Who says you won't rip me off?
Skeptical readers are likely to have two concerns.
One is the "too-good-to-be-true" variety. We have all seen advertisements promising to publish our books, to get us parts in major motion pictures, to erase our wrinkles or to melt away excess pounds -- and we know they're bunk.
So let us restate our promise: we do not guarantee that we can sell your idea to Hollywood. We only promise to evaluate it, and if we like it, to try to sell it -- after getting your permission first. We want you to send us a great idea that we can sell. That's what this grand experiment with the Internet is all about. But we can make no guarantees.
Which leads to another understandable concern: what is to stop Robert Kosberg from stealing your great idea? One answer is that he is a man of integrity, but you don't know him and so that is a leap of faith.
Another answer is that stealing ideas is bad business. Personal relationships are vital in the entertainment business. It is Kosberg's relationships with studio executives -- relationships that took years to establish -- that provide him the opportunity to sell ideas. If he ever sold a stolen idea and it resulted in a lawsuit against the studio, he would have doors shut in his face. Forever. So it is not practical for him to rip you off.
That said, telling your idea to anyone is always a risk. If you are not comfortable taking that risk, please do not do so.
