Do you have an idea for a TV show, or movie?

Let me help you out. I've been there before, wondering myself, "How can I protect, and at the same time promote, my TV show theme idea?"

It's rather very easy.

You will get nowhere if you try to contact the TV stations, or the networks. They don't want to be sued by someone else who will say they had the same idea.

As for getting a lawyer, well... if you have the money, sure why not? But this option is not available to all of us.

Here are the steps to submitting you very own TV show idea:

1. "Copy/Paste" these steps for your next inspiring work of art.

2. Type your idea out, all spelling corrected, into a word processor (.doc format is best).

3. Keep it short, interesting and to the point.

4. To submit your play, lyric, cartoon, TV show, or any idea it will cost you $20.

5. You can pay online with MasterCard, or use their "mail it in" feature.

6. Submit your work to the Writer's Guild of America West. You do not have to be a member.

8. I recommend you select, "Pitch" and "TV", but there are many other choices.

9. Send Gary Ruff a simple "Thank You" for finally making these steps convenient.

10. And I Thank you too, and wish you well in life's adventure!
