Brainchild of former Merv Griffin Executive, Scott Manville, "TV Writers Vault" Website Is Aspiring Writers Dream Service

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) February 4, 2005 -- Former lead development executive for Merv Griffin Entertainment, Scott Manville, 33, has cracked the code on Hollywoods closed door, letting in a wave of new writing talent... and maybe the next hit TV show.

When youre in the development game at a large company you only have time and energy to deal with established writers and producers who bring in their own projects. But when you hear a great concept, its undeniable...and its worth fighting for

I knew that if I could create a method that was safe and effective for both the writers and executives, I could give production companies an unparalleled tool for scouting new material. But even more exciting, I could open doors for someone who otherwise would never be awarded the opportunity to have their work considered.

I believe in the power of Idea

boasts Manville, And the TV Writers Vault is redefining the way the television industry interfaces with creators of original ideas written for television.

Always one to buck the system, Manvilles first television project that sold for Merv Griffin Entertainment went directly against the companys general policy of rejecting unsolicited concepts, when he took a call from an unknown writer living in Florida who had an "idea".

Manville explains, "When youre in the development game at a large company you only have time and energy to deal with established writers and producers who bring in their own projects. But when you hear a great concept, its undeniable...and its worth fighting for". The "outsiders" project won immediate approval from Griffin and within a few weeks of in-house development the show was sold to Disneys Buena Vista Television on its very first pitch. That experience planted a seed.

Although Manville continued to work with Griffin for several years developing and pitching everything from game shows to movies, he never forgot the impact of that first project. He recognized that there was a fantastic opportunity for Idea people" if he could just devise a way to cross the chasm between new writers with original ideas, and the producers who needed them.

"I knew that if I could create a method that was safe and effective for both the writers and executives, I could give production companies an unparalleled tool for scouting new material. But even more exciting, I could open doors for someone who otherwise would never be awarded the opportunity to have their work considered." Continues Manville, Ive been on both sides of the coin, so I understand the needs and needs of both parties."

That seed of an idea grew into what would eventually become The Television Writers Vault (www.tvwritersvault.com), a unique interactive tool for Producers and Writers alike that dramatically shortens the distance between the two camps and provides direct contact and feedback for projects submitted by writers.

Manville left Merv Griffin Entertainment in 2003, and dove head first into the development of his vision. Engaging the talents of web-developer Ian Bergson of U.K.-based Altis Design, The Television Writers was born in March of 2004.

The TV Writers Vault provides professional insight into the creation and development of TV show ideas and scripts, as well as the invaluable (and until now unattainable) direct review of projects by production companies who produce some of the most popular TV programs of today.

Projects submitted to the TV Writers Vault are categorized by genre (Reality, Sitcom, Drama Series, etc.) and archived in a database where production members make monitored searches for new material, and writers can view real-time activity and requests from any executive selecting their project. This is the real bridge that allows protected and monitored access for both parties, and gives the writer electronic proof of review... something a new writer doesnt get when making cold calls in the real world of pitching producers.

Manvilles business model wont be limited to the TV industry. Music, Film and other industries dealing in intellectual property exchange will benefit from plans of expansion that are already in the works. "I believe in the power of Idea"" boasts Manville, And the TV Writers Vault is redefining the way the television industry interfaces with creators of original ideas written for television."

With 45 top productions companies and 4 major networks in the fold, and over a thousand professional and aspiring writers already using the service, Manvilles bet is already starting to pay off.

[Mr. Manville is available for personal interviews in all media outlets.
