Free Subscriptions To HollywoodByPhone
HollywoodByPhone
IS access. It is a subscription-based service, and an
altogether new kind of access. Each week, you'll have an
opportunity to participate in an interactive teleconference with a
Hollywood insider. Many of these guests are producers. Some
are agents, some are managers. Hollywoodbyphone is run by a
screenwriter management company and a screenwriting mentor.
Since
it's a new service, we can't cite its track record in helping writers
make it in the business. But you will be on the phone with
working Hollywood insiders, giving you a chance to network and ask
questions about how to find your way in. What happens for
you from there depends on you. You'll learn a lot by just lurking
on the phone. You'll learn by the osmosis of conversation what
Hollywood people are like and what it takes to be seen as an insider or
someone with potential. But you'll also have a chance to take
part, to get feedback, and to make connections.
The Grand Prize Winner
receives a free one-year subscription to Hollywoodbyphone, which
normally charges per month. You'll be able to dial in to all
weekly conversations for an entire year.
The Second-Place Winner receives a six-month Hollywoodbyphone subscription.
The Third-Place Winner receives a three-month Hollywoodbyphone subscription.
All Online Entrants
can use a $5 coupon good for the purchase of a Creative
Screenwriting subscription or a DVD from our DVD library. The
coupon is delivered at the last page of the online entry form.
All entrants can also sign up for a free month of Hollywoodbyphone (four phone calls, a $47 value--more than the price of a contest entry.)
