Unveiled Secrets: How Spec Script Deals from 1991 to 2025 Transformed Hollywood Overnight
A Go Into The Story eBook… and it’s free!
Recently, I floated the possibility in social media that I might aggregate the 2,500+ spec script deals I had tracked since 1991 into a readable resource.
The response was overwhelming!
So, I set a kick off date (September 8) and have been hard at work editing it as an eBook. Here are some details:
- There are 2,560 individual listings of spec script deals.
- The eBook covers a period of 35 years (1991-2025).
- It is 517 pages long.
- Each listing includes (where applicable): Title, Logline, Writer, Genre, Agent, Management, Studio, Production Company, Date, Notes.
- Notes include reported sales price, talent attachments, writers who are “first-timers”.
- 96% of the listings include a logline or story summary.
- Beginning in 2008 when I launched my blog Go Into The Story, I began providing an annual analysis of that year’s spec deals including Genre, Buyers, Agents & Managers, Top Sales, and First-Timers. There are analyses for every year from 2008-2025.
- Beginning in 2012, each listing includes an active link which takes you to the corresponding Go Into The Story article about that specific spec deal.
Here is an example of a listing:
