Cartoon Network.

Hi

I have a childhood friend who's an aspiring writer. I remember them telling me a few years ago they were writing a Star Wars (basically fan fic) full length novel. One of the (many) arguments I had with this person was basically me telling them "No, you'll be hit with copyright if you self-publish, and they won't take it." and them responding with, "No no it's totally fine! I heard from my friend's brother's friend that his friend got his book published and they have like contests and stuff and we'll be famous and they'll make it into a movie..." In the end I felt bad, because one: I never heard about this supposed breakthrough novel again after they said they finished it, and two: the writer never learned from their mistakes. Even if your dream is writing for a specific universe, I think that you'll end up finding much more satisfaction in writing your own stories. They of course most likely won't give you as much success but you're at least making more progress than sending in your possibly amazing stories to be thrown away or sent back.

Yeah, it can be very tempting to write for an existing world that you absolutely love, because those kinds of worlds are always greatly inspiring, and fill your head with story ideas, but giving in to that temptation is pretty much always a dead end. Fanfics are cool, and they might let you develop some writing skills, but eventually you want to build something from scratch that is your own. I was messing around with stories set in the Star Wars universe a lot as a teen, but at some point I realized that it just isn't worth it. It's possible to stay within the magical-space adventure genre without ripping off established titles, and forcing yourself to be original is absolutely much more rewarding.

This was because my digital media teacher innocently showed her teacher friend our video who in turn innocently showed her students who in turn dickishly ripped us off because they have more money and better cameras with the mindset of “$$$=BETTER”.

This was really informative. I've had this idea for a comic book character bouncing around in my head for quite some time now and seeing stuff like this really inspires me and has me hope that I'll one day see my character up there with the likes of Batman or spider-man. Keep up the good work and know you're helping and inspiring people to live out their dreams.

Bonus hint for anybody: start very soon. This will allow you to improve at a much faster rate than others and make you capable of writing a great narrative at a really young age (like, 17 young). I managed to end up being a niche within my high school as one of the few people in the school that writes music and I had been directed to various contests for composition as a result. I'm trying to convince my band teacher (who also leads the drama club) to put on a musical I'm writing and it's opportunities like these that can help you develop an audience.

I had no idea about those agent scams. My mother used to write and submit stories to TV Writers Vault who charge a monthly fee for the service. At first it was more for fun and no one was expecting anything to come from it, but then the pitches started getting “reviewed” by production houses so she kept paying. We stopped after a few months because it never went further than that. I never would’ve guessed it was a scam though, since it featured a lot of big name production houses.

"I have this great Star wars Story but Lucasfilm won't take it. What do I do?" "Find an agent and create you own, original world." "But what about my star W..." "Establish your own franchise, how hard can it be?!" Edit: Don't take this seriously, my God... Why is is so hard to make jokes on the Internet without pissing someone off?

As hard as it is to post your story online, one chapter at a time. He DID give an example or two of people who did just that. Naturally it won't be easy, but that shouldn't stop you, nor should it mean you should keep trying to send a story to a studio who, by default, will refuse it from you at the beginning. "I have this great Star wars Story but Lucasfilm won't take it. What do I do?" You shelve the story, try to find the literary agent, and if that fails, try self-publications online, and if/when you get recognition, THEN properly submit the story idea to Lucasfilms.

This reminds me of a Stephen Fry anecdote regarding JK Rowling where at Book Signings and fan events her security detail would always seize all letters her fans tried to give her. The reason being that if the last few books bore any resemblance to any fan theories she could assert in court that she never even touched the letters.

Aye, that's a bit cynical. There's still loads of shit out there that has been so reused and ubiquitous that it's pretty much impossible for some company to try to hog it

I understand it, my dad works for a production company that actually accepts unsolicited material, he had to sort it out and I swear, the company had tons and tons of thousands sent to them everyday, they just couldn't handle it, and now if you look at their website, they now refuse to except unsolicited material Did I mention that usually whoever sent the unsolicited material would expect a response and when they never got one, they would send millions of angry letters, almost as if expecting that this company could see and develop all of these ideas when they already had many projects on their hands Honestly? It's better this way

Enjoyed your video. And I met Daniel (in the ad) at the Louisiana Book Festival a couple of years ago!

Just wanted to say, this is very inspiring! I have an original script I'd like to write but I've never written a screenplay before because I can't realistically see anyone reading it / adapting it. That's why I write mostly fiction. Who knows, maybe I'll give the screenplay thing a shot and see if I can get some interest in it.

