HCD Rocks!!!
Jun. 26th, 2006 06:53 pmI 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?
