Congrats, gang!
Ditto! Good luck everyone. This was by far the best contest I've entered. Lot's o fun...Jim, see you next year.
Congratulations to all the finalists! Let us know what happens with your scripts.
Thanks, everybody! And for all you participants, just keep at it... pick folks to learn with. This is why we are so big on Writer's Boot Camp and UCLA Professional programs, not because they pay us (they don't) but because WE use them and they work. One of our top ten developed their script over a period of years with a well-known script analyst. Still others have used Coverage, Ink and some other script coverage services. It's amazing what you can learn by working with the right people. So get yourself into a class, or join a writer's group -- and listen to other people's opinions! Now I must get back to reading the finalists.

Jim,
Can you comment more on Writers Boot Camp? I visited the website, and it sounds great. But if you have personal experience, I'd appreciate any thoughts you'd be willing to share.
Thanks,
Tom
