How Managers Use Coverfly

with John Zaozirny
If something comes on my radar because it has been aggregated in such a way-- like if Coverfly recommends it-- I am checking out that logline. Period. All I look at is that this must be good because it comes from people that I trust.
When I do get a recommendation from Coverfly, I take that very seriously. The quality is so high that I know the writers are in high demand. I know other people are paying attention to it so I move quickly to check it out.
I use competitions to sign potential clients.