Hi Austin, i have a friend who wrote a post-apocalyptic neo-western and a studio was interested in it (this is in Australia and during covid so they wanted tourism). The studio wanted to make the film but wanted to change a lot of his ideas and characters to suit current social issues. He disagreed (he’s a bit of an artsy guy and wants his work to be how he intended it). The studio and him went back and forth, he wanted a specific actress to play the main villain of the movie and they disagreed, and so he just gave up and cancelled everything. He wrote a novel instead and now he’s getting it published, and plans on writing like 11 more novels of the same series. I’m happy for him and also happy that he’s happy, i’m glad he didn’t let the studio ruin his work as so many do with indie filmmakers these days.

austin: don't write fanfiction after: 50 shades of grey: me: wwwell

This kinda thing reminds me that I have to commit myself to my craft. It's very inspiring.

I'm not even a writer and this was such a fun watch. Big fan, Austin. Watching out for your next work! Consider me a follower willing to pay ;)

“Unsolicited materials” makes it sound so smutty. Every time it reaches my ears I think, “Oh that’s filthy!”

I've got this script idea for Charlie's Angels, only all the angels are men, and RuPaul plays the voice of Charlie. Can I run the first draft past you?

Wow. As an aspiring writer/film maker every single one of your videos are so inspiring. I'm currently working on a Batman script but have felt lost as a writer, and I think this video put into perspective a lot of the problems I have as a writer. Truly, thank you for being such a good KZread creator.

Thanks for the advice I'm gonna get to work on my original screenplay right now

Serious question: why do these companies even have public mailing addresses that normal's can send things too? If they don't read the letters, they clearly aren't filtering based on content, which must mean that all mail sent to that address is returned. It seems like a money sink for them that could be avoided.

Because you can still send mail to individuals who work in that company.

Is that the kind of post service it is? Or is it their 'global' post service where everyone, both the common man and billion-dollar companies can send stuff to

Hey, read my comment. Hah, joke's on you, you just read an unsolicited comment.

Fantastic message! This channel is a hidden gem.

Excellent stuff, aaah I feel like such an ass for sending in my screenplays now XD

We don't need a studio. We can do it our way. Yep, I have been on that train for awhile. Self-publishing and making YT videos, that's me.

Your videos have only a few dozen views or so. Promoting it here in the comments isn't gonna help, you need connections.

Two words: Connections, Marketability That is all

@another damn tom Building connections with marketable original stories while having a reliable literary agent on your side is a good way to go about it :)

Thank god for information like this I was really lost on this

Same thing in the Music Industry. Easiest way to bypass these things is get a known Entertainment Lawyer. You can pay them to represent you, whereas an effective Management deal generally requires you already have credits, since they work for percentage. I've successfully used this in Music biz, as well as another avenue, paying a big name Producer to produce my album--he and HIS management subsequently shopped it for me. Helpful hints

"The only thing keeping you from an audience is the quality of your work" is a nice sentiment, but is it really true in a world where influencers get creative opportunities handed to them on a regular basis? I'd wager that a very high percentage of rejected manuscripts are better than the first drafts of vlogger book deals and TV projects, and yet...

One could argue Quality is subjective so that big brain script some nobody just wrote may come off to pretentious bs to most people. Being marketable is part of a products quality as well, even if we don't want to admit it.

How did those influencers gets big in the first place? You don't get popular without having something people want. What defines "quality" is entirely subjective. Success in this industry is measured in numbers & dollars, and by that count those influencers are making better stuff than you could ever dream of. 🤷‍♂️ Don't hate the player, hate the game. What you think is "quality" is NOT what the mainstream audience thinks is "quality". Ignoring marketability at all just makes someone come off as a pretentious ass.

Because it sucks,easy

I have no idea what you really do, as I create with metals, BUT you are a wonderful communicator! I feel as though I just listened to a mix of a modern Dale Carnegie and Anthony Robbins. You would make millions in the inspiration, self-improvement, character or professional development genre (not sure if that is exactly what I mean, but I suspect you understand). You are wise to not open those emails, I deal with patented products for my customers and we destroy all information beyond the general idea so we know to never build anything in those product 'worlds'... I appreciate my clients and will never break the trust they give me when I build their ideas... Keep up the good work!

Lot of great info here. Thanks for sharing!

The video wasn't loading on my phone, so the entirety of the time I was thinking you where refering to yourself in the title

I don't know if I've ever said this, but you're someone I really admire. You're delicately honest, and by that I mean you tell it like it is while staying kind and encouraging your audience to grow in their art. I've learned so much from your videos and have really been inspired to keep working to achieve my dreams because of you. I'll always be grateful for that, even if I never make it to where I want.
