my VOYAGER spec script: commentary
Feb. 16th, 2008 07:24 pmNow that the whole thing's posted, here's some behind-the-scenes commentary on "Don't Gimme That Old Time Religion" (Part One, Part Two).
Here's how the process worked. At the time, STAR TREK accepted scripts over the transom, unagented. This made them pretty much unique in town. You sent in your script and a release form; if they liked it, they would contact you and ask if you wanted to pitch stories at them. (If they *really* liked it, they bought your script, but that almost never happened.) A pitch is basically a meeting where you briefly describe the stories you want to tell, and they say if they like 'em or not. Trek would do pitch sessions over the phone or in person, depending on the writer's location.
( I was in LA at the time... )
