🔥 Script Request Challenge up in the Classroom 🔥
Today’s LET’S TALK BUSINESS: Script Request Sprint with Matthew Lutz was incredible.
We had a record number of Forgers show up live — around 30 attendees — and the energy was exactly what this community is built for: serious writers learning how to move their work forward in the real world.
Matt walked us through a practical, repeatable system for getting producers to actually request your script — not by waiting around, not by hoping someone discovers you, but by building a targeted outreach process you can actually execute.
This was not theory.
This was:
âś… How to build a producer target list
âś… How to find the right people for your specific project
âś… How to write and send smart query emails
âś… How to track outreach and follow-ups
âś… How to think like a writer who is also building professional momentum
✅ How to turn “I just need someone to read my script” into an actual plan
The recording is now available in the Classroom for all Premium and VIP members, and also for purchase.
You can find it here: Writer's Forge Classroom.
It's also be available for purchase separately for anyone who wants access.
Matt mentioned several additional resources during the call, and I’ll be adding those to the Classroom as I receive them from him.
Huge thank you to Anna Fremin for coordinating with Matt and helping make this happen.
And a massive thank you to Matthew Lutz for giving so generously of his time, experience, and hard-earned knowledge. We were lucky to have him.
Also, for those of you in Los Angeles who are looking to meet other screenwriters and attend live events, check out Matt’s group, Hollywood Speakeasy.

This was one of those sessions that reminds me exactly why The Writer’s Forge exists.
Craft matters.
But so does courage, strategy, community, and real life how to actually get your work into the world.
