The Official 2013 GITS Spec Script Sales Prognostication Contest!
Yes, it’s time once again for The Official 2013 GITS Spec Script Sales Prognostication Contest! Or as we refer to it around the Myers household TO2013GSSSPC [much easier to remember, don’t you think].
Put on your prognostication glasses and take a guess at how many spec scripts sales there will be in Hollywood in 2013! We’ll come back next year around this time to see who won. The prize:
I will read any script of the winner’s choice and do a thirty-minute teleconference to discuss it with them.
Here are the sales totals for the last five years:
2008: 87
2009: 68
2010: 55
2011: 110
2012: 99
Armed with that information, head to comments and make your prediction. Will the spec market contract? Continue to expand? What is your reasoning? Later tonight, I’ll post my number.
Contest open through Friday, January 18 at midnight Pacific!

I’m impressed at your optimism as all of your guesses would be strong totals and anything over 100 would excellent.
See you in comments for your guess!
Remember: Deadline is midnight tonight Pacific!
UPDATE: We are done! I will post a final list this weekend. Thanks to all who participated. See you in about a year to determine who won the contest! In the meantime, let’s all hope Hollywood keeps buying spec scripts in a big way because that is good for all writers.
