Do you really need coverage to sell a script?
Nope. You also don’t technically need an agent or manager, but that doesn’t mean you should turn one down if they offer to represent you. Script coverage is a tool that you can utilize to push your script to the next level, a way to get professional industry level feedback on your script before you expose it to the people who will only give it one chance.
Who provides the coverage for your script?
Our readers are the same people that make up and run The Tracking Board itself; namely, a collection of Execs, Assts, Producers, Agents, Managers, etc who have been, and continue to be, at the front lines of Hollywood’s Information Superhighway. We aren’t some nameless interns covering your script for free in a studio basement, we are working professionals whose job it is to track all the projects that are hot, on the market, and selling in Hollywood right now.
When you get coverage from anywhere, you are really paying for the opinion and experience of the person who is covering your work. Why wouldn’t you want the people with their finger on the pulse of every sale and deal in Hollywood today?
Why should I pay for coverage from The Tracking Board and not another site?
We here at The Tracking Board are well versed in the numerous script coverage sites out there and personally can recommend several that offer exceptional coverage and help with your script. That being said, The Tracking Board offers coverage on your script from a collection of industry professionals and story analysts whose job is to track every project that is selling in Hollywood. Not only can we offer in depth script and story breakdowns like other coverage sites, but we can also compare your ideas and marketability to exactly what is selling in Hollywood right now.
In addition, if your script is good enough to receive our Recommend grade, we will immediately blast it out on our website, our forums, and our feeds, ensuring that the thousands of industry professionals that are members of our site or follow us will know how great your script is. Some sites offer annual contests. The Tracking Board offers you the opportunity for exposure year round. All you have to do is write.
