Rumours have been floating around for the past couple of months that Amazon was looking to produce sitcoms and children’s television. Now All Things D is confirming it: Amazon is looking to pay $US10,000 to option scripts and $US55,000 if a show is greenlit.
This is pretty bizarre, but when you consider the support they give writers on their Kindle program, it makes more sense. Would-be screenwriters can submit scripts to Amazon, which will buy the rights for $US200,000 if they like it.
