HCD Rocks!!!

[queenoftheskies]

I had a coupon for a one week free trial to the Hollywood Creative Directory. It's a HUGELY helpful tool for screenwriters, even moreso now since they've been purchased and revamped.

I used to have an online subsciption when I was screenwriting actively and sent cold queries to a number of places I researched through HCD, with very good results.

So, I thought, it wouldn't hurt to have a one week free trial. The annual version is much more expensive now because it's been expanded.

Alas, when I tried to use the coupon on Saturday, their system told me the coupon had expired, even though my brochure told me it was good until 6/30.

I was going to let it drop, but decided to e-mail them and ask for help.

Boy was I surprised when they offered to set the week up for me from THEIR side of the computer. They were sooo nice and helpful and sure enough, I have my logon and password in hand already.

I am going to do sooooo much researching (mostly over the weekend) and find all kinds of great agents and production companies to query.

But, now...back to writing. I need to get in more words tonight.

Could someone please tell this godawful humidity to go away?

We've got the muggies here in the east, too. Bleah.

Good luck with the queries!

We don't usually get humidity like this out here. Bleh.

Thank you!

Their subscriptions are available in several formats. You can buy them in book form, which are updated several times a year, you can buy them in book form just one volume a year, or you can buy them in the online version, which combines four of the directories, I think.

It used to be much less expensive, but now, it runs about $249.95/year.

That's probably still a good price. It's just...eeek...money.

You can get a trial online version, though, which is one week, for $24.95.
