I know they're easier to read, but email saves paper and time, I think. <br/><br/>Turnaround time, shoot, usually I'd just like to know that it got read . . . most of the time, when I send a script, I never hear back from them, heh . . . I think it gets put on a pile and never opened, is my suspicion. <br/><br/>But I think 4 to 6 weeks is reasonable for a script, once a request is put out and unless it's sent out without warning. <br/><br/>If I ask if I can submit a play and the okay is given, a few months is understandable. <br/><br/>I think it a company believes it's going to take a year or so, it's better for them simply not to accept scripts until they get caught up.

But I think 4 to 6 weeks is reasonable for a script, once a request is put out and unless it’s sent out without warning.

If I ask if I can submit a play and the okay is given, a few months is understandable.

I think it a company believes it’s going to take a year or so, it’s better for them simply not to accept scripts until they get caught up.
