no idiot, of course. You know the old cliche that everyone in Los Angeles has a screenplay to sell isn't far from the truth. But what you might perceive as overwhelming competition is in fact dozens of unreadable and unsellable scripts by writers who don't know what producers look for in a screenplay.

- Tips on writing for television, including a sample TV script segment.
