Q – 

Happy New Year, Ms. Hoy. Hope you are doing well. I just have a quick question for you. How do you feel about these Facebook ads claiming that one can send in a story that might be turned in to a film for any of the big Internet stations, Prime, Netflix, Paramount, et al?

Thanks for your input

Kenneth

Hi Kenneth,

They’re all scams. Real movie studios don’t look for writers on the Internet and they certainly don’t place ads on Facebook.
