How Coverfly Helps Scriptwriters, Analyzing The Relevance Of A Project, And The Increasing Need For Commerical Content Creative Haven

Tom Dever is the Head of Writer Success at Coverfly, which is an online platform that connects emerging writers with the Film and TV industry, guiding writers to improve their craft and career through partnerships with top competitions, fellowships, and coverage providers. 
In this episode, we discuss how Coverfly is using data to categorize and organize scripts so that producers can discover writers based on specific tags, keywords, reviews, and past experience, and how it helps bring more authenticity to scripts by revealing the writer's background behind the story; why they prefer not to produce projects to keep the platform purely for writer discovery and education, and how their background in writing and creativity rather than tech gives the platform more of a human feel that's focused on building connections and community; and his advice to writers to not be afraid to write something commercial rather than the auteur film, because there is a shortage of commercial content and an increasing need for it, so if you have that Hallmark, movie of the week idea, let it shine.
