- VanTheBrand 4y agoThere are two ways screenwriters can make money directly from their writing. Selling it to studios. (This website of already produced film scripts is not going to help with that) And publishing and selling the script(This website and ones like it literally undercut that market and make it very difficult for any but the most successful writers to get any publishing money) No thanks on the free “publicity”
- antasvara 4y agoWhat "value" is there in this publicity that the author hasn't already received? I have to imagine that it's exceedingly easy to find the screenwriter for a published script, and as such this additional publicity gets them little to no additional benefits. The downside of having this published for free is that the author now has a more difficult time profiting from the sale of the script. This is the same for any author that profits from the sale of their writing. This conversation would have a much different tone if the site was publishing novels, wouldn't it?
