While you're shooting around the topic could you shed a little light on credits?

From what I understand if Scott partners with Scott the credit would be listed as...

Screenplay by Scott & Scott.

However... if Scott was rewritten the credit would be listed as...

Scott and Scott.

I've seen some as watered down as Scott & Scott and Scott and Scott.

Are screen credits that important or have the writers been paid upfront and the credit system is more for show and a the resume?

Or... if you receive solo credit are you paid more... with a partner... etc... etc...

Courtney, if you don't mind, I'll take this up in a future GITS RQ. It will be a scintillating discussion of ampersands and such!

Ampersands... sweet!

Sounds great... I look forward to it.

Also looking forward to your upcoming query post as well.

Lord knows I need the help!
