Congrats on your achievement in the Nicholl Fellowship Competition!
Formerly a producer with *** and lit manager with ***, I now run my own mgmt/prod co. Currently, I have client specs with *** and others attached/packaging them. Representing writers from every top contest, I discovered former Nicholl’s quaterfinalist *** and set his project *** up at ***.
I would love to learn more about you. Has your material already been exposed to the industry? Please also let me know if your repped or looking? I’d love to hear about your fellowship script…as well as the loglines to any others you have.

I sent my logline, as well as the loglines for other things I have. I explained that I’d sent out the script to a couple managers, agents and productions.

Hi Ashley,
I’m sure you’re getting bombarded with email, so I hope this finds you well. I’m with ***, a writer-driven company based at *** Pictures.
We’ve heard great things about your script ‘Bible Con’ and would love to read it – we’re always interested in finding new material to produce and discovering new voices to work with.
Who knows if they heard anything at all, but it’s a classy touch to put my name and the script’s name in there.
I’ve also gotten an e-mail that I have yet to respond to because I can’t find any reputable info on the company and their contract makes me nervous. Has anyone heard anything on Abbot Management?

Hey Ashley F. Miller,
Congratulations on being a Semifinalist in 2009 Nicholl Fellowships. As you know, this is quite an accomplishment.
My name is Tim Lambert and I am writing from Abbot Management, a Literary Management company.
It is our hope that if you do not already have representation that you will send us ‘Bible Con or another one of your scripts via our submission form. www.abbotmanagement.com/screenplaysubmission.php.
We offer traditional representation and are also launching our “Buyers Login” which is further discussed on our website.
We never charge a writer a penny unless we are 100% directly responsible for the sale and welcome all of our writers to pursue alternate routes of selling their material. We also share our coverage with the screenwriter free of cost regardless of our decision.
If you decide to submit, please let me know so I can skip the queue and move your material directly into the needing coverage basket.
