No, I will not read your f#@king script

[pbray]

Stolen from everyone, professional screenwriter Josh Olson hits the nail on the head.

The newest version of the trend is the folks I've never met who think I have nothing better to do than to read their self-published or micropress book and then give them a review blurb. Often helpfully sent to me as an attachment, which luckily 9 times out of 10 will land their email in the spam bucket, never to be seen again.

It certainly makes much more sense for an unpublished aspiring writer to have his/her work read and critiqued by his peers and those whose business it is to read material from unpublished authors. Then once his or her work is published, it would be nice to hear that an established author has read it, not because the "Newbie" has insisted, but because the "big name" author found it on the shelf and bought it.
