Beware of Fake Screenwriting Gurus

The Artful Writer blog is very informative about what actually goes on in the biz. One of their most valuable postings is a warning about "screenwriting expos" and the so-called gurus of screenwriting who will be happy to critique your logline or script... for a fee. It's a scam.

These bottom-feeders troll writing messageboards, trying very hard to impress the impressionable with their genius and inside knowledge. If you spend any time at these boards, you might begin to wonder how is it possible that this uber-busy professional-in-the-movie-biz has so much time to hang out at messageboards for writing newbies? Know what I mean, chili bean?

Heh heh... in any event, the fakers sure do get their panties in a wad when you pull that curtain back.
