Also, you guys know what a “bake off” is? Some might, but for those who don’t....

A producer/company says “we’ve got this awesome IP! What’s your take? Oh by the way, other writers are giving their take too! And whatever you come up with, the studio owns!...” 1/ https://twitter.com/ericrogershere/status/1293756533902151681

“And we don’t pay you for one word unless we buy the take! And we will definitely low ball you! Because... you’re an idiot who competed for free against others!”

Bake offs - avoid them. Seriously, it’s a nasty industry norm to pit writers against each other. FOR. FREE. 2/

File under: “know your worth”. Even if you don’t know what your worth is yet. Ask me. Ask any working writer. We will tell you. And then you can rest easy walking away from a situation where you are set up to fail... and if you succeed, the situation still sucks. FIN.
