I just finished writing a polished first act for ITMFFIS. The reason I actually wrote it out is that when I write based on an outline the story changes. The characters never want to exactly what I want them to do and the their actions actually matter to me. Writing out a good first act works better for me in accurately setting up the story; act two and act three flow flows from act one after all.
I'm posting this because now that I've written Act One I want to submit it with my treatment and other required submissions. Of course I'm going to take the time to polish a treatment and the rest but I have A FREAKING FUN FIRST ACT and I think Amazon should see it. I think reading it could serve to give additional perspective in their selection process even if it ultimately isn't the angle they want to go with.
I know this sounds kind of noobish but it is common practice for perspective writers to offer a bit of an actual script to help seal the deal. This wouldn't require more time for the selection staff; the quality of the writing should quickly be apparent.
Does anyone know should be contacted about this?
Thanks much.
