About ReadTV
Where Writers Write and Readers Rule
READTV is designed to engage a new kind of television audience through online readership and interactive participation by using web-based content to enhance downloadable episodic television episodes, MOWs & game shows.
By Offering fresh and original television series presented in their written form available for download to an online reading audience READTV plans to capture a new kind of television "viewer", a more intelligent, imaginative "viewer" who enjoys to read, has opinions and who enjoy spending a large chunk of their free time online.
If you've always wanted to have some say in what might happen to your favorite television characters or wish someone would listen to your rants about your favorite shows READTV is for you. When you become part of ReadTV's community you can discover new worlds and characters, download monthly episodes of your favorite online series, participate in reader feedback polls, chat with others who share your interests and passions and even learn how you can write your own series! Get the background on your favorite characters and rifle through their private online diaries to get the inside scoop. Sign up to receive monthly newsletters with series updates, writing tips and an available download schedule of new episodes for all of READTV's original series. Best of all, membership at READTV is FREE!
Each original READTV series, ranging from comedies to dramas, to online game shows to soap operas, will have its own website designed in a way to take the "viewer" on a journey to enhance their online reading experience. Each website will reflect the style of each individual series and offer members an array of fun, facts and information designed specifically around the original shows content. Unlike serial books and novels where you may have to wait years for another installment, new episode installments for each of READTV's series will be made available for download every month, allowing members of READTV to "watch" at will, not at a set, scheduled time. Each series will run for a minimum of 12 episodes, updated monthly to maintain and attract its audience.
READTV is also designed to bring together screenwriter's interested in television, allowing them to learn and grow as writers while experiencing online industry-working conditions such as pitch sessions, story & development meetings and feedback while creating buzz and establishing an online "viewer" audience. Each selected series will have its own website, connected to the network hub, and feature added value content to enhance the online viewer's experience. "Ratings" will be established by daily web reports that will keep track of how many hits each series web page(s) receive and how many downloads of each script occur.
If you're a writer with a screenplay or an idea for a television show, and you enjoy writing, want to meet new people who share your passion and are tired of your script sitting in a drawer collecting dust while waiting for agents or producers to discover your talent then READTV is for you. All READTV group members form writing staffs and work on assigned series in a pro-like, working atmosphere - think of it as an online book club for screenwriters. Interested?
