Would you please share a story of a meeting with or pitch from a new writer? What was going through your mind? How was the experience?
@DT Houston (I'll bet the attempt to actually tag you won't work) what a great story! Thanks for sharing?

Great share, David Zannoni! Thank you!
That's good info David. I'm on the other side receiving the residuals so interesting how they are calculated. I have often wondered how they get calculated.
Incredible breakdown of residuals, David Zannoni! I didn't know residuals could be paid up front out of the budget. Thanks for writing this blog! It's a must-read!
Hi David, is this an escrow account? Or a bank account?
Always great to see you here, David Zannoni, and you always bring the knowledge and guidance that the community needs. Thanks, brother!
