Right there toward the very top of the list is GITS reader Neal Cornell. Neal, who is an assistant to the writers on the hit ABC series “Modern Family,” emailed me about the pilot script:
The script that got me on this list, American Prizefighter, helped me land my manager last year and has already gotten me a handful of general meetings around town.
Best of luck to Neal! And to the others on the list.
