I had experince with IMI, which had been sharing office space with PMA. I liked Peter Miller when I met him, but was under the impression he is a book agent-- who also sells books to movies. IMI was a movie lit manager. IMI offered a three year contract, suggested that they could get me dates with strippers when I was thinking of signinig, and when I questioned the length and othet outrageously unfair fine print, they became abusive.... Trad carefully.

Does anyone know when they are announcing their winners or semifinalists?

The Manhattan Screenwriters Workshop will start its 1999 sessions at the end of this month. Meetings will most likely be on the Upper West Side, one evening per week, at a day and time TBA.

If you are an accomplished screenwriter, and are interested in shariing your works-in-progress and in dicussing the the work of your colleages. Please contact Dan at dackman@compuserve.com, or call 212-496-2263.

Like many of you, I was a semifinalist and was then rejected.

Does anyone know if Chesterfield has finalists (as Nicholls does)? Or does it have just semifinalists and winners?

While their website alludes to quarterfinalists, semifinalists, and finalists, they only notify semifinalists, and in the past have not published any lists of finalists of any kind.

To answer a previous question, there are about 125 semifinalists, or roughly 5% of those who apply.

Has anyone had experience with Screenwriters Online, a group that holds online seminars-- for a fee-- with writers and occasionally producers (most recently the vice-president of Michael Bay's company)?

You give them too much credit. "An established literary agency"? If so, hy not name it. To me it sounds like a sneaky way to charge a non-reading fee.

The Manhattan Screenwriters Workshop is up and running. But we still have a spot or two for serious, accomplished writers who are interested in a weekly meeting with their peers. If interested, check us out at http://nycwriter.webjump.com OR e-mail dackman@compuserve.com.

I haven't seen it yet. But I did see the new "Star Wars," which, effects notwithstanding (and the effects were boring, too) was also quite bad.
