Pitch Clinic and Agent Ross Grossman Aug. 10th

This Sunday we have my ever popular PITCH CLINIC followed by our main speaker: agent Ross Grossman. If you need to polish your pitching or if you need an agent (talent or literary), this is a must-go FREE event. A big thank you to Ross for jumping in to be our speaker after SAVE THE CAT author Blake Snyder had to reschedule. Details below....

Thank You from Robin...

I want to tell you how grateful I am to you and everyone who makes ScreenPlayLab such a fantastic group of people. From a dozen of us who got together at The Writers Store three years ago, we're now 2,800-strong and still growing. Thank you to all those who've helped me personally by turning me on to writing gigs and projects that needed a producer. I appreciate it!

I've been traveling. Last weekend I was in San Francisco shooting two dozen interviews with bestselling authors for Gosh TV. We stayed at the downtown San Francisco Hilton, which is fantastic. At 6am before the shoot, I was swimming in the pool outside on the 16th floor. My role in Gosh TV is DP-producer. My partner Gabrielle Pantera is host-director. She's hosting a series of interviews that include authors such as Jackie Collins.

Waiting for me when I returned to Hollywood were two crashed disk drives on my primary Windows computer. I lost my pending emails folder. If you wrote me and I haven't gotten back to you yet, you may have to try again, especially if you sent me a script to read (those vanished in my system crash). Please keep emailing me. Even though I get thousands of emails, I'll get back to you somehow.
