FAQ

1) Who are you?
THE HAPPY WRITERS is made up of a team of industry players with experience analyzing scripts and their hand on the pulse of Hollywood. All analysts are ACTIVE writers, directors, producers and decision makers. They have been hand selected, not only because they are capable of helping out our clients professionally, but because they are passionate, insightful and experienced! Full bios are available on the ABOUT US page.

2) Can you guarantee that my script will be passed along to an industry contact?
If you have a good script then YES! Understand, that if we feel that your script is not ready yet...don't fret! We are here to help either way. Feel free to contact me ANYTIME before or after our consultation. The best part about THE HAPPY WRITERS is that we want you to be...well...happy! And don't forget, our analysts are all ACTIVE industry players, so you will at least have one professional looking at it.

3) What if you pass my script along and it gets made? Will you get a percentage, credit, etc?
We just want to be thanked at your Oscar speech. No, we will have no stake in the project once we pass it along.

4) Has any script been deemed "ready" yet? What have you done?
There are no empty promises here. Recently, ICM packaged a client's script as a result. Innovative Artists put some of their top talents in another picture. A third client's project was passed along to three production companies and had a formal meeting with one. I can go on...and feel free to ask more about this when you call. We want you to feel comfortable and clear about this and for you to know that we are one of the good people.

5) What if my script is not ready? Then what?
Every case is different. Some are THIS close, some need work and some, unfortunately, are doomed from the start. Our goal is to never have a writer feel lost after a consultation. If a month goes by and you have a question, email us (joey@thehappywriters.com) and ask! We are here for YOU.

6) Can I choose which consultant to read my script?
Of course! Or you can tell me a little about your project and I will help you find the right consultant based on tone and genre.

7) Any more advice?
Whether you use our service or not, just be wary while exploring other services. Some key elements to look for is that the company is located in Los Angeles or New York, the readers are active industry players (having one credit in 1985 does not count) and be sure that they will be able to answer your questions even after the consultation is done. So many services will charge for every minute that they talk to you. These people are just in it for the money. Feel free to call or email me with ANY other question you have. THE HAPPY WRITERS is ultimately here to help you, so take advantage of the hospitality!
