a hit TV show
NBC Needs Laborliss
Breaking in to the entertainment field is next to impossible. Networks won’t look at your material unless it comes from an agent, but obtaining an agent is no easy task, sometimes you can get lucky and get a query letter response, but usually you need a referral. Not fun.
Back when I was developing Laborliss, I wrote a bunch of stories and posted them on this website. There’s about 150 of them total and the first 33 were published in a paperback earlier this year. That leaves a lot of stories about the Laborliss characters laying around waiting to be converted to a television show.
In early ‘07, I also started making a flier that evolved to Laborliss Magazine. It’s a fictional lifestyle magazine written from the point of view of the Laborliss citizens. It floats around the Phoenix area and has become popular, like really popular.
Think about that, when these companies hire creative people to come up with ideas for shows, they want them to make something that people are going to like, and I’m already doing that! Talk about frustrating.
About a year and a half ago, I queried about 100 literary agents and got lots of rejection, so I started my own LLC and have been doing everything under that since. I’m glad I did, but it’s fucking retarded.
Anyway, with GE’s current stock price, NBC could use a hit show, and although this is a very lofty dream, I’m going to attempt it. I’m starting the NBC needs Laborliss campaign.
