   I’m a bit confused how most entities involved with the literary worlds in the U/S “cry” for original outrageously unique good stories with Film/Video applicability, etc., but when presented deven from the street via a synopsis to full book manuscript or screenplay form in any of the major commercial Markets, they are so insulated – including the Publishers that could benefit globally – that we, the professional creators – give up and are well received abroad.

   When I discussed this dilemma with a major Publisher in London, their response was that being hard to reach & insulated in the name of …?… is totally stupid “because no one know what diamonds can come from the street”!

   Hence, many talented new writers, unless introduced via friends, etc., are not heard especially by Literary Agents whose task is to “discover” new Talent and resort to self-publishing which we all know is not taken seriously by the literary world market. We,
   Writers, may loose a few thousand dollars, but the Agents & Publishers definitely lose millions, given that most such unique stories of interest everywhere ( we should know given the positive reactions we got in over 45 countries – many based on local & true global happenings) that can be packaged back-to-back with Film and/or TV venues, are lost. WHAT A PITY for those hungry to read and be transported into outrageously unique situations!
