How can I find a writer for my TV show idea?
“I have a great idea for a TV show. How do I find a writer? “Well, you don’t. Sorry, but you’re never going to find a working screenwriter with legitimate credentials to write your idea unless you’re willing to pay them their studio rate. Unless you’re extremely wealthy, I certainly don’t recommend that.
And by the way, you may THINK you have a great idea for a script, but ideas are a dime a dozen. It’s the execution of the idea that matters. That’s like saying “I have a great idea for a gymnastics flip. How do I find a gymnast who’ll flip it for me?” The hard part is not coming up with the flip. The hard part is the flipping! Are you going to approach Simone Biles and whisper in her ear, “Hey Simone, I have a great idea for a floor mat routine. If I tell you what it is, will you give me a cut of your next gold medal?” She’s going to do a flip right over your head. There she goes. Bye, Simone!
