Got an idea but no writing chops? Here’s some options for getting a writer on board.
Rights and Copyright
Getting rights to a concept album
Copyright almost certainly rests with the songwriters, so start there.
Copyrighted materials in your script
Worry about writing the best scenes and not about lawsuits or song rights.
Optioning a book
If you can, option. If not, don’t be afraid to show your script for fear of losing the rights to the source material.
