Will you read my script? Can I send you my story idea by email?

Christy Marx: scriptwriter and game designer: writing FAQ pa...
No, I'm sorry, but I must decline to read unsolicited material. That includes email containing unsolicited ideas or attached files. The instant I detect that an email might contain someone's idea or a pitch, I DELETE IT WITHOUT READING IT. There are two reasons. One is time. When I have spare time, there are a lot of other things I want to do with it. Some writers, agents and companies will read for a fee. I'm not interested in doing that, nor could I charge enough to make it worth my time.

I'm a writer. I'd like to send you my story idea-- would you read it and tell me what you think?

immonen illustrations inc :: - faq
Absolutely not. Legally, it's way too risky. Here's why: Let's say I read your pitch-- five years later, you're still shopping it around, and I've forgotten about it. But I'm working on Hero X and have a brainstorm for how to get him out of a jam-- and it's your idea. You could very well come back at me with a lawsuit, and I wouldn't have a leg to stand on, even though I barely remember you. Keep your ideas between you and your publisher, when you find one. breaking in

FAQ: Can I send you my idea for a story?

Official Website of Bestselling Author Karen Marie Moning
Please don't. Legal issues aside, I won't look at it. If you have a story idea that's burning a hole in your brain, don't give it to someone else. Write it! Thumb your nose at the muse too many times, she quits being so generous.

I have a great idea/story/song/script/book. Can you copywrite it for me?

FAQ: freelance advertising copywriter John Kuraoka
You mean “copyright,” and, to be accurate, you may mean “trademark” or “patent.” You may find the information at the U.S. Copyright Office to be useful. You also may need to consult an attorney who specializes in intellectual property. I am an advertising copywriter, which means that I write advertising and marketing copy - the words you read or hear in ads and commercials.

You're a children's book editor, right? Can I email you my story idea?

Pound. - FAQ
Please don't. This site isn't related to my job, so please don't email me here to send me stuff or ask me advice. There are plenty of other places on the internet that can tell you how to publish a children's book. And if you've sent a story to my company, please don't write me here to ask me whether or not I've read it yet. I've taken down some of the very old stuff and reorganized some other newer material.

How much of my story will you read?

Zen Pen - F.A.Q.
Most of my training regarding the marketability of stories was as slush editor for Realms of Fantasy. I was only required to read as much as it took to realize whether or not this story was worth paying for. That’s it. While I can of course inform you at which point I was inclined to stop reading, this is generally not the kind of critique people are looking for from me. I will read your entire story, unless problems keep popping up that are consistent and inherently destructive.

My script does everything it's supposed to do -- except, it won't send email. Why?

FAQ2
There are a number of possible reasons. The three most common errors are typographical: Forgetting the "/" character at the beginning of the path, spelling "/usr/" as "/user/", and forgetting the " -t" [space,hyphen,t]at the end. While you know what's happening or not happening, provide more than just that statement when you contact a programmer or tech support for help. The statement is, frankly, not very informative.
