Noted Film Director
"Thank you very much for your help in
sending out my query letter to your database of film producers and
agents for my proposed co-production with a U.S. producer for my new
film project: JOURNEY TO THE WEST, about a Chinese monk who comes to
Brooklyn, New York. As a result of your query, I received interest from
a producer at Warner Brothers and am working out arrangements with a
major L.A. producer. I find your service a helpful way to bring
together the film industry in China, Hong Kong, and other countries with
the West, and I hope to use your service again for future projects."

"We were
delighted at our success of using your service to set up
meetings for a delegation of senior executives in the
animation entertainment industry from
Hong Kong seeking introductions to U.S. companies
involved in films and toys and games, as well as financing.
The response exceeded our expectations. We directed people to
respond to our Website and had over 100 responses. We set up
over 200 one-on-one meetings, and even had a waiting list for
our reception and breakfast. Both the
Hong Kong delegates and U.S. companies were very happy
with the high quality of the participants on both sides. I also
appreciate your help in writing the letters for our mailing.
You were able to highlight
what was important to both sides, and it made it so much easier
for me to have your knowledgeable, expert assistance. Thank
you again for all your help."

done."

the help to sell film rights for my novel
about a Vietnam veteran who

The day you posted it to all agents, I had about 20 companies that were

it. You made it easy and you answered all my questions of concern.
This was my first time to write a movie script and thanks to you, it was

for the Victims...You have an amazing service and if you ever need a
spokesperson then be sure to keep me in mind....I wanted to thank
you for the services you provided in your submission service.
I was amazed at the responses that I received for my TV reality show
and how quick they started after I received confirmation that the
submissions had taken placed. I have signed an agreement with
a production company in Burbank, California and we are scheduled to
start the production of a pilot show in February 2007. I would
encourage anyone that has a story and believes in everything they
wrote to get it submitted by Publishers and agents. It was
obvious that you have a passion to help others and I say this with a
lot of confidence and credit this from my personal experience with
you and the time you took to personally respond to my questions.
I am excited about my show and it will certainly be one of the most
positive shows on TV with a defined purpose. I know that in
the very near future this show will be the leading tool to bring
changes by creating public awareness in our communities.

it promised. I was stunned by the number of producers and feature
film companies asking for the treatment and showing interest in the
acquisition of rights to the book. Thank you Gini, for providing a
much needed service that takes the sting out of rejection. With
your service, only those interested reply. And there is no face to

"In just a few days, I got
interest from a half-dozen producers and production companies in my first
script, 3rd, a psychological drama about a young archaeologist.
It's based on discovering that feelings of deja vu or a past life are
actually passed on from one’s ancestors because of a “memory gene” that
encodes past memories of an ancestor. One L.A. producer was especially
excited, since she had often thought about this kind of theory, especially
since no film has yet come out on the topic."

"Your e-mail query service was great. I’m so excited
by the quick response I got from about 50 editors at major publishers,
most in New York. About a dozen wanted to see my manuscript, one that
weekend, and many others wrote back to tell me they thought my story
should be told, though it wasn’t quite right for their list and they
referred me to other editors. I decided to do an e-query mailing to
provide leads for my agent, who wasn’t able to get any interest after a
year. I used a brief query letter to tell my story about how my daughter
got murdered by her ex-husband who is now in jail. I also described
how I have been seeking Congressional support for a bill to protect
children from violent spouses who serious injure or kill their partners.
Now I have several major publishers considering my story and I feel very
confident it will be published by one of them next year."

"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Though we have an
agent, he hasn't been able to sell our book for the past year. So we
though we'd supplement his efforts with a mailing, and the results were
fantastic. Our query went to about 125 editors, and within 2 days, 7
of them wanted to see the manuscript. And these were editors
from major companies, such as Harper Collins, Random House, Penguin
Putnam, Bantam, and Simon and Schuster. Since then our agent has
sent off our proposal to these editors, and we feel quite confident that
now we will sell our book."

“This service is a great and timely idea to help busy writers quickly pitch their
book to busy editors who are now on email. It's a good way for writers without agents to
break through with a short but compelling pitch. I've also known one of the partners, Gini
Graham Scott, for over 10 years, since Prentice-Hall has successfully published three of
her books.”

“Marketing is the toughest part for many writers -- so what a great idea.
Publishers and Agents has taken over that chore and leave the writers to do what they
prefer -- write more stuff!!”
