Any opinions here - competing or complimentary?

Is anyone hooked up on both? I've got a screenplay on Inktip, and was wondering about joining script pimp.

Any other sites an aspiring screenwriter should be aware of?

I just bought and produced a script from Inktip. And I know of another friend of a friend who just completed a film from a script he bought at Inktip. In fact, their film is of the ones announced on the front page.

I don't know anything about scriptpimp, but Inktip at least yields results for at least a few writers.

I like both and see them as offering different things.

With Inktip you load your synopsis, logline, resume and script and hope that someone takes a shine to it. This is a fairly passive process (apart from obsessively checking your viewing stats four times a day :lol: )

Script Pimp offer a larger database of agents and film production companies and gives information on how they'll recieve queries and what in general they are looking for. It means you have to do the leg work yourself, but that's no bad thing, because you're not tied to just the people who type in the right keywords.

So, chances are that even though you were looking for scripts on Inktip, you didn't see my logline. I think that that is Inktip's weakness, it applies put too many filters between you and the people searching. However, I really like the service and actually can't say enough good things about it and Jerrol who runs the whole show. Very professional people.

So, my vote is both are good and I think essential tools for anyone trying to sell an spec script.

I only have experiance with InkTip, but I posted a short on there free listing just a couple of days ago, and have had inquires already regarding it. So it does work.

Kind of what I figured. I've had my script on Inktip and received a few inquiries as well. Clive, I think you nailed my irritation with inktip - it's kind of an armchair deal for a writer: sit and wait.

I'm definately going to join scriptpimp - and also keep inktip.

Thanks guys,
