Finding and trusting a script writing partner

I was wondering how people going about finding another voice to help them develop and help write a screenplay! I am looking for one other person to assist me in a friendly based Dumb and Dumber project!https://youtu.be/vrxpCEcYmgA

The question is, are you looking for an "and" or a "&" in the writers credit?

Craig D Griffiths

The difference being “and” means two consecutive writers, while a “&” means a writing team.

writing team of 2 to 3 including me

Honestly, it’s been my observation that writing teams don’t work unless the idea was jointly conceived, because Writer’s don’t need other people’s ideas. They already got their own. What else are you bringing to the table? What’s in it for them? The only two answers that matter are money and/or connections.

So—are you paying? If so, how much? For how long? Or perhaps you know the Director of Development at Disney? Or at least an Agent at CAA?

Why should a Writer choose your project instead of his own?

Actually working with a partner can be very beneficial for both writers. You learn techniques from each other, and how to work with a partner. It can be tough when someone doesn't believe in a line you wrote, and you're forced to talk it out. Also, partners double your chances of success, double the contacts, and double the fun. I love breaking story with a partner.

What are you looking for exactly? I looked at your I.C.Sara tale, interesting but it's not a script.

The thing about a writing partner is that you want to make sure you work well together. That can be hard to find with strangers. I had a friend who wanted me to be his writing partner - a good friend - and he was a vampire. He expected me to carry all the heavy lifting, and I wanted to collaborate. It didn't end well. And you really do want to think about it as a collaboration, two people bringing different perspectives working towards the same goal.

As far is finding a third, the WGA only wants to credit two writers/teams. To get a third person writing credit, you have to go through an arbitration process with the cards stacked against you. I'd recommend focusing on finding one. Meet them, have a chat over coffee, see if your goals align. Best case scenario, you find one whom you'll work with on multiple projects. Worst case scenario...you kill each other.
