"In just 3 days we had over 300 original concepts officially reviewed by various companies, with many of those writers receiving contact by producers interested in their projects", reveals Manville, who created the site that operates as a secure and monitored marketplace for producers and idea people to directly exchange new project information.
As a safety measure, any Writer registering to pitch at the TV Writers Vault receives electronic notification of all activity on their project, as well as access to a Project Status Report providing recorded details of official reviews and requests made by companies. Hundreds of writers have already found success by making direct contact with producers and development executives at the site, with many projects being sold. Manville also confirms that Reality TV ideas are the most sought after because they are so "idea" driven.
As Hollywood goes digital, its only natural they would demand a web-based venue for reaching out to the idea-people of the world, as they broaden their scope to discover the next hit reality TV show, drama series, gameshow format, and undiscovered writing talent. All signs indicate the TV Writers Vault is on its way to becoming a new industry standard.
